Should the Cuban Boxing School be closed or is this a temporary setback??

[killakali]

Not a good two weeks for Cuban boxing. First Gamboa gets ktfo then Yordenis salinas loses his 0 and gets ktfo brutally and finally Lara runs and refused to throw punches. On the bright side for Los Cubanos Barthemey picked up a belt and Dorticos stayed undefeated but honestly Dorticos doesn't fight that Cuba. Style.

So is this a blip or a sign of things to come??

Rigo is still doing fine, doe. You forgot him.

Considering Rigo might be the best fighter in the world, I think Cuban fighters are doing fine. Guys lose sometimes, it doesn't invalidate everything about their style. Especially when they arguably won, like Lara.

I mentioned recent fights. Rigo hadn't fought in 7. But I agree he should win his easy

I don't think Lara came close to winning. Didn't throw enough punches and took too many bodyshots. Did you see the Salinas fight? He got ko'd worse Than Gamboa by a Mexican dude who was 15-7 losing his 0 in the process.

Rigo and Rances seem to be doing fine tho.

So you did. A sign of things to come though? Maybe. It's certainly a sign that we most likely won't be seeing too many Cubans on PPV for a while.

The Cuban school is fine, and this is hardly a setback.

BUT I hope these losses make people understand that Cuban fighters are not the demi-gods they are often made out to be, and that Gamboa and Lara aren't anywhere close to Rigo's level.

If you don't think Lara came close to winning then maybe you should watch again.

Boxing is not a team sport.

It was a Cuban or his brother at least that beat Lacy in two the other day
