Comments Thread For: Photos: Rigondeaux Starts Sparring With Hairon Socarras

[MalikKnucklez]

Now we know who Rigo's replacement will be. You could say the fight exactly the same.

Hahaha, they only spar the same. Hairon is actually extremely active (sometimes too active/ disorganized), and doesn't have a traditional cuban style, he came over here when he was young and began boxing in the states. But he's got really good hand speed and is heavy handed as f**k, definitely a crowd pleaser.

here he is as one of the nominees for KO of the year on Telemundo, tearing apart Carlos Bruno in the 1st round ( KO happens at around 2:28 mark)

Here is a very short clip of Rigo hitting the punching bag in preparation for his fight with Teon. It was sent to me on twitter today.

yeah bro, Diaz and Cotto trained there before the Margarito fight too.

But none of them train here no more. Yudel Johnson and Puro Pairol and a few of them cats still stop through

Yo, I was just about to ask you about Purito and I see you posted this. You know him or just seen him? Dude is from my hometown in Cuba. Real close with my stepdad's family.

Ima pass by this week out there I haven't been out west in a minute u usually train people or training yourself?

Man let me tell you, that gym is all you see in that picture. Its a small ass garage with one ring and like 3,4 bags.

But its produced hella warriors. Grew up bout 5 minutes from there. Hairon is just one of them. He's only like 19, 4-0 with 1 draw, a fight he was winning decisively but then got knocked down in the last round.

He's another name we'll be hearing in the next couple years.

That was not even a knock down and he won each and every round...

Puro is now officially Dungeon Team man , my cousin is reworking his management contract right now. They co-trained one of the young amateur fighters out of our gym. He's doing well, man. We'll be mounting a comeback soon

Damn, for real? That's good to hear. Purito got to the states and went a little off track like the crazy mofo he is and didn't get right to boxing like he should've. I was happy when I heard my stepdad talk to him a few summers ago and told him he was getting back to boxing and was training.

You know, I hear he beat Rigo in Cuba but Rigo was given the win cause he was the more successful and bigger name.

What do you know about Consuegra? We call him Yasmani but Box Rec has him down as Yasnay. He's real close to us as well, same town.

Haha nah i've never heard the Rigo story, i'll ask. Yeah man he's been out the ring for awhile since that whole diuretics incident. He's looking good though, he was sparring Michael Oliveira (who's fighting Acelino Freitas in June) the other day and was giving him the business!!!

And I saw Consuegra KTFO of Ronnie Hale down here like half a year ago. Don't know him personally though
