His 4th fight:
Your thoughts?
very cool to see a young cuban with lots of potential. he looks good so far, hopefully he makes it big. thanks for sharing man, going to try and keep up with this kid.
It appeared that Charlton actually shoved Socarras to the ground as Hairon was moving past him. Even then, I had Socarras winning 38-37 (as did one of the judges). That "knockdown" clearly cost Hairon the fight. What a sad joke.
One good thing: that fight should've been a great learning experience for the young Cuban. Now he has a better idea of what pro boxing can really be like. He also learned that he can't knock everyone out, even when he's better. It was the first time Hairon went more than two rounds.
Socarras looks pretty good. He seems to have solid potential. The best thing is he's only eighteen years old. Although the 33 year old Charlton was only 1-1, he was surprisingly better (and tougher) than his record indicated. "El Maja" is still green, but he's someone to keep an eye out for.
Agreed.
He'll get better as time passes by. He's already showing he can crack, but to win in boxing it takes more than that.
That ''knockdown'' was so BS man. The ref was blind he didn't see it was a rabbit punch that ''knocked'' Socarras down :nonono:.

After watching socarras, ramos is alot better.
RIGHT NOW? YEAH HE IS! I will give you that...HE IS A TITLE HOLDER
I didn't say Socarros was A BETTER FIGHTER FIGHT NOW, I said I like his UPSIDE better...MEANING LONG TERM!
El Maja is very talented but he has a LONG WAY TO GO, probably wont see or hear him start making noise in that super bantamweight until he is arount 21-22 years old
Yordenis Ugas is the Cuban Prospect to watch out for in that Welterweight Division though IMO, I could see him in another year or so really start to make noise in that division
but Socarras has a long way to go, but I like his upside better then other prospect in that division like Rico Ramos (no longer a prospect now though), Scott Quigg and Enrique Bernache

Socarras is fighting next month (the 14th) in Kissimmee FL (boxrec):biggthump.
PS - I added his 2nd pro fight just incase anyone wanted to download it to complete his 4 fight collection.
Thank you. The kid has anesthesia in both hands. BTW, who is the dancing lady in your sig?

All these Cuban have got all these weird ugly names like Socarras, Yuriorkis, Yudel, Yan, Rigondeaux, Erislandy, etc.
No. Socarrás is not his name, it's his surname. And it's not so uncommon in Cuba or Spanish speaking countries. Hairon is his name, which is indeed weird.
He wasn't born in USA. He is from Havana.
"Majá" is the name of a Cuban species of boa constrictor.
:lol1: His english is still messed up, but he'll get better.
I only hope he starts fighting quality opponents at 122 so he can move up to 126. There are more bigger fish there than in 122.
Interview with Hairon starts at 3:35 :biggthump.
"When I knock 'em out somebody..." lol
I hope this kid keeps his head on straight. He's appears to have potential, but he's really young...a lot can happen.
Thanks for posting the vid, Underboss!

Foking traiter, im sick of these Cuban traitors leaving their home country. They should be executed if they ever go back. This is the respect you give to dear leader?
I love visiting Cuba, been there 5 times, great country and great people, nice to see some of them speak Russian and tons of Soviet stuff left over for me to buy.
Cuba one of the last great great countries left in the world, but slowly but surely its being ruined by corporations/usa/zionists who want to make some $$$ out of a small little Island.
Dear Real Cubans who are not coward deserters, this Russian stands and supports you! We have had your backs since day one! Respect Comrades!
Dont worry these filthy deserters will get theirs, same with all the fake cubans in Miami
Calm your ass down Comrade Vladimir :rolleyes:.
