This is a dream boxing. The great culmination of American classic and modern boxing in Floyd vs the blazingly good footwork, accuracy, and slippery Cuban boxing that has since diverged a lot from the American style of boxing. To me, THIS is one of Floyd's toughest challenges and many won't know about it since it's his amateur career. Guys, I think you're looking at gold, vintage footage here that most wouldn't be blessed to see. Let's bask in the glory of boxing here.
@@andreiacacio2010 They're all converted to southpaw for one, whether or not they use the style. A lot of them (like the Barthelemy Brothers) also rely on a weirdly arcing bolo punch that goes back to the days of Kid Chocolate. Because amateur and Olympic boxing was the only kind allowed there for a long time, they usually don't put the emphasis on KOs and a "fan friendly" style although some of the heavyweights can be fan-friendly, and the smaller fighters are capable of putting on classics if their opponent comes out aggressive.
@@andreiacacio2010 Start by noticing they almost always jockey for outside position with their lead foot, to line up the jab. Like Lomachenko they're "foot first" fighters who constantly struggle for the outside.
Lo menos que se figuraba Aragón un humilde boxeador amateur cubano y si hoy está vivo quizás lo reconozca que en esos momentos estaba peleando con quien a la postre ha sido uno de los mejores boxeadores que ha pasado por el boxeo profesional aunque a muchos le cueste reconocer
Aragón con otros cubanos muy buenos nunca se fue del país tiene récord en Cuba de ser campeón en nueve divisiones distintas fue sub campeón olímpico y campeón mundial en esa oportunidad no estaba entrenando al equipo Cuba el que fue era casamayor y se quedó fue llamado Lorenzo al final el americano fue plata..creo el cubano ganó la pelea
Porqué usted no sabe quién era aragón nunca salió de Cuba pero los grandes campeones mundiales olímpicos cubanos y internacionales decían que era el más difícil sucede más nunca se vio con el americano porque este decidió saltar al profesionalismo ahora mismo desde hace varios años están llegando cubanos y no han lucido tan mal y viejos y todo..
Aragón fue un legendario boxeador cubano que no quiso saltar como otros muchos al profesionalismo ahí no estaba en forma tiene récord en cuba es campeón en muchas divisiones le ganaba a todo el mundo fue después campeón mundial y sub campeón olímpico no era muy disciplinado se retiró a los 33 años por ser amateurs un gran boxeador que de ser profesional hay Floyd
@@AM93D the difference of the amount of rounds , the length of these , you fight with protection, and the cuban boxing is a boxing of punching and evading , not the savagery that the mexican are looking for of both throwing punches like crazy, cuban boxing despite being so beautiful, dont sell
@@Duran420 Actually both of you guys are not correct. Almost no Cubans go pro and the ones that do do great but they age out, move up or they had weak chins. All of the ones in recent memory were good fighters. They still dominate your favorite fighters on the biggest state every 4 years( or Pan American and other events) and have guys like Oscar Valdez, Shakur Stevenson, Keyshawn David taking Ls.
El mayor rival de Lorenzo Aragón, fue sin dudas Alcides Sagarra. Le ganaba a todos en Cuba y pocas veces represento al equipo en eventos importantes. Al final de su carrera Servelio le dio nuevos aires . En los pocos eventos internacionales fue un vencedor.
Exactamente. Alcides tenía esa gran problema, cuando a un boxeador le ponía la cruz ya estaba. Espinosa siempre fue mi favorito pero creo que tampoco se llevaron del todo bien, alcides le ponía los huesos mas duros para que lo machacaran
Aragon fue sin entrenamiento el que iba en ese peso fue casamayor quien desertó y por el fue Lorenzo que ganó esa pelea no hay que estar ciegos los jueces no tocaron el botón en muchas veces y todo lo que tiro el americano si lo apretaron
The cuban won the fight , it was an awakening for Floyd .... too much skill ... as soon as the fight stopped and he was granted the decision he went into the pro game and started choosing his opponents .
