We need to follow this guy. Maybe better than Morell...

He is too old to be an Usyk

David Morell was fighting for a belt in his 3rd pro fight so that speaks volumes about the difference in ability level

But its always nice to welcome a new young heavyweight prospect on the scene

Yes brother, this Pero(6-0) is 24, the other (13-0) is 31, if they fight twice a year they will get to 20-0 Dainier with 34 and Leinier with 35, we need Cubans to fight 4 times a year and start before 20 to be able to make history, when our champions get to be champions they are all 30 or older. Then when they defend the titles a couple of times quickly lose, I m so disappointed in Andy Cruz wasted Potential, is so sad, is so beautiful to watch him fight, Lara is fighting next month for a defense of his WBA belt at 40 years old. I have my biggest hopes on the Dubai team, keep them busy

I don't believe that " mature late" business. In what other sport is a thirty five year old physically the equal of a twenty five year old ?

Do you know how hard is for Cubans to get decente fights? The problem is finding a willing partner. That I think is the saddest thing. Not too many are willing to get a beating if not well compensated. I agreed with you and management needs to get creative.Team Dubai has the youngest Cuban boxers. I read (boxeocubano) that benavidez promoter stopped the Morrell Jr vs benavidez fight, he took a page out arum's manual and wants to marinate it more.
