If you haven’t heard about Guillermo Rigondeaux you might be living under a rock. However hes supposedly the best Cuban Amateur to ever turn professional. For years the best best Cuban Amateur’s have opted too not turn professional because of political reasons. This has caused a lot of speculation as too exactly how well these fighters would have done as professionals. If anybody remembers Knight Dela Barra you know what I’m talking about.
Cuba has had a rich History of Great Amateur Boxers guys like Felix Savon,Mario Kindelán,Teófilo Stevenson are among the few Olympic Boxers too win two Gold Medals in separate Olympics. So there has been plenty of debate about how these guys would fare as professionals.
Me personally I think Savon and Stevenson fought during a time when the Amateur system wasn’t completely different than the Pro System. After 1988 the Olympic Officials changed the way bouts are scored and implemented a point system that’s caused a lot of controversy. I think Guys making the Jump from the Amateur system now are in for a rude awakening because the Pro Game in comparison too the Amateur game is totally different opposed too 1970 when it wasn’t. But for some reason I’m excited about this kid even more than Demetrius Andrade and Deontay Wilder some of our American Pro Prospects. Rigondeaux is said too be the Cream of the Crop and its time too see exactly how good he really is.
@ Aragon thanks for Not Answering My question. You went M.I.A. last Saturday when Eddie Chambers completely embarrassed Alexander Dimitrenko. Funny you had a lot to say about Chambers before the fight…..not so much after Dude your Joke.
@ Aragon Your so quick too call me and Sean G racist and biased but exactly what are you. I think before you start pointing the finger at us you take a look at yourself you exactly like Knight Dela Barra accusing everyone else of racism when you should be looking at yourself. A lest Knight cleaned up his act before he left.
