Teófilo Stevenson

Stevenson has left us. The news arrived yesterday after 4:00 p.m. No other amateur boxer shone so much in the history of that sport.  He could have achieved another two Olympic titles hadn’t it been for certain duties that the principles of internationalism imposed on the Revolution.  No money in the world would have been enough to bribe Stevenson.

Glory be to his memory forever!

Se nos ha ido Stevenson. Después de las cuatro de la tarde de ayer llegó la noticia. Ningún otro boxeador amateur brilló tanto en la historia de ese deporte. Podría haber obtenido dos títulos olímpicos adicionales, si no hubiese sido por deberes que los principios internacionalistas impusieron a la Revolución. Ningún dinero del mundo habría sobornado a Stevenson.

¡Gloria eterna a su memoria!
