Guillermo Rigondeaux Defects, Signs With Arena Box

[ИATAS]

Damn, his amateur record is 243-4.

[Mr. Ryan]

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

That's true, because they aren't signed to ArenaBox. I'll get the names tomorrow but they were all medalists. Apparently they are all still celebrating their independence.

That fella that lost to James DeGale looked like he is better suited to the pro's too, any news on him?.

Damn, his amateur record is 243-4.

Who beat him?.

[ИATAS]

Who beat him?.

Rencise Perez and Beksat Sattarkhanov in 1998, Waldemar Font in 1999, and his most recent loss against Agasi Mamedov in 2003 but he also beat Aghasi Mammadov a couple of times too.

Damn, boxers are fleeing Cuba in record numbers. There were always some that defected, but it seems a lot more common since Fidel has gone down hill.

Damn that is impressive . I wonder why he didn't wait till Beijing to join the other Cuban amateur greats with 3 golds?.

Thanks.

How old is this guy?

Thanks.

He tried to defect a couple years ago and because of that he was kicked off the boxing team.

Why live in a small island nation that doesn't allow you to make a living doing the thing you do the best?

I don't know about Fidel going down hill, I think he's dead but the people don't want to say it.
