PBS are airing a documentary about the Havana boxing academy in Cuba on Tuesday 10th July.
Might be worth a watch for those that are interested.

Thanks much for the info! Do you know if this is a repeat? I think I've seen something on the Cuban National boxing team in the past.

I'm not sure if it is a repeat.

Here is a trailer if you are interested.

Casamayor told me the bicycle story some years ago. Seems as if Castro doesn't always follow through on his promises. From what I understand, the only boxers who are totally taken care of are Stevenson and Savon. Unfortunately, unless I don't have current info, Casamayor's family is still in Cuba....

Did anyone record this? If so, can you upload it somewhere as a torrent file?

Thanks....
