    If it is him I have not really seen him, just saw one little highlight 20 second video. But, I have read good things about him.
    Correct, he still reps Cuba though, got the flag as the pattern for his shorts.

      WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :laff: :laff: :laff:

      I can't take those feather-fisted midgets seriously, man. The lowest division I'll bring myself to watch is flyweight, and even then it's only because of hard-hitters like Darchinyan who'll soon be moving up to bantamweight.

      Hasegawa's cool, too, but any smaller than him and it starts to look like Miniature Heroes in that ring.

        I hear about the fighters sometimes on the radio shows, but it's embarrasing how little i know about the super featherweight division and below.

        what do you guys think about the lower weights?

        do you feel they get enough exposure?
        I think that depends on where you are. I'm Asian and I know very little of the current fighters above 168 and have little interest. Reason being I find them too slow. Plus, IMO, there is little 2 way action. But that is just me.

          I think smaller fighters need a really good promoter or at least to be in a few wars to get their names up. Rafael Marquez, Donaire, VicDarch, Juanma? I think Juanma is 126, there are great fighters in the lower weight classes but they definitely do not get the exposure they deserve. I may just be my perception, but it seems that a lot of them are pound for pound better than most fighters in the higher weight classes, shame they arent more visible.

            Bantamweight will get better if Ra'shee Warren quits chasing that gold medal and turns pro. That guy is so nasty with it, it's not even funny. He barely lost to Guillermo Rigondeaux not even that long ago (I think it was a point or two) so that alone tells you how talented he is. Kid is the real deal and if you ever get a chance to check him out you won't be dissapointed. Also Rigondeaux is at Bantamweight and Chris Avalos is also a nice (but untested prospect).

              Lol @ that dumb puerto rican not mentioning Gamboa in the 126 category when he is the most exciting boxer alive and one of the most popular in the lighter weight classes.

              is it because you know that he will probably be the first one to give your mami Juanma a loss?
