Barthelmy seems a lot more technical than Gamboa and unfortunately for him he'll probably be overshadowed by him all his career.
I was thinking the same thing. If Yan had some more pop it would probably be a different story but his opponent is MADE to be KO'd and it hasn't happened yet.
Sort of. An oppressive government doesn't give people the means to live.
Casamayor got a gift of a bicycle from Castro when he won the gold medal, and he sold it so he could feed his family.
I mean, they are obviously not 100% the same, but in both scenarios, it doesn't make sense why anyone would proudly don the colors of the country that ****ed them over.
Sometimes ones love for a country, doesnt necessarily have to do with government, but of the land and the people in it... and your familys heritage, that your proud of.

Well when you think about it Castro and his government were the ones that oppressed him and his people. Cuba was a country long before Castro was in control. He probably wears the flag to represent for the people of Cuba, not necessarily the government.
Mostly because he fights at such a low weight class I would think.
Not many people care about divisions under super featherweight. For some reason, 130 seems to be the cutoff point for most boxing fans.
Gamboa fights at 128. Personally I fell that's a pretty cheap way to become a 2 division world champion. Although when it get's to those lower weights it becomes even harder to LOSE that weight.

Depends... some people are just naturally a 130 pounds... i know a few
