holy crap that film is awful i feel bad for the kid when his dad is basicaly saying were lose if u dont fight talk about pressure.

Yes, that Cuban system of training boxers is one of the worst exploitations of young athletes I have ever seen. If we tried it here, we would be thrown in jail for child abuse. And that scumbag Castro does it all to prove the greatness of communism!

They do alot of swimming...LOL

lol ****ed UP.

i heard because they start so young, they work on the basics very slowly, not even learning how to throw a hook or uppercut until the jab, footwork and balance is all perfect.

dont know bout cubans but i remebeer some top russian trainers answer,
these are the main reasons.

1:big sport, big talent poll.
2Hard work from early age, harder than what we westernes would like on a child.
3: very disiplined training, and lots off it. both technical and fyshical.
in other words there are no magic routine ore special tricks.

my coach told me when they shadow box they never stop moving, there feet and there hands.

Their very quiet about it, but didn't Lennox Lexis say something about catching a poisonous snake? Not sure if he was joking or not.

We had a cuban trainer who had been training fighters in cuba for 20 years, let me just say they are very strict and disciplined, we had to get everything 100% right technique wise, it was hes way only, there was no other right way technique wise then hes.. which makes it hard if u wanted to develop your own style.

We used to do this kind of burnout where we would nonstop punch the bag with straights followed by uppercuts, as fast as you can, non stop moving around the bag for 2 minute bursts..

He would come around from 1 person to the other whipping us with a skipping rope on the back or the legs if we were doing anything remotely wrong like not punching fast enough the technique was wrong you wernt moving etc..

He made us do that for 12 rounds, i think i was the only one who didnt get the whip that night as i got it right straight away, all the others seemed to get it right after a couple rounds of getting whipped lol.