I think that Floyd did well, but L. Aragon did better,... in first rounds i just urge u guys to watch the fight again and analyze the points,.. example minute 4:32 : as u can see the fight IS NOT 5 - 4, as the screen shows, Aragon had landed more punches than he was scored for, that's obvious, .... i mean Floyd did well, but not better....
De doce combates en contra de Cuba contra Estados Unidos siempre Cuba gana ocho de dice el gringo que le gana a un cubano se convierte en un ser excepcional en el boxeo profesional
@ddflannel you 100% right my man. ppl hate floyd so automatically think he sucks. you know whats funny. ppl hated ali in the 60's too. nobody likes trash talkers but we all cant be born the same. im the opposite of floyd. i dont talk trash at all but if thats who floyd is than thats who he is. you know how boring this world would be if everybody was the same.
Andres de Villanueva ¿Y por qué no escapó nunca Aragón? Ni muchos más han escapado. Los únicos que se suben a las balsas son los ignorantes que van a trabajar de roofers a USA.
@luilun i know it sounds so easy to beat him. all he does is defense and pop shot. but chico, castillo, promising ndou, gatti, judah, oscar, hatton, and shane couldnt beat him. theres more to floyd than defense and pop shotting.
Les digo Aragón es uno de los mejores boxeadores de Cuba d inteligentes no tiene gran currículo porque el primer entrenador de Cuba tenía rollos con el es el único campeón en varias funciones de Cuba a todos mayorío incluidos Lara Kindelán Carrión Arnaldo mesa julio Gonzáles entre otros todos decían y dicen el mejor estaba y no estaba a esa olimpiada fue sin entrenar porque a última hora deserto Joel Casamayor tuvo la oportunidad de ser campeón olímpico y fue sub campeón con los hombros destrozados si fue campeón mundial amateur un boxeador que se confió mucho en el y no tuvo es momento la oportunidad idónea
in this fight, the Cuban Aragon did it clearly better, there were a lot of punches that the judges didn't count for Aragon, ,,, a lot !,... also in the last three rounds, the cuban was clearly better... In Atlanta '96 MAyweather was also defeated by the Armenian Arthur Gevorgyan,.... he won thanks to the judges..
Lástima este cubano tampoco quiso saltar a ser profesional en Cuba no fue bien tratado aquí fue sin ninguna preparación a las olimpiadas pues Yoel Casamayor fue el que iba representar ese peso y desertó este cubano Aragón fue el papá de todos los boxeadores cubanos buenos de Cuba al ganarles a todos y ser campeón en nueve divisiones distintas..

KhalifaIV Cuba has blacks to as well as whites. Remember Latino is not a race although black Cubans dominate boxing in Cuba because just like in the USA blacks in Cuba use sports as a way to get out of poverty.
@american1great Can Floyd box? Sure. Can he punch? So-so. Does he sell out crowds? Sure. Is he a warrior? Nope. I wanna see Floyd fight Pacquiao and put all doubts to rest. I like the Mexican style of non-stop punching and dramatic tempos of guys like Julio Ceasar Chavez, Salvador Sanchez, Carlos Zarate, Marquez, Barrera, Alphonso Remora, Ricardo Lopez and the Nicaraguan fighter Alexis Arguello to name a few. None of these champions ever ran from anyone in the ring.
When your a boxer who wants to trade blows that’s a no no.. Stick and move hit don’t get hit.. Boxers that trade punches they are equal the best dominate..Not healthy not smart to keep getting hit..Humans aren’t made to get hit upside the head...FACT.
@@chrisslaughter5552 boxing is a contact sport. I take it you've never thrown any punches or boxed a round in your life. Crowds come to see fights, not watch two guys play a cagey defensive fight. Fighters should fight. As soon as floyd gets hit he runs. He knows he don't have a chin that's why he ain't man enough to bang it out.
