I never saw Periban until he came to Mexico City last month to train, and i was surprised at his skill level and poise. He is also a very big Super middleweight, Bika is a good hard professional fighter who i am sure is also well trained for this title fight. I think this will be a very good fight.

I dont know if it has been said here before, but am i the only one who thinks Ramos looks like a black Freddie Mercury from Queen?

Just checked into my hotel, got my WBC credentials and i am off to Seinor Frogs for some drinks and to find some chickas for tonight. tomorrow the beach and the fights, Damn i love boxing!

A manager brought me a woman to train, she is not bad but then he asked if i would be in her corner and of course i said yes. Then he asked me who i thought was the best female boxer and i told him i dont know because i dont watch womans boxing and he got an attitude and threatned to have someone else train her and to that i laughed at him and told him i dont need the $50 i would get for working her corner anyway and then he calmed down. So that leads me to my question for the hard core boxing fans on this site who here watchs womans boxing?

Yesterday i was training some of my fighters (i own a gym in Mexico City) and some of the kids were talking about their fav boxers. Then one of the kids said i dont like so and so because he has no "heart" (i am not going to say who he was talking about because i wont go into that whole debate with any fanatic on this board) And i told the kid to pack his bag leave my gym and dont come back, everybody was shocked and then i explained that is ok for someone to say if thay just watch boxing, but for someone who is training to be a fighter that is unexcusable, because a boxer should know what is envolved in this game and i dont have time to try to explain thing a real fighter should already know

If you could only win one which would you choose?

Now mind you i am a fighter it is my mentality, i had a lot of am fights with a lot of stoppages and when i fought a good boxer that had the skill to outbox me i would take chances and sometimes i would get stopped myself. ¿No problem right? but now i am blind in one eye which is ok because there is nothing i can do about it now. But when i got to the states i could not go pro because of my eye so i was a sparring partner and at times i did more than hold my own fighting contenders and champs with a bad eye and always people would say too bad you cant go pro. So i always think to myself if i would of boxed more mabey things would of been different. So i understand both sides, but just like i tell my fighters now that there is life after boxing so fight with your head not your heart.

I'm in Mexico and watched the fight with some old-school Mexican trainers and after the fight we all declared Bute an honorary Mexican with that world-class body attack. His new name is Senior Lucian Nalgas or Culo for short

Mat Hatton and Johnny Nelson? I think as a country England has a great passion for boxing and the general public has more boxing savy than the U.S. that being said why all the hate for these two? Hatton is limited but it is no crime to be so if you give an honest effort in the ring and Nelson's boxing style was not exciting but very effective, so what gives?

is kell brook of mixed blood? he kind of looks a little like the hamed to me.

i've known JCC jr for 4 years now and what i can tell you is he is a humble and a very respectfull kid, and it was good to see him get out of mexico for some actual scientific training ( most of the trainers here are stuck in the stone-age) and for a kid with no am experince and all the pressure of his familiy name he focused and trained hard and fought like a true pro. thanks to his genetics and his willpower he is finally going to reach his potential as a boxer, and most keyboard warriors knock the kid for not being his father but then again all keyboard warriors have no ideal of how hard the toughest sport on earth really is. now if mexico beats argentina today i wont have to work for a week!

http://.imageshack.us/g/cimg3000m.jpg/Now i am a national talent scout for Ring Telmex instead of just one of the trainers. The W.B.C. along with telmex are sponsoring Mexican boxers from the ams to the championship and my job was to train the fighters but now i am a scout and get to travel Mexico looking for that special talent. And i WILL find the next great Mexican fighter and train him from start to finish. and i will also find some very good fighters also but i know in my soul i will find the great one. I have not been this excited in a long time!!! ( p.s now i now how this fourm works now, prove it or it aint real right? well here it is! hope this works i have never posted a pic before)

just watched the gamboa fight and i have to say that was an amazing display of athleticism! the speed, the power, the movement was f*ckin beautiful to watch, he showed poise and persistent percision to destroy a limited but very tough fighter. i am not being biased because he is Cuban too, i am just stating the facts because they are plain to see and i can not wait to watch him fight again because just like rjj it does not matter who he is fighting because he is the show all by himself

finaly got a chance to watch the fights this past weekend and i must say i am very impressed with tim bradly and jean pascal. the last fight i saw of bradlys was when he fought cherry and i was not that impressed, but in the fight this weekend against a solid, well-schooled, unbeaten fighter tim put it all together and outclassed a very good fighter and made it look easy. and jean pascal has improved drasticlly from the fight with froch, in that fight he proved he had no dog in him but skill wise he looked very unschooled. but in the fight this weekend against a strong pressure fighter pascal out-boxed him and out-fought him and put on a good show with one good arm on top of that! would love to see him and my man cloud get it on, to me now that fight is a toss-up. cheers to the young champs! i will be watching :boxing: what are other break-out fights for young fighters that you say "Hes got the goods"

