Robeisy Ramírez: A Giant Of The 52kg Division


Robeisy Ramírez - Cuba - Gold Medal

Imagine! An Olympic Boxing Champion that competes in the 52kg division. I had to go to a laptop conversion program to figure out how many pounds that was: 114 lbs.

When I graduated from High School in 1963 I weighed only 118 lbs. If I had chosen to go into Boxing, could I have been a champion? I doubt it. I rather fight with a book than with another human being.

What a way for Cuba to close the 2012 London Olympics! BIG APPLAUSE FOR THE ISLAND AND FOR ROBEISY!
