Originally posted by Big Rigg View PostI had to work back when the Yankees hosted the all star festivities so I missed hamiltons performance all together. Just saw highlights on sports center. This though made up for it. Cespedes made citi field look little. The last shot he hit was amazing to end the derby. Straight away center and just threw the bat like what!!!! Crazy swag bro.....
Cespedes was unreal. The home run derby is all about stamina. I was afraid Yoenis would be burnt by the next round. He just kept hitting bomb after bomb. People are still talking about the bat-flip. lol
Originally posted by Big Rigg View PostI remember seeing all the Cubans for the first time during the first WBC. Them boys impressed me. I love baseball and I feel so bad for the Cubans man. That communist **** is wack. So much talent stuck over there. Cepeda, Gourriel those guys would have been stars in the MLB. Smh
Originally posted by Big Rigg View PostFernandez' story on how he got here to the states almost made me cry. It's crazy stuff when u really think about it. He's gonna be great and Chapman is unbelievable. 103??? You gotta be kidding. That's not even fair. And he's a lefty too.
Chapman is holding up. I was afraid he might derail himself in his second year. Aroldis could be one of the great closers. That raw talent, combined with maturity, will make him even more difficult to hit. Scary. Now that "Mo's" retiring, don't be surprised to see the Yanks aggressively pursue Chapman in the future. An ace Cuban closer on the Yankees might be too much for me to take. lol
Originally posted by Big Rigg View PostPuig should have been there aswell. He's a phenom. I didn't buy into his hype til I saw him live in the Bronx for the double header we played against LA. That dude is fast as hell. Caught Gardner sleeping and turned a single into a double. The crazy part is the dude is huge!!! 6'3 230+ running like a young jimmy rollins. He's gonna be special.
Originally posted by Big Rigg View PostAnd if Canelo can ****ing do it on sept 14th, he's gonna be a once in a life time type of athlete. Might sound a bit crazy but I'm so serious. Canelo has something about him that draws the casuals. The girls love him and to dethrone Mayweather would make him the ultimate celebrity fighter.Last edited by CubanGuyNYC; 07-17-2013, 02:45 PM.

What he meant was pretty evident and correspondingly asinine but inherently consistent with the majority of attitudes and bias held here by many on NSB.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostPuerto Rico has had some great champions that would've been great no matter what Cubans were there to fight them. The same goes for some Mexicans, and others. What would've happened, in my opinion, is that a few Cubans would've taken over a few belts. We would've taken our rightful place among the boxing powers. A few champions from a few other countries would've lost their place. That's all. The ATGs weren't going anywhere. The biggest question in my mind is: What potential Cuban ATGs never got their chance? It's a sad thought.
The guy who said that to me was an old white boxing fan he was really high on cuban boxing.
Cubans would probably dominate because if they were allowed to go pro there would be so many boxing.
Boxing and Baseball would be their key out of the barrio, just like Dominicans love baseball it is the key to riches.
Cubans would probably over-saturate boxing lol thats how many Cubans would be boxing if they were allowed to go pro if you think Mexico has a lot of boxers now imagine Cuba?Last edited by hectari; 07-17-2013, 08:13 PM.

On a similar note, we always think of guys like Stevenson when we consider the Cuban boxers that never went pro. Yet, there might've been several Cuban men we never heard of in the last 50 years that could've been champions. Many of the greatest pro fighters didn't have much of an amateur career, if any.