I was just watching a few Bruce Seldon fights, what a f*ckin jab! the man had size, speed, power, great reflexes and very good tecnique, and when the fight was going his way he looked like a ATG, but when the other fighter didnt give in and fought back Bruce fell apart. now mind you i am not criticizing someone with enough common sence to feel "hey f*ck this im about to get seriously hurt here!" and call it a day, but just watching them sometimes is fustrating because you know that if they just dug a little deeper they could pull it out. list fighters that you watch and say "damn thats too bad the heart doesnt match the skills"

this is a serious question, i was born in Cuba (but im American now too) so the only sport in Cuba IS boxing. so i would say that almost every healthy cuban male has tried to box at one time in their lives and also the status and the honor one gets from being a boxer in Cuba is tremendus. that means the best athletes in Cuba are boxing so there for the talent level is extremly high. boxing is my life, all of the money i have ever made has been from the boxing industry but if i was born in America i dont think i would have chosen to box. i would have chosen to play football Americano (American football) for sure, all the status the money the fame and its a game not mortal combat plus the possibility to go to collage free. so i think the best athletes in America play other sports, and American heavyweight domination is over. your thoughts?

for me i think Rigondeaux will do the most as a pro, and the least? Solis for sure, he is the next Cuban heavy to grossly under-achive. your thoughts?

I must say i am impressed, the kid brings it. nice speed, great endurance and a puncher who can box, im sold on this kid. I thought he was one of thoses fighters in chicago who got served soft touches to build up the record to cash them out in one nice payday, nope the kid can fight. the kid even rocks on his right hand alas james toney (and myself). mabey i like this kid cause we have similar styles dont know, but with dawsons shaky chin and the fact he has a little trouble with pressure (alas glen johnson) i would put my money on cloud. him and that pascal would be a hell of a fight, and that romainan kid fighting out of canada and cloud would be a war. its nice to see new talent arive on the scene

very interesting conversation, but lets be real i bet most of the posters here have never fought before. so let me tell you how i see it, back then boxing was huge it was along with baseball was the most popular sports in the u.s (im cuban by the way born and raised) so there for you have a larger talent pool to work from because alot more people are boxing, so you will have more talent to chose from, thus better comp and a much harder journey to a championship belt. but that being said yes as time goes by the human race gets bigger, faster, stronger and more advanced. so yes the boxers today might be better athletes but better boxers no. those boxers from the 30s to 60s fought better fighters skill wise and a lot more often so mabey it seems that the old timers can be beat by the guys of today by watching film but its not that easy. just because someones technique is nicer does not mean they are a better fighter. its a bout skill and will in the boxing ring period. if you want to judge a fighter by technique you should switch sports and watch figure skating. why are there so many good am boxers from a small island like cuba? because if you are a healthy male from cuba its almost certin you tried to box at one time, large talent pool.

victor is what i would call a front-runner, in every boxers career there is a time when you are getting beat-up and you want to be anywhere else than in the ring at that moment. so many things run thru your head at that time but true fighters always no matter what belive "if i can just hold out a little longer i will be alright" even if they wont be. anyone can fight on top thats easy, but real fighters can and do fight from the bottom. victor has the dog in him you could see it in his face after the last knock-down, i have seen it all my boxing life guys with all skills and no will and no trainer is going to change that. just like my first trainer always said "tuff times dont last but tuff people do" but at least he made a little money. i wish him luck he seems like a good kid, but as a fighter he is done because making that choice the first time is hard but after that its very easy to make that same choice again

I dont think so he has been caught already, tomorrow they will just hear his side of the story because that is the judicial process but the fact is that if there was no evidence we would not be talking about this. it is a very unfortunate situation for him and i dont like seeing some one who fought so hard to make it out of the barrio with heart some skill and much sacrifice to be digraced like this but thats what happens when you get caught. as a fighter myself i have no respect for him or his trainer, that is the worst thing you can do in this game and it is f**kin cowardly. only real men need apply to for this job, and i said it before i will fight someone on roids no problem and being a heavyweight there is no way that i have'nt, the roids wont improve your skill level and definitely wont improve your chin but to fight someone with loaded gloves? disgracefull
