He’s got the neck of a wrestler

It’s strange how most wrestlers can’t take a punch

These new generation Cubans have some crazy made up names. Whatever their mom screamed while giving birth with no anesthesia on the kitchen table is what stuck. They used to mix Russian and Cuban names together , now they're just throwing out bad acid trip names.

Not that there's such a thing as a "bad" acid trip.

Haha True story. They call it the “Y” generation. Damn near every Cuban born on the island, from the 80s on, has a first name starting with Y. I personally don’t like it, as cultural identity is being lost. Not everyone has to be named Jose, or Maria, but come on. These are made up “Russian-inspired” names that don’t sound good (in my opinion), are often hard to pronounce and generally difficult to remember.

Dude looks like Evander Holyfield.

Interesting story about how his manager, Valle, walked away from boxing management after he was left with a “bad taste,” and now he’s back. It’s a rough sport for everyone involved.

I'm pretty sure Romero from the UFC could take a punch.

I said most wrestlers, not all

Dan Henderson could take a punch also

But of course they are not in the boxing ring either

The neck muscles decrease the impact of the blow but there is more involved to the ability to take a punch, you have to be born like that

I think you're born with it, if you are a china glass you better learn defense and roll with the punch.
