Yes. I love the Cuban school of boxing. Some of my favorite boxers are from Cuba. Of course, Cuban boxing is based on Soviet boxing. However, the Cubans have added a few different aspects or kind of made their own style. I suppose they have become experts in amateur boxing.

Very weird comment, considering Robisey Ramirez just blasted Nova almost out of the ring.

Lara''s fights have gotten much better. Gamboa had plenty of action fights, so has Luis Ortiz. David Morrell is always looking for a KO.

Yes. Exactly. Rigondeaux was a devastating puncher and had plenty of stoppages. So I don't get these comments.

In the professional ranks? Cuba was definitely better in the amateurs after the 1960s revolution, but that's largely due to the effort made. We also don't know how many would have done in the pros since we only have those who defected. But that's probably true when looking at the best Cuban boxers.
