These Guys need to go pro. I thought the Embargo was lifted.

Wasn't it lifted so they could fight in the WSB, not "professionally?"

Lot of US congress still have the mindset of the 1960s plus senators Cruz and Rubio are self hating Cubans.

I'd vote for Cruz or Rubio if they promised to somehow get the Cuban amateurs to fight professionally here in the states.

I would too. Someone needs to lobby that to them.

Of Course they did they dominated all season at World Series Of Boxing!


Only Robberies is going to keep them from dominating next years Olympics in Brazil

USA is at its lowest point indeed, it is really bad, our guys just not good enough to even compete with the rest of the world.

Julio Cesar De La Cruz is like a Cuban Roy Jones Jr! His Reflexes are unreal, that guy see punches coming before his opponents even think about throwing them

Apparently Baseball players can come over freely though.

The White Sox got the best player in Cuba's system.

As they should if they aren't allowed to earn money for being world class talents. Cuba needs to capitalize on the talent rich athletes they have.

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.

I know. I drafted Soler on one of my teams. BTW, That one stacked team I showed you and some other posters. I won that league.

I am talking about Abreu. Once the Embargo was lifted, he was the most coveted player.
