    They aren't allowed to turn pro. Cuba is a communist country, they don't do that.

    When you live in a socialist country, there is no such thing as 'Profesional sports'.

    Usually it seems that people who are boxing fanatics also are history buffs. Not in this case obviously but it seems like a common theme.

    That's true. Interesting, I never really thought of it. Maybe it's because boxing itself is so old and has such a long history?

    It was pretty funny you have to admit. There's no excuse for being ignorant on such a matter
