What weight is he fighting at?

[David_TheMan]

I wonder if he is going to get fat after experiencing life in a free society.

[Zocalo]

Good for him....

[ИATAS]

What weight is he fighting at?

I think he fought at 120 in the olympics so I'm guessing 122 or 126, same as gamboa.

Wow,i bet right now,this guys gona be champ and something very special,hes the best Cuban amateur in recent years,out of Gamboa,Solis,etc,he was the star

[bishop2006]

I was just talking about how bad I wanted him to defect last night!

Man,i was thinking after seeing Lara (outstanding fighter) the other night,imagine Rigondeaux would have made it too? Now he has,wow,this is crazy

Ahmet Öner is the best thing to happen to Cubans boxing wise

For anybody thats wondering,he is infact better then Gamboa,and has a pro style,hes already 28,but with his skills,he'll want a belt in like his 12th fight similar to Gamboa

[BrooklynBomber]

Yeah, we now got lots of promising guys who can possibly be the face of boxing in 3-4 years.

[Reggie Miller]

Just got off the phone with his manager, I'm going to set up an interview for tomorrow or Wednesday. Apparently he went through Mexico with three other Cuban Olympians and is hanging out in Miami.

According to Arena Box Promotion Website, they never stated 3 other cubans were involved in the defection, .

Rigondeaux blasted through the AMS he's amazing. The pro ranks are in for a treat.

Well maybe he meant Gamboa, Lara and Rigondeaux. I know Lara and Rigondeaux defected together but Rigondeaux stayed behind to help his family whereas Lara escaped.
