Thanks. Reality bites sometimes.
We’ll never know how some of those athletes would’ve done. They never got a chance. It goes on to this day with the Cubans.Comment

Yeah, it sucks. Argilagos is a tiny kid. I feel bad for him. No one will care to watch him fight.I think Joahnys Argilagos defected recently, so he should be a force to reckon with when he turns up in the pros. Maybe too small for most people to care though. Cruiserweight Frank Sanchez defected a while ago too. He was slated to debut last year but I can't find any info on whether it actually happened
These Cuban defectors have a hard road. It’s difficult enough to pursue a boxing career, but these guys have it especially bad. The cream of the crop have eager promoters ready to sign them (and possibly take advantage of them), but the lesser talents have to find a way to put food in their stomachs and a roof over their heads first. They’re not offered the benefits of their more talented brethren.Comment
