rip Balado

[cieszyniok11]

beautiful boxer

[valery767]

For those who don't really know balado let me tell you guys that this kind of end of fight was really very unusual in his carreer....he wasnt a hard puncher,actually he was a very ,very fast heavyweigh and based his victories on his fast moves and great defence...one of the best that i ever seen in my live...

[tw69hands2]

@valery767:

Balado could hit harder than people thought. When he planted his feet and let those fast hands fly, he could bang. RIP Senor Balado, you were one of the best.

[gonzalezsamurai]

Es una pena la forma en que murió este atleta, Un tren impactó su carro en un paso a nivel. En paz descance esta gloria de Cuba.

[unblesstheballs]

Roberto Balado is my cousin. this guy was awesome sucks i didnt get to meet him personally

[ficote72]

Don't know how Balado did it but he gave a beating to every heavyweight in that division in Cuba, BIG BIG guys with strong punching power, Balado eating them all with incredible speed for this division and great boxing.

[comedicstuff]

I guess the referee never heard of this thing called an 8 count.

[comedicstuff]

At least give the guy a chance to get up and possibly recover. Give him the 8 count and if he still can't continue, THEN stop it!

[KAKINO0202]

im always surprised at how maskaev went so far, with such an ugly technique and a really bad chin

[OkieSlims]

@KAKINO0202 His right cross was text book and carried him

[zagi1able]

man im really sad about his incedent, the heavyweight boxingscene need such great guy like roberto was.

[JoshLucas5]

Maskaev has a horrible chin. It is too bad that more of these Cubans don't turn pro. They rock!!!!

[fuitbag]

@JoshLucas5 I don't understand how this Chin stuff works? This Maskaev has a MASSIVE JAW how can he have such a easy knock out?

[JoshLucas5]

@fuitbag "Glass jaw" doesn't have anything to do with the makeup of his actual jaw. It means he is unable to recover from a punch.

[Antonushok]

москаев дерьмо...

[ronpo3]

el mejor boxeador que ha tenido cuba,EL FANTASMA!!

[QuantumJackhammer]

R.I.P. Roberto Balado, incredible fighter, beat down Maskaev in the amatuer ranks...something Vitali Klitschko couldn't do. Kudo's to the great Cuban, this coming from a American.

[ProGamboa]

Excelent display!

[caballete66]

R.I.P. from Miami

[guachoko]

super heavyweight champion in Cuba is wanted!

[szondasoss]

car crash or any other accident

[buitrago73]

how did balado die ?

can someone explain.

Thank You

[arate16]

El murio en un accidente. Iba a entrenar temprano y no vio el tren a la hora de cruzar el ferrocarrio. Murio en el acto.

[asspop123]

He died in an accident, he was going to train early in the morning and he didn't see that the train was coming while he was crossing the tracks. He died because of the event.

[alexcubata]

He was driving his car and the train smashed it. I don't believe this, i think he was murdered or something like.

[caballete66]

El no fue asesinado, el murio por chocar con su auto un tren.

[wardyeire]

car was hit by a train at a crossing in cuba

[lancego30]

cuban boxers are supposed to be prof'l great fighters bt many of them never get into professional boxing. Who is that cuban boxer who always win gold in the olympics? Was he Felix Savon? that man is great.

[uploaderist]

felix savon is 3 time olympic champion and 6 time world champion

[tentwo70]

This guy would have made a great pro. What a shame that he passed away.

[hiEverybodyitsMe]

I dont think the cuban gouvernment allow cubans going pro.

[elyedai]

yes you are right, but he could have defected to another country, look at Gamboa, Solis, Barthelemy and many others, cuban boxers are PRO it's a shame that they have to defect to being pro, i hate Fidel and the cuban government!

[kuluku]

Miss Balado so much, another Cuban Lengendary as Felix Savon!

[wolfy2685]

any more of Balado? He is the best amateur boxer I have seen.

[89RealThe]

@wolfy2685 Died in 1994 in a train accident.

[leonazul28]

Te extrañamos Roberto. Descansa en paz.

[cantasonero]

el estudio en mi misma aula en la primaria de pin......

[leonazul28]

Es duro compadre. Te juro que ese dia y durante dias despues yo quede consternado.

[cantasonero]

si eso estuvo duro

[ruzzak]

is this the end?!

[locoxelbox]

??? the ref stopped the fight. Even the doctor comes in to examine the boxer.

[ronnybarrera]

para mi fue uno de los mejores..que en paz descanse
