    Wonderful breakdown. Not all Cuban boxers are outside fighters, some are more aggressive, but one thing for certain is there is always a dance or a flow to their movements.

    Very precise... the more you delve into Cuban Boxing the more you realise that there is no "Cuban Style" but simply "Cuban Technique" and the style we see in most of the Cuban boxers who fight internationally is the "strategy" of moving the feet against other international boxers who have not excelled in footwork. Inside Cuba you will see "Pro style knockout artists" and "Point-scoring fleet footed boxers"

    Aesthetically the most beautiful style in boxing! Fun fact: Sugar Ray Robinson got his footwork from watching Eligio Sardinas, or also known as Kid Chocolate, who was Cuban. Interesting to see that style influence the perhaps greatest boxer ever!

    The great Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez noted that dance was more deeply embedded in Cuban culture than any country he had visited. When I visited the country in 2001 I saw that first hand: their sense of movement is immediately noticeable. Even the plainest of Cubans can come to life when they move and you have explained that very well. I look forward to watching more Cuban fighters from now on.

      I think there is something to it, sense of rhythm, fluid footwork, ability to move freely. Heard bunch of coaches claiming dancers make good boxers. And although not Cuban, Lomachenko's dad made him take dancing lessons before he allowed him to come back to boxing.

      cuban boxers are usually avoided, so they are never given the opportunity.
      For example, Erislandy Lara was avoided by both Charlos, Andrade, Mayweather and even GGG
      Regardless of who people think won, Canelo deserves lots of respect for fighting Lara when everyone else chose to avoid him.

      Yep. Cuban style incorporates a good amount of foot movement but when the legs go they get stopped or look ultra vulnerable. The style isn't suited for any sort of inside fighting at all but they are nice on an amateur level though.

    Great video once again! Seeing Canelo miss so many punches is unusual, Cuban boxing style is definitely scary. I though the elusive footwork of Cuban boxers might make them weaker punchers but they are so accurate with their fists that they probably don't even need that much strength to KO their opponents. As a non-boxer I find myself asking: how difficult it is to a European boxer to add this "sugar" to his boxing style? It is even possible? Maybe a long stay in Cuba would do the job, lol.

    • @edgarguinartlopez8341
      @edgarguinartlopez8341 4 дні тому

      First, the transition of body strength to the fist in Cuban boxers is less noticeable because their fluidity and speed, but it is there... And precision comes with this elasticity, you cannot hit well if you are unbalanced... And yes, you can learn to be a dancer, it is all about purpose... Maybe you will not achieve the level of perfection of a Cuban dancer, but for sure you can learn, and then you will notice the improvement :)
