La Finca (not sure if that's what this documentary is about) is no joke! People talk sh1t about Cubans and their boxing all they want but we put in work to this sh1t. No PEDs involved.

Fun Fact, Cristhian is now in our Slovakian National team :) Last time i met him on Slovakian national tournament. Cool and humble guy, he is 20 now an fighting at 64kg his main goal is 2020 Tokyo Olympics since he was not choosed to be in Cuban National Team :) we became friends and i am rooting for him.
Still tho Kovalev after 5 round was really tired, just like last fight. He got hurt by straight hand not by bodyshot, thus terrible ref. Dude is in bussines for decades and cant judge top tier fight unbiased ? Damn
Wtf, i woke up at 4:30 am to watch it here in Slovakia and that dumb referee stopped that fight so ****ing prematurly. They are elite level fighters i think he should at least count him or play it as Kell Brook and take a knee... That Judge is BS, isnt the one who was in Taylor Chavez ?
True Oscar was pretty good in the 90s but we all saw how Bernard broke him down with body work, and Spence is the best in the game at that.
Fan Boy allert lmao
I had Brook up till 8 round. Brook should never take that GGG fight, cost him his career. Spence is pretty good, he works on that body real hard and that is what Thurman does not like. But i feel Both DSG and Keith can beat him, but yo Spence just won give him break. But i would like to see Porter fight. and Kell should fight Amir in 154.
Golovkin was very disappointing
I felt kovalev won the ward fight and ward does no favours with his antics in the rematch talk
P4P 1 open at the moment
GGG cant be P4P number one.. He has no defense he is not slick, sharp, fast he has just power. One dimensional fighter cant be p4p. Maaaaaaan
I root for Wlad. It will be just good for Joshua to take L. He has no real talent. He is hyped, so big ass L would take him back to reality that he is not great nor talented. He is not even gold medalist, he lost against Cammarelle.
This is why is boxing not that alive as it used to be. Back in the day elite was fighting elite. Most of the time no ducking. Fighters was still called great even with L. Its all about the money now smh. Protecting records more than kids lmao
In order to be overrated, that means that the media and a large segment of the boxing fan base must be touting said fighter and crowning him with accolades that are beyond his skill and ability, or level of competition.
Hopkins gets overrated in my book because of his level of opposition, hiding out at 160 for too long, and often losing when stepping up.
Jose Torres was overrated. Didn't want any part of Bob Foster who was the true king at 175.
Can't really say Johansson is overrated because he never really received all that much glory or admiration. No one talked about him after his loss to Patterson. He was never on anyone's all-time great list at any time.
Primo Carnera was hyped in order to sell fights. Many of his wins were either fixed or came against no-hopers. Watch the movie "The Harder they Fall" with Humphrey Bogart for a fictional yet accurate portrayal of Carnera's career.
Marciano was rated right where he should be. A small, late-comer to boxing, who fought whoever was there at the time. Criticized for fighting guys past their prime, but in fairness, that's what was there during the 50s.
Ruben Carter wasn't anything special. He gained more notoriety for his time in prison and the book and movie that told the story of his life and career. To this day his guilt/innocence is still contested.
Valdes was never on anyone's ATG list either. He fought some great fighters and there was no shame in losing to them. He also out pointed a prime Ezzard Charles.
The list at the bottom looks like it was written by a bitter fanboy of a particular fighter.
Beating Tito in his best. Oscar,tarver,Roy(yeah both old),Pascal as 40+ years old grandpa not many guys did that. Or going Distance with big puncher like Kovalev at age of 50 man. no one did that. Man even Pavlik or Winky are good wins in my eyes.
Were Morrison, Cooney, Paz, Camacho even considered highly rated in '02?
Maaaan Cooney was Great White Hope that will kick that Black ass in one round :D plot twist he got killed by Larry man :D that was pleasure to watch
Dont have time right now to watch but good for you!!Its a WHOLE ANOTHER thing once you step inside.Be honest how fast did you gass, I know I did in 1st fight even worse in 1st sparring match.Them nerves with someone punching back is a whole diff story.Anyways congrats and will try and catch it tomorrow!!!!One last thing what weight did you say you fought at?
Thanks for reply. I had 79 kilos on weigh in and i am the Guy in White trunks
The weight classes you use are exactly the same as the ones john l is saying 'cept in metric. And well done, man. Kudos.
Probably, thanks for the reply
Was it a smoker? I ask because weight limit in AMS is 178 for lightheavy and 165 for middle. Also never seen then not use headgear on a novice Am boxer.
Here we call middle weight 75kg and light heavy 81. Maybe i am wrong, and since i am 18+ there is no headger
You're a bum!
Just kidding, actually you looked really good, nice job.
Seemed like you kept your left a little low and had a hitch when you threw it...not that you were asking for any criticism, just saying :D
Thanks a Lot for reply ;)
