Will Erislandy Savon ever turn pro?

...Pro boxing is illegal in cuba.

Well, fighters who wanted to leave Cuba found a way....the list is Long already.
How old is Savon now? I remeber him fighting at the Olympics and wished he would turn pro since that. But at 91 kg hes more a cruiserweight than a heavyweight. He would Need to put on some solid muscle to compete at heavyweight or a guy like Joshua would run over him.

Not everyone is willing to leave their entire family, friends and way of life to chase the almighty dollar. Many are, but many aren't as well.

He was given a gift in that fight, he lost against Levitt, he was too slow in that fight.

Erislandy won't be a good pro, he's a sucker for the left hook, before he used to compete at heavyweight and got knockdown 3 or 4 times before getting stopped by an azerbeidjani fighter at the worlds all from left hooks I believe.

He's a great talent, great boxing skill. Him getting caught with left hooks in exchanges, his lack of speed at 91 kilos and him getting tired rather quick will be his doom at cruiserweight. Oh I forgot most of the cruisers are pretty bad.

ROniel Iglesias is my favourite fighter on the team and he was robbed of a victory last night against the Kaahkstani fighter, I thought he won 4-1 clearly.

Did Robeisy Ramirez fight in the final? How did he get on?

Edit: NM watching it now

Yes, and hes propably one of these proud cubans who want to represent their country and make castro proud. And thats of course his own decision we have to respect.

Considering who his uncle is, I'd doubt Erislandy Savon would ever turn professional without the normalization of economic relations between the U.S. and Cuba. He's good with natural ability though... He has legendary potential. However, the best pro prospect on that Cuban team right now is Robeisy Ramirez. EVERY fight that he's in, you will get up out of your seat and scream. He's the "uncuban Cuban" per se. I want to root for Roniel Iglesias too (he has a cagey style too), but he doesn't have the most consistent performances. Julio Cesar la Cruz is UNTOUCHABLE tho.

By the way, the finals in the WSB were garbage... Cuba was robbed.

LOL... It's obvious you've never seen Erislandy Savon box, nor do you know his family's legacy. He makes the guy in your sig look like mighty mouse.

never seen him, i was just making a joke about him sharing his name with lara whom i'm not a fan of, and considering he is a HW, yes, he would make lucas and maidana look like mice.
