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

[The D3vil]

They didn't hit and not get hit though

They do.

That's why they OUTLAND their opponents.

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.

Andy Cruz and Robeisy Ramirez, you can add to those names, Iglesias, Gomez, Herrera, Bryan Gonzalez, David Morrell, Leon (he fought the mexican in the undercard bout of canelo vs scull) and a few more I can't recall now, one thin in common, they all defected young, from 17 to 18 yo.

I actually enjoy Rigo, Lara, and Rances Barthelemy. Scull could had won if he let his hands go. What he and Devin did was a shame but it is also your opponent job to make you work in that ring and if you are a flat footed fighter that doesn't want to cut off the ring then your at fault too when it comes to a boring fight.

I think some of those cuban boxers need to find a professional non-cuban trainer when they come to the pros. Olympic boxing is a sport first while Pro Boxing is entertainment first. Theirs fighters that get tones of opportunities to win a belt or judges look the other way because they are a marketable fighter that delivers action. Gatti and Mancini are remembered more for their entertainment then their skills in the ring. You can stay Mancini's entertained us so much it ended his career and took a person's life.

Barthelemy. Another one who had some awful fights.

Remember Richar Abril?

Cuban David is classic

he called Mexican David RoboCop fighting style

team Benavidez laughed along with it because it’s true

a very upright fighter

Remember Richar Abril?

Yes. I remember his fight with Hank Lundy way back.

Abril would land his share, he wasn't a runner and would stay in front of you, he was robbed against Rios blindly. They have score card filled before the fight.

It’s better suited for amateur boxing where they only score the punches that are landed.

Had the Canelo/Scull bout been an amateur bout; Then Scull won have won that bout hands down.

It’s because he threw and landed more punches than Saul Alvarez.
