Future champion no doubt, had a very impressive ko in his last fight. I cant wait to see him against better opposition like Oscar Valdez down the road.

Wooooow...they are really promoting this kid...big time. It was straight out of the gate, too. Felix had a couple of Olympic fights, didn't even medal, and they've been promoting the hell out of him ever since. Good for him -- lol -- but that's a lot of pressure for a young kid. They're setting him up as the next PR star. You can't just manufacture that. Or can you?

Question is, why hasn't Arum don this for the Cubans (Yuri and Rigo) down in Miami? They could have done something like this around the time of the Calle 8 festivals to promote them. Anyways, smart move on their part though to start building up his fan base in NYC especially the Bronx.

Cubans don't support boxing or boxers like Puerto Ricans do. So I can see
why a Cuban would be outright jealous of all the publicity of an un medaled Puerto Rican Olympic boxer is getting straight out the gate.. WOW
