Hahaha that gif :lol1:
I thought Lara-Angulo was a damn good fight, not just because of Angulo
Why people think Cubans boring damn, this is boxing not just uncivilized face bashing lol
Have no clue bro! Got respect all styles of the fight game. From Sluggers to the slick boxers.
I like most cuban boxers. A lot of skill and athleticism. The amateur system truly is top notch.
Cuban fans...well that's another story.
Dey yung doe.
The Cuban fans are the ones that deserve the heat! Where they at??? How come a Cuban fighter can't sell good an arena in Miami???
Gamboa and Lara(most of the time) I've got no problems with but, Rigo is boring as hell. The real problem is he is the best Cuban fighter, so all Cubans and Cuban fans almost have to back him. Even when rigo is moving forward he always waits for the other fighter to throw first just so he can counter.
I
You want Rigondeaux to excite feed Kiko, Frampton, Cruz too him.
You want Lara to excite don't match him with guys like Molina, Trout, Ishe Smith
its that simple.
Sorry to interrupt your love poem, but Dick Schaefer agrees on Lara:
Lets call it what it is, he is a different kind of fighter which is okay. Who would want to see Erislandy Lara against Austin Trout? That wouldn't be an exciting fight.
Kiko didnt really want to fight Rigo, and I'm sure Frampton's people feel the same way.
You not only a hater but a liar, the ppl went to see the kid from Philly that night and after the kirkland demolition they left the arena early, you never say anything nice about any Cuban fighter because you can put the best mexican fighter in the ring with a Rigondeaux, Lara, Gamboa, Rances etc... and he will be demolish it...
, What happened is that Rigo's boring a$$ showed up...here :bottle:
Hell, I feel like I'm the only fan who loves the all action KO guys (GGG, Kovalev, Thurman, Matthysse, Provo etc) but also love to watch Riigo or Lara do their thing -add Molina , even Gamboa to that list if you want...
I just don't get the distain for these guys.
people are blinded ... styles is what makes this sport beautiful... people think that everyone is born to fight in phone booth .. while fighting dudes who on fight night 15 pounds heavier could you imagine if sergio martinez stand there barbarian phone booth no angles against 20 pounds heavier chavez jr? or mayweather just standing there against canleo who out weigh him by close to 20 pounds! or sugar ray leonard standing trading shots with hagler .. people are very blind hate when people give boxing lesson .. people hate when you have feet movement body movement turning fighters having them swinging miss? i dont get it its beautiful to watch .. rigo never had showcase fights main events on hbo while canelo who not that exciting himself fights against lil matthew hatton ryan rhodes old cintron gomez lol wtf broner gavin rees eloy perez escobedo wtfff ''they are beast'' right soooo imagine rigo kills teon kennedy 5 knockdowns , murder of underfeated madatory at the time wiillie casey in one rd .. dropping marroquin twice were hbo primetime then beating pd for pd donaire who was beheading dudes outweigh rigo by 12 pounds then making a ex champ agbeko so scared to throw how would casuals feel ... i just dont get people
It has nothing to do with Cuban boxing its a style clash. You put two pure boxers together, two counterpunchers the chances are its going to be a chessmatch 9 time out of 10.
Cuban boxing is the purest, cleanest most beautiful too watch. If you want them to excite then stop putting them in with stinkers and serial clinchers like Carlos Molina.
You want Rigondeaux to excite feed Kiko, Frampton, Cruz too him.
You want Lara to excite don't match him with guys like Molina, Trout, Ishe Smith
its that simple.
The fluidity, balance, precision these guys possess is extraordinary. Rigondeaux is like a damn cobra. The guys accuracy is scary. Everything is pinpoint, he never wastes a shot.
Give me guys like Lara, Hernandez, Abril, Gamboa, Rigondeaux over these uncoordinated so called great fighters any day. Most of them couldn't box a lick.
:rofl: :rofl:
With all respect to Cubans because it has nothing to do with nationality, I like and respect Cuban people BUT Cuban BOXING is just horrendous to watch. It is truly disgusting in my eyes. That is the feeling I get whenever I catch a round or two, disgusted.
The ONLY Cuban fighter I could stand back in 2008 was Gamboa when he was a little monster, not so much anymore.
I just skip the fights, the last time I saw a Cuban fight in the last 5 years was because of Nonito when he fought Rigondeaux.
Also you might add "well it's not boring to Me." Well there is always a minority. If you fall into this category it's bit because your superior to any casual fan. It just means you're in the minority on this topic.
It's just not a fan friendly style. It's appreciated mainly in retrospect. It's understood. It's just boring.
You don't have to be a boxing buff to appreciate the art of hit and not be hit. Score points and win rounds. Everybody comprehends what they are doing. It's not like there's a small group of you guys who have some type of information over the rest of us because you love the way they fight.
It's just BORING TO WATCH. Black and white..,
You not only a hater but a liar, the ppl went to see the kid from Philly that night and after the kirkland demolition they left the arena early, you never say anything nice about any Cuban fighter because you can put the best mexican fighter in the ring with a Rigondeaux, Lara, Gamboa, Rances etc... and he will be demolished...
just like lara demolished molina
or casamayor demolished castillo
(or marquez for that matter)
quit generalizing bro, ur whats wrong with boxing.
The way I see it is you don't see Miguel Vazquez talking all this s**t about his promoter and the whole evil world conspiring against him like Rigo and Lara do.
I mean it ain't no coincidence that Rigo did the lowest ratings of all time for a HBO BAD show, and Lara did the lowest ratings on Showtime's 12/7/13 show. And not to mention that everyone walked out and left during Rigo vs. Agbeko.
If Rigo and Lara just do what they do like Vazquez, and shut the f**k up, I'd have no problem with them.You not only a hater but a liar, the ppl went to see the kid from Philly that night and after the kirkland demolition they left the arena early, you never say anything nice about any Cuban fighter because you can put the best mexican fighter in the ring with a Rigondeaux, Lara, Gamboa, Rances etc... and he will be demolish it...
I say they needs some contests or giveaways~
Put 10 grand up in the rafters and when the Cuban guy wins have him pull a velvet rope dropping the money on the crowd, plus probably another 10 grand to give away to the viewing audience like giving out a code to each HBO subscription or however then giving out the code at some random point (probably toward the end) during the fight (so they have to watch).
You can't buy better marketing for 20 grand~
That's not a bad idea.
I would buy a ticket, I mean it would be me and 7 other guys getting tickets :D
I wonder why people nobody has said anything about Caveman Chavez, I guess his fans aren't so vocal.
