      3-0 easy for Savon but so Awkward from Paralta who looked as if he just wanted to survive without looking too bad

          Yeah I think so too, I think Levit took rounds 1, 2 and 5.

            Erislandy Savon is my favorite from the Cuban team, but I hope he doesn't sleep on Vassily Levit... Levit goes hard AF, and Savon can get touched... I still remember when Savon got lumped up by Frank Sanchez in Cuba last year at the Cuban national championship. Frank Sanchez just defected about a week or two ago too.

                Yep, I thought Arlen Lopez lost in the final and of course Veitia against Frank Zaldivar. Frank just gave him the business too bad Frank is a hot head and not a favourite with the Cuban coaches.

                  But you gotta admit that Lopez came a long way! I remember when he was getting beat by Ramon Luis Nicolas at nationals! Yosvani Veitia has brilliant footwork, but he can get into the habit of overdefending himself. That can be a double edged sword with Sanchez too in the pro ranks. But that boy can hit!

                    Azerbaijan not doing as well as expected for me, I've been disappointed with a few of our guys. Still backing Selimov and Elvin to come home with GOLD tho

                      Arlen Lopez has come along way indeed. At middleweight the second best puncher is Arlen right after GGG regardless if he fights amateurs. He had 4 knockouts out of 4 fights under WSB this year.

                      Arlen Lopez is the biggest improvement in Cuban boxing. He started I believe at 60 kilos, went to 64, then 69 and finally 75 where he found his mark. Now he's the best switch-hitter in the game. People thought Dirrell was an amazing switch-hitter. Arlen switches with purpose especially when he is cutting the ring off.
