The Cuban style, when it’s bad, is the worst in all of boxing

[garfios]

By far the most boring to watch.

That wasn't Cuban style, that was the most bs showing I have ever watched. And canelo is the most limited superstar I have ever watched too.

Cuban style is great at making both fighters look terrible. Definitely not friendly to fans who like to see serious leather getting traded. If you love hit but don't get hit, it's got plenty of value. I'd rather watch Inoue, Chocolatito, Bam Rodriguez, Lomachenko, etc personally. And it's really nice when they've got the power to stop their opponents. I think the world of Bivol and Usyk, but their lack of power in their current divisions takes a lot of the suspense and excitement out of the fight. Let's not even get into Shakur and Haney...

Although I actually like Rigo. Just wish he was a little more offensively minded. The current Cuban school as represented by guys like Morrell Jr, Andy Cruz, and Osley Iglesias is very fun to watch though.

The Cuban boxing is defense and make you pay when you miss, you have Rigondeaux that takes that defensiveness to another level, but he is dog when pressed, Lara the same, but I have witnessed back in Cuba, in my childhood, wars between most of the greatest fighters the Island has priduce since 1960. Their style is more like DMJ, Iglesias, Tellez, Leon, Herrera, Casamayor, Hurtado, and bunch of them that I don't recall right now, Stevenson was the a very good example of the style, Correa, Rolando Garbey. That label was put on one boxer by a bitter promoter because he derailed the wagon, for the next "Pacquio".

Alvarez prime was from ggg 2 to charlo

peak was the Caleb plant fight that was best Alvarez we’d ever see

[ELPacman]

Alls I know, the ending of the fight, the way them two nearly kissed each other made it look like they knew what they just did. They robbed the folks that paid to see that snoozefest and were happy to improve their bank accounts with minimal damage to either. This is exactly the kind of big fights that immediately loses the casuals from the sport completely. There is no way a casual is going to tune into the next hyped fight after they just fell asleep on this one when they got other things to do since boxing is not high on their must see TV list.

so little punishment was shipped that they couldn’t hate each other rofl

Alvarez was thanks for all the movement and helping me get ready for TBud cash out super payday in September

[The D3vil]

Shakira and hankey fight like scull: they win
scull fights like Shakira and hankey: he loses

Shakur & Haney out land their opponents

Scull did not.

"Hit & not get hit"

That's the point of boxing.

You're right, still past prime ggg, two lower divisions and inactive charlo and a good fighter in Caleb, is what the face of boxing has to show for 20 years in the business and 67 fights?

They didn't hit and not get hit though

I already knew boxing is dying. But they always find ways to unalive the sport.
PPV sales and subs are horrible

There's absolutely no way they deserve their paycheck with the declining sales
The money is running dry

They only made money this time because they ran towards a dictator and kissed his hands.
They dont actively GENERATE revenue.
It's subsidized by the whims of a dictator who could drop the sport at any moment.

Rigondeaux is primarily responsible for the current image of Cuban boxing; and, to a lesser extent, Lara. Gamboa, who launched his professional career at the same time, was as exciting as they come, yet no one calls his brand of fighting “Cuban style.” Casamayor, who was the most prominent Cuban fighter prior to the arrival of those three, couldn’t be called boring either. There’s no doubt that the many years of amateur success the nation had affected the style of some of her professionals, but thankfully that trend seems to be reversing. Scull can’t be considered emblematic — thankfully. Guys like Morrell, Cruz and Ramirez are more representative of the “new” Cuban school. They come to fight, and bring some skills with them.
