Well he was Olympic Champion and a lot of these Cuban boxers, aren't able to leave until they put the guard down of Cuba's government officials. Guillermo Rigondeux is another one who is a monster but he's not very young, but is probably one of the greatest Cuban amateur boxers ever.
That is why is he being brought up so fast. He dosent need fights really to grow. He had enough growing in the amateurs. He had like 300 amateur fights.
