It's Official Cuban Olympian Uggas is in the U.S

I had been hearing about his defection for a while but yesterday while watching the lara fight i saw a familiar face on the ring. this kid is 23 years old and is probably going to be fighting in the 135 or 140 division most likely the 140 he doesnt look as skinny as he did when he fought at 135, he is one of cuba's most promising stars, he was first noticed on an international level when he won gold at the world amateur championships at the age of 19 but he had been suspended for about 8 months because he was caught chatting with gamboa here is his resume Olympic Games 2008- bronze World Amateur Championships 2005 - gold Central American and Caribbean Games-gold Pan American Games 2007 - Gold World Cup 2005- silver

Hopefully he'll do well and fight at 140. That division is only looking better and better.

A glass jaw hmmm. That won't do him well in the pros but we will see. We can't expect all these cuban prospects to blow up like Gamboa and Casa but I wouldn't mind if they did.

I like the expression in Ugas face... It's like he can't believe he's there, if you look with attention it looks like he's thanking God for finally setting him free lol hell yeah man it looks like he got emotional, hopefully his career will start soon

caught chatting with gamboa? i dont get that why would he be suspended for that? athletes who defect the country illegally are called traitors by the government, therefore athletes inside cuba can't have contact with them.

Cuban boxers have reached almost myth like status, but its warranted. The amateur Cuban program/school is intense.

Probably because Gamboa defected exactly if he was caught talking to someone who defected then its pretty clear that he's trying to defect too which he did
