Ok thanks going to be a great year! We will be getting a look at some of the next Olympic fighters.

Medals will be earned.

[luke.91]

When will a team list be up?

[scallum]

Team Usa could get 4 Medals

[locoxelbox]

It seems Cuba can only afford to send three boxers. 56 kg Javier Ibanez, 60 kg Alain Limonta and 91 kg Yordan Hernandez.

[luke.91]

That's ashamed about Cuba. What weights do you think the USA will go best in?

[scallum]

114,141 ,152 and Super Heavyweight are good shots at Usa winning medal s

Mike do you know what is going on in Dominican Republic? Jr Team Usa has booked flights there for tournament 25-30th of this month but can't find any information

[mike222]

The USA youth team are joining up at their training centre prior to flying to Sofia on April 6.

In March 2013 there was a junior tournament in the Dominican Republic which attracted the Cuban team but I have heard nothing about a 2014 version.It was known as the Zapata cup.
