If Mexicans didn't turn pro at 15 I think they'd rule Olympic Boxing.

Amateur boxing is slap fighting...I don't know of many Mexican fighters who would be great at that.

Girls are great at slapping, you should give it a go Lyle, you'd be a natural

Please English members of Saddos in this situation would it be more correct of me to call Greenbeanz a "Plonker" or a "Wanker"? I do need assistance in choosing between the two.

A C**T is the most appropriate

I think Mexican fighters their traditional style is better suited for the pros. That's because we know some great mexican fighters like Chavez would rather take 2-3 punches to land one power punch. But then we have the non traditional fighters like Finito lopez and JMM they would be great like you said if they would actually turn pro after their teens. I wish they would focus more on their amateur program but I can understand most of them are in dire need of money which is another reason mexicans fight with that warrior spirit because for a lot of them it's their only means of putting food on the table.. My 2 cents :P

Just to follow up on this thread, I thought Valdez looked the most exciting prospect I've seen from a professional perspective.
There was a Filipino, Bariega (spelling?) also looked exciting, in defeat to his Kazakh opponent.
Were I a boxing promoter the left hook vs. Nevin would have had me sold on Valdez.




Oh and also... The Irish guy won
