who you got Levit v savon bro ?

Giyasov a massive underdog too? bit weird?

I am going with Levit. In my opinion Levit beat him in the WSB but didn't get the decision. And Levit has looked better in this tournament so far.
It's going to be a close fight though.

Giyasov is the underdog because he's going against a much more experienced Cuban.
Giyasov will show if he's the real deal or not against Iglesias. Time to prove himself.

Vargas has to go against Zoirov now. I don't think he's beating Zoirov.
Zoirov was really impressive in his first fight.

If Vargas pulls it off then....

I think Finol can be trouble for Muhammad Ali (British boxer). Ali is a little to slow.

Yuberjen Martinez fought Finol to a close fight.
I also remember watching Martinez vs. de los Santos and thinking Martinez won at the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games. That fight was almost two years ago (happened in November) and I haven't watched it since it happened live.
But just shows how talented Martinez is.

This is taken out of context

I don't think so. No, this was not taken out of context because you literally said "he never went to the Soviet Union", but that's not truth (as we know) and that's why I gave you the correct information.

+ plus he has NOT

gone there during tournaments and possibly training camps

but he has gone there, because:

se graduó (he graduated) en el Instituto Superior de Cultura Física de Kiev, (Higher Institute of Physical Culture and Sport, Kiev, USSR) entonces Unión Soviética.

he learned a lot of things there and improved his skills.
...and I think that the bottom line is that:

...three Olympic gold medals, three world championships and a hoard of other accomplishments, Teofilo Stevenson was perhaps the greatest amateur boxer of all time, and he himself says he owes his success to Chervenenko and the system he taught him. When the interviewer makes the suggestion that the Cuban boxers didn't take much from the Soviet school of thought, Stevenson offers a rebuttal,

"I disagree. Yes, Cuba always had the potential, but before soviets there was no scientific system of training elite fighters here."

I think the case is closed. That's a really great statement from Teofilo. Cuba always had the potential, but before soviets there was no scientific system of training elite fighters here.

Of course there are differences, but cuban and soviet schools are pretty close... closer than people may think.

Asenov has a very good defence.

Who graduated from Kiev is another boxing coach, read the article again.

I thought Martinez won the first 2 rounds

No way. Argentinians are front runners, push the pace on them and they fall off.

I can't understand. Are you trying to ignore the facts? Read my posts again. From the first.
I was talking about Alcides Sagarra' biography.
