Yep! The Domadores showed out in Doha! But a lot of those fights the Cubans lost were out of being robbed... Roniel Iglesias, Yasnier Toledo, and Erislandy were robbed like crazy in Doha from what I hearing.

Here's Yasniel's robbery. He was beating the crap out of that Russian dude all over the ring!

There's no way Toledo got robbed. Posting the video doesn't help your case, especially since you said Toledo was "beating him up". Does anyone see the supposed beating this guy is talking about?
Dunaytsev made Toledo walk into his shots. Duanytsev connected more and connected the better shots. Don't see how he lost. Even if you thought Toledo somehow won, it's not a robbery or do you know what a robbery is? I'll give you a hint, This wasn't.

How old were the opponents? Like 15?

The Ruskies vs Cubans have been the biggest Amateur rivalry since forever, good to see they are still at it. Even though now the "Ruskies" include a bunch of countries that you can't sleep on since the Soviet Union collapsed... y'all know who you are .

Lazaro Alvarez and Julio César La Cruz have now won 3 Gold Medals in a row at the World Amateur Championships. Only a few boxers in amateur boxing history have done it (a few Cubans and Shiming). This is an amazing achievement, and Alvarez is only 24.

Both are currently head and shoulders above anyone else in their respective divisions, and probably the most dominant boxers P4P. I hope Alvarez turns pro after the 2016 Olympic Games.

la cruz at lhw would be damn interesting

I think MLB teams will have to pay the Cuban clubs the players are already signed to and then sign the player to an individual contract. Similar to how the MLB teams pay the Japanese clubs a fee to bring over those guys. MLB will basically be paying the government cuz they run the teams in Cuba. And u talking about Abreu Brush??? You gotta see Jorge Soler from the Chicago Cubs. Dude is a beast!! Rocks the big boy Cuban too during the games like he's in the club.

Yep, my boy Jorge is a monster. Hopefully he can stay healthy for a full season, I'd love for him to get a full season of AB's

So? Kazakhs did the prior one, Ukraine the one before that, Russia the one before that ..

They didn't dominate anyway, they topped the table! Dominate suggests swept the board.. They won 4 out of the 10 Golds.
