Starting today, I refuse to recognize vacant strap collecters as actual champions.. until they defend against the #1 contender. Who's with me??
And before nikkas bring up Pacquiao vs Margarito. Im including that fight too.. still a 7 time champ though.. still holds the record

How does that happen tho? You just tell a nikka, "Hey dawg, the Super Championship is vacant, you wanna be the champ?
"

I think that's how Tim got the WBO to be honest
i think that video was a mixed bag of a lot of the boxing hipster stuff thats on youtube. the cuban system is just the soviet system. the soviet union used to send over teams of soviet coaches to communist nations like cuba and china to develop various sports programs. a lot of the instructional textbooks and courses that are used were originally translated from russian. when castro took over and formed the communist party of cuba the soviet union sent over a guy named andrei chervorenko to train cuban boxers.
the cuban/soviet guys like to fight long range. lead hand is partially extended loosely out and is constantly working and disturbing. straight punches. long looping left hook. not a lot of slipping. no inside fighting. tendency to pull back in a straight line. there is a form of in-and-out footwork in the cuban boxing system called el paso pendulo that is called chelnok in russian. its the same move.
that video does not really ever go over the pure cuban/soviet style. i think a lot of the newer guys coming out of that cuban/soviet system, guys like erislandy savon and guys like robeisy ramirez, deviate a lot from the quintessential cuban/soviet style that produced amateur boxing phenoms like vyacheslav lemeshev and teofilo stevenson.

Until he fights a champion or defends against his mandatory nope. Terrence Crawford might be moving up to 147 anyway.
Why don't we see a lot of 'slick' soviet derivative fighters then? Even in the recent times with beterbeast and kkkov most those dudes are stiff as fukk
