Post by Tomasino »

There was a Cuban Middleweight came over and turned pro, he was impressing folk with his skills in sparring...now I've heard fornicate all about him for a few years and I cant even remember his name.

A guy called Gary Hyde got them from Cuba to Cork and I think they may have trained in McCrory's gym in Newcastle for a while. Hyde was Rigondeaux's manager for a while too.
