Incredible how fast someone can strike it rich in the Land of the Free. And it’s a lot slower and harder for a boxer. I’ve seen several Cuban baseball players that have signed lucrative contracts before they even play a single major league game. Yordan Alvarez defected from Cuba in 2016 and signed a deal with the LA Dodgers for $2 million. Just this month, Yordan signed a six-year contract extension with the Houston Astros worth $115 million. God bless America!

I agree. But Robeisy is more aggressive and appears to hit harder. These are qualities that make a fighter more marketable. Ramirez’s style lent itself to the pros. I knew it watching him as an amateur. I don’t get nearly that feeling with Cruz.Comment

He needed a dancing partner. The schooling he gave prime nonito was priceless. All 122lbs ran from him, can you imagine if framptom, mares, st+ and quigg has stepped to the plate?Comment

Yordan is a especial talent, just like Abreu, Roberts, Céspedes, Moncada and that kid that the Nationals spent all their international money, Christian Vaquero. White Sox signed Colas, another good prospect. Actually 5 Cubans were signed in the first ten slots.
