Non-Americans: Thoughts on an Escobedo Upset

So you know for a fact there aren't any? You only believe what you see?

Have you been to Mt. Everest? How do you know it exists?

 

But for Fighter A = against Fighter B.

So there's no such thing as rooting for one but not against the other.

So, yes, it's vacuous grounds on which to root for or against any boxer, tool.

 

Where are they..??

What's wrong with Broner?

 

What's wrong with rooting for Escobedo? He's American too, you know...

atriot

 

See post 16..it applies to those types of "Americans"

 

... So you're a racist implying Americans rooting against Broner are racists? Or do they merely "hate America" for rooting against Broner?

 

Yep..

I'm just as much a hypcrite as you Broner haters....

 

I think Broner is a hype job, but will always root for him to succeed. He has a great personality and exciting in the pocket style.

If he loses, it's his handlers' fault for not stepping him up past cans when he struggled with De Leon and feeding him too many soft touches.

 

I'm not of Mexican (or any kind of Hispanic) descent, you ****ing idiot. :beat

Americans can root for whoever they want to without it having any implied nationalistic or racial bias.

In this case, they have two Americans to choose from.

Broner is American.

Escobedo is American.

Americans can root for either.

Personally, I'm far more inclined to root for Chente - although expecting Broner to win comfortably - based on his style in the ring and personality outside of it than for Adrien based on his.

You're welcome to do the opposite. It doesn't make you anti-Mexican any more than my choice makes me anti-black.

We're both rooting for American boxers, just two different ones based on the attributes that we like about them. If YOUR choice in who you root for is predicated on nationalistic and racial bias, that's YOUR problem.

 

i think it will be an extremely close and competative fight with broner getting the decision in his hometown. hopefully it will be a wake up call seen as he didnt seem to learn anything from the de leon fight

 

:good

 

Escobedo is a warrior in the ring, Been watching him in the ring verses Juarez, Katsidis, Guerrero and some of his lesser " Telefutura " Bouts. War ESCOBEDO. Think he is tough enough to go late, He did with Guerrero and was game. Broner UD.

PS: American

 

I still say Ponce was Robbed, I want a rematch before Adrien Broner moves up.

 

The 14th amendment does not apply to Escobedo...

 

Ponce said no dice to the rematch..

He knows something you don't..
