Post by caboxingfan21 »

multiple national champion Ronny Rios has now turned pro and signed a managerial contract with Frank Espinoza of the Espinoza Boxing Club. I wish Ronny good luck and I am excited to see him develop into a successful professional!!!

He is young so I hope they allow him to develop and don't rush him.

I agree, but I believe he will be moved at an appropriate pace, allowing his body to mature. He did extraordinary things in the amateurs against older and more developed fighters, so it will be interesting to see him develop as a professional.

He was probably one of the most improved boxers I've seen who only had three years of boxing when he qualified for the Olympic Trials. Do I think he was extraordinary? No. Oscar was extraordinary and there hasn't been another Oscar since.

ex·traor·di·nar·y - adjective
1. beyond what is usual, ordinary, regular, or established: extraordinary costs.
2. exceptional in character, amount, extent, degree, etc.; noteworthy

I would say that Ronny defines all of these characteristics. De la hoya was an elite amateur, but even Oscar lost. I would need to understand your own definition of extraordinary, because it obviously isn't the correct one. I suppose your definition of an extraordinary fighter means they must win a gold medal. To me Raushee was extraordinary, competing in two Olympic games. To me Deontay is extraordinary for having the amount of experience he did and winning a bronze medal. Extraordinary is simply being better than the ordinary and I would say that several amateurs since De la hoya have been extraordinary. If that weren't the case, why would you be following a sport since De la hoya's departure that is full of average fighters? If you argue that Ronny accumulating a near 90-5 record in four years is not extraordinary then I would say you have a strong bias against that fighter. I think you owe more appreciation and credit to these young men and all they accomplish and sacrifice.