@@Metatron141 yes you’re right from a fan perspective..But as a fighter that ain’t the goal.. I do know the difference and I know exactly what you like a fight a brawl a beat down a war but that ain’t what a fighter wants unless he can’t out box the man.. The bull and the bullfighter I’m with you but..Get some Gatti and Ward Or checkout Foreman vs Lyle or Hagler Hearns.. That’s what you want..
@@chrisslaughter5552 I fought 49 amateur fights in the late 80s and in the 90s. I fought on the Canadian junior B team. I wasn't the greatest fighter but I tried to entertain the crowd and yes...I got dropped more than once but got back up and tried to take the fight to my opponent. Funny you mentioned Gatti, I got to see him fight in Hull Quebec 1990. I was there representing British Columbia. My first nationals. Gatti got gold. I brawled with a good fighter from P.E.I. and lost. But I took alot of chances in the amateurs. Some worked. Some didn't.
@american1great I'm not a huge fan of Flyod's style cause he runs whenever he gets tagged by a decent fighter. I like fighters who come to fight and stand in the center and go toe to toe. Look at all of Flyod's fights with cats like Dela Hoya, Mosley, and Marquez. He ran as soon as he got tagged. I'd like to see him fight Pacquiao and go toe to toe, then I'll have more respect for the man.
Dude Floyd is quick Therefore he uses that to defend himself. Why would he stand there toe to toe taking punches. Stick and move that's what speedy fighters do.
@@eb9172 to each his own I guess. Yup, he is quick and he does have power I'll give him that but to me it's just more entertaining to see 2 fighters going toe to toe. I'm not Mexican but I like the Mexican style.
@@Metatron141 hell you can watch 2 Mexicans box every week on Telemundo. They just stand there like statues. Just saying when they fight each other it ain't the most entertaining.
Ese cubano no se preparó bien no iba a esa olimpiada porque fue Yoel casamayor y se quedó este boxeador le ganaba a los buenos en cuba lo ganó todo por todas las divisiones que pasó ahí le ganó al americano y le quitaron esa pelea si se hubiese ido al profesionalismo fuese un dolor de cabeza
@yossuedcuba ok that "are you blind????" line was pretty corny you gotta admit. but why in the world are you talking to me? i never said anything about this fight in my comment. are you sure you're talking to the right person?
***** I know they don't i never said that means Floyd is much better than Lara but if you lose to someone 4 times and somebody else cruises throw them that shows that they are on another level
***** i never used amateur boxing as proof. Lara only has good feet thats it is offence is no where as good enough to beat floyd and what has lara's size go to do withit. man u seen floyd get hit by Canelo who is bigger and stronger than Lara so please don't even try to say Lara will hurt Floyd.
The Richkid I've just read your argument and it is based on triangle theories, amateur fights and no understand of the fact that styles make fights. With Lara only having 2 losses, one of which was a robbery (Williams) and another of which was seen as highly controversial (Canelo) Lara is a tough fight for anyone at 154. He wouldn't knock Floyd out no, but he is an extremely good boxer so it would be an exciting chess match. Tell me what slick boxer with speed and a good jab has Floyd ever faced with a reach like Laras? You seem to lack knowledge of the styles Floyd struggles against and who he doesn't. Canelo is a come forward brawler, so Floyd can outbox him in the middle of the ring with his superior boxing and reflexes. Lara is the complete opposite.
Mayweather cant complain here.... The refs were very nice to him.... R2 2:27 1 punch 2 points.... Doesnt get better than that. Eventually he "won" by 12-11....
