Unexpected/strange amateur fights and wins..

Why is that strange? Kindelan is one of the GOAT Cuban amateurs ?

what's strange is he lost to a 17 year old Amir khan.

Who he beat twice, he lost to Khan after being a year away from boxing and returned back only to get a payday against Khan who was a extremely good amateur, beat the european champion at the olympics and was the only boxer in the games that scored two stoppages during the 2004 games, so is not like Khan was your average 17 year old, he was literally the second best lightweight in the world during that time.

Word, i knew he was at the end of his career, but didnt know he was not boxing for 1 year lol. that was pretty huge over here at the time, remember watching it on primetime free TV as a kid.

Oh, forgot to mention Buster Mathis beating Joe Frazier.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. lost an Olympic trials match to Augie Sanchez. Sanchez had a mini Hagler-Hearns-Lite with Naseem Hamed, then fell apart and was out of the sport on a stretcher in a few years. I believe Sanchez is training fighters in Nevada now.
