Warning: Do not strike in the head

Made for beauty, not boxing

Cuban women "are made for beauty and not to take blows around the head," Cuban head boxing trainer Pedro Roque told Cuban reporters.
And so Cuban women will not take part in the London 2012 Olympic Games. Said Barrientos:

We have no intention of participating for the moment in any international competition as we consider this discipline is 'inappropriate' for women.
