Good. Get to a promoter, get fights, and get legalized the right way

Hearn claims he's already signed a bunch of big time US amateurs and if he's truly going to build a lasting American stable, he needs good prospects, not just a couple current stars and a bunch of gatekeepers. Hopefully Robeisy can avoid a lot of the problems Cuban prospects seem to have staying active and getting good fights once they are in the pro's

If he stays and trains in Mexico, maybe ...

dont want to create a new thread, because amateur boxing isnt really receiving a lot of attention here.

Julio Cesar de La Cruz, one of cubans top amateur boxers was knocked out against an amateur boxer from the USA, Coe Khalil.

Does anyone know anything about Khalil? Is he a special talent? The Knockout was a premature, but knocking de la cruz down hard is a great feat by itself.

Interesting news.

just read a spanish article saying that Ramirez had planned to defect in Mexico, but no word if it's happened or not.


Anyone hear anything else?

This is the best thread I’ve seen all year

lot of hype in this thread. he'll get found out in the pros just like the other cubans usually do.
