That's an interesting thought about the cubans and it had never crossed my mind. They would probably produce plenty of good if not great fighters for our enjoyment if not for the political status of their country. I think though that if they allowed to travel freely for sporting reasons, they would have an adjustment period because so many of them are suited for the amateur style and are used to just trying to rack up points.
