They generally have a lot of heart. In Brazil, it's a miracle when a fighter becomes a champ, because the lack of suport. We had only 4 world champs and only 2 of them (Jofre and Popó) could defend their titles sucessfully.
I think they get stereotyped as brawlers with great heart, which only tells a part of the story, obviously. There have been great stylists to come from Latin America.
hey gambleer you from brazil?im from argentina i was in the arena when freitas fought barrios, incredible fight
I saw a pretty pathetic performance by an Argentine called Gustavo Kapusi on friday night. He didnt seem the tough as nails type at all.
Mexico has given us Izzy Vasquez. For that I am forever grateful. It's a shame so many cubans opted to never go pro, I would've killed to see a dude like Savon on a more mainstream level.