@BTC141 you call it running when all he is doing is milling around the ring so his oppo can't set themselves to punch, it's called using your brain.... why should mayweather be suckered in to brawl these bigger stronger guys??? when he can out box them. all for entertainment purposes? for the fans who wont give a damn about him when he can't walk or talk properly? If you truly understood the sport you would appreciate what Mayweather does in the ring instead of criticising his skill
ee hay a nuestros boxeadores peleando al tu por tu con uno de los mejores del mundo y ademas mas millonarios ,del carajo la mierda q nos ha hecho el sistema mierdero ese
Floyd fought more like a Pro and the Cuban fought more like an Amateur just moving around landing single shots for points... If this was scored with the new amateur system which is totally different Floyd would have won easily... Lol
that's just a silly argument to try and make (floyd in the pros mostly moved and landed single shots for points) be a boxing fan not a boxer fan were all grown ups here
@ddflannel Learn about the sport first. Chavez body punching is what did dooms day for Taylors legs. Taylor piss blood for 3 days. Mayweather throws no body punches he pot shots. Taylor would have beaten any fighter Mayweather has beaten today. That 1984 class of Taylor Whitaker Holyfield were one of boxing best in any era.
@ddflannel I teach everything from being a slugger,boxer and defense. all Floyd does is defense and one pot shot at a time. Basically I just don't like the guy he's to arrogant
@ddflannel Look I had 100 amatuer bouts from 1978 to 1982 when I was young. I don't like watching Mayweather fights cause he puts me to sleep better than Ambien. I've train kids My nephew and most blacks don't know how to body punch unless their taught by Mexicans or white guys. I have fix body punching on many black kids here in California. Before you bring up Mosley and his dad, his dad didn't teach him body punching. Tony Cerda ran the pomona gym and was head trainer. He had World champs
Tf kind of logic is that. Its all about old skool and new school training .. Floyd was taught by a black man and Canelo tries to copy his every move except he less athletic .. And what whites in this generation or body punchers?

No points for mayweather in the first 2 minutes …… love that scoring -_-
Scoring was ass and bias he landed like 10 punches lol
wht split in 2 videos? it is only 3 rounds ..
This is probably the reason why Mayweather never fought a Casamayor on his early years in the pro
A who
U do you realize this happened when he was 19? Right competing at that level is impressive.
que bueno ese cubano
Cuban Boxing Is #1
Cuban Pros fighting U.S Amateurs But Our Pros make The Cubans Amateurs
knock down does not score points?
Floyd hit him 3 times at least before he even got a point counted!
Matthew Stephens right
I was thinking the same thing. They either cheated him out of 2 points on that part or did not see it.
One of them was pretty flush too
Y al cubano cuántos le anularon ganó el cubano ..crimen
Nothing but Americans In here hating on Floyd lmfao
Right this started getting money to this day
does anyone else notice floyd didn't use the shoulder roll as an amatuer
actually he does just not as prominent with it
He doesn’t fully use the shoulder roll until the late 2000s
was that a knockdown on Floyd? or was it a slip
2021 anyone?
now he fights like the Cuban
Floyd down round 2 short right hand!!
I’ve never seen Mayweather moving forward so much
Then obviously, u never heard of prettyboy floyd
mayweather vs judah ... floyd walked him down the whole fight
Whoa that Cuban was a beast,Floyd.....not so much
America beat cuba😎😎😎😎🇺🇸
@bryan solano first American fighter to beat a Cuban fighter in the olympics in over 20 years :)
The cuban won the fight , it was an awakening for Floyd .... too much skill ... as soon as the fight stopped and he was granted the decision he went into the pro game and started choosing his opponents .
So Floyd came into boxing choosing his opponents lmfao tf up idiot
Ur definitely an NPC
that was a clear right hook, knock down it did not count come on
Mayweather 1.68 meters tall…5”6! He was 19 so how much more did he grow? I knew he was never the billed 5”8 he was billed as a pro!
Not much. Ive seen him in person… hes quiet smalll. im only 5’8 and im def taller. Hes a weak 5’7 at best.

