Comments Thread For: Cuba Claims Two Gold Medals as Ramirez Tops Nyambayar

[JakeNDaBox]

By Jake Donovan - Cuba racked up eight medals in the 2008 Beijing Games but failed to place first in any weight class for the first time in two decades.

The boxing powerhouse now has two Gold medals in London after 18-year old Robeisy Ramirez took a 17-14 win over Tugstsogt Nyamybar of Mongolia in Sunday's flyweight finals. [Click Here To Read More]

We need to start a movement to get Robeisy Ramirez out of Cuba. Very skilled and technically sound fighter especially at only 18 years old.

He didn't lose a single round in the whole tournament. Definitely going to keep my eyes open on this one.

The kid is too young man. Unless he has family in the states what is he gonna do here by himself? I don't see him defecting. The change from Cuba to here is tremendous. Ive known people who were dying to leave and once they did and got here the stress and depression was too much. Some eventually went back the others pulled it thru and stayed.

Yeah it sucks that you can't box professionally in Cuba. This kid looks like he can have a promising pro career if given the opportunity

not what it used to be but not bad for having a bunch of sub 22 year old kids competing for the first time in an olimpic event

We would have so much talent in the states if more Cubans defected.
