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.

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 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.