The Richkid I've just read your argument and it is based on triangle theories, amateur fights and no understand of the fact that styles make fights. With Lara only having 2 losses, one of which was a robbery (Williams) and another of which was seen as highly controversial (Canelo) Lara is a tough fight for anyone at 154. He wouldn't knock Floyd out no, but he is an extremely good boxer so it would be an exciting chess match. Tell me what slick boxer with speed and a good jab has Floyd ever faced with a reach like Laras? You seem to lack knowledge of the styles Floyd struggles against and who he doesn't. Canelo is a come forward brawler, so Floyd can outbox him in the middle of the ring with his superior boxing and reflexes. Lara is the complete opposite.
1984 Meldrick taylor would have beat the crap out of Mayweather
Olympic style point system would have Floyd losing this fight
How can you please explain ?
In English or at least Spanish since he is fighting a Cuban, not some gibberish language.
Gano el cubano
Amuter boxing is not fair
Mayweather cant complain here.... The refs were very nice to him.... R2 2:27 1 punch 2 points.... Doesnt get better than that. Eventually he "won" by 12-11....
First 2 mins his punches weren't counted so it kinda makes up for it
Le gano el cubano de largo descaro
Mayweather have 17 no 19
It is clear that he copied the fight against the Cuban
mayweathers counter hook dominated
BS
Mayweather got his ass kicked
@BTC141 you call it running when all he is doing is milling around the ring so his oppo can't set themselves to punch, it's called using your brain.... why should mayweather be suckered in to brawl these bigger stronger guys??? when he can out box them. all for entertainment purposes? for the fans who wont give a damn about him when he can't walk or talk properly? If you truly understood the sport you would appreciate what Mayweather does in the ring instead of criticising his skill
@BTC141,
It's not our fault we're the best! STOP HATING!
ee hay a nuestros boxeadores peleando al tu por tu con uno de los mejores del mundo y ademas mas millonarios ,del carajo la mierda q nos ha hecho el sistema mierdero ese
Floyd fought more like a Pro and the Cuban fought more like an Amateur just moving around landing single shots for points... If this was scored with the new amateur system which is totally different Floyd would have won easily... Lol
Floyd is the best
Unfortunately cubans cant be pros... Unless they move to America. This was an amateur game in 1996, so it was totally the cuban that deserved to win
that's just a silly argument to try and make (floyd in the pros mostly moved and landed single shots for points) be a boxing fan not a boxer fan were all grown ups here

@ddflannel
Learn about the sport first. Chavez body punching is what did dooms day for Taylors legs. Taylor piss blood for 3 days. Mayweather throws no body punches he pot shots. Taylor would have beaten any fighter Mayweather has beaten today. That 1984 class of Taylor Whitaker Holyfield were one of boxing best in any era.
Cuba fighter's were older than most amateur fighters Because in the free world you could turn pro
Little do y’all know Floyd is fighting a seasoned Pro here..Who gets gifts for winning..Get treated like $h!/ if he loses..Fact
@NOrtHPhiLAdeLphINest mayweather is trash??
In the mns 6:36 the referi no caut the knack down,they give this to floy..and he knows.lol
After that he un like chicken american deeam
floyd hit the guy like 20 times before he got 1 point....lol.
@ddflannel I teach everything from being a slugger,boxer and defense. all Floyd does is defense and one pot shot at a time. Basically I just don't like the guy he's to arrogant
How do u feel now
Floy desde sus inicios siempre fue un cerdito peleando.
@ddflannel
Look I had 100 amatuer bouts from 1978 to 1982 when I was young. I don't like watching Mayweather fights cause he puts me to sleep better than Ambien. I've train kids My nephew and most blacks don't know how to body punch unless their taught by Mexicans or white guys. I have fix body punching on many black kids here in California. Before you bring up Mosley and his dad, his dad didn't teach him body punching. Tony Cerda ran the pomona gym and was head trainer. He had World champs
Tf kind of logic is that. Its all about old skool and new school training .. Floyd was taught by a black man and Canelo tries to copy his every move except he less athletic .. And what whites in this generation or body punchers?
@yossuedcuba this is a real cuban.. chek the first round, they are exacly 5 punches that didnt count for mayweather xD
Americanski hahaha!!@
