What's with Puerto Rican fighters and left hooks?

The left hook is most synonimous with Mexicans, not Puerto Ricans.

With Ortiz, it was any number of things. The hook doesn't stand out. Benitez had his defense. His jab and lead right were his most effective shots, I'd say.

Gomez, the best of them all, had an array of punches that were all as good as each other. Nothing really stands out there, either. Only Cotto and Trinidad are known primarily for their hooks.

However, the Mexicans.......Zarate, Cuevas, Chavez, Pintor, Olivares certainly.....Zamora was another......all of them were known for their hooks.

 

Garcia is American, born and raised in Philly. :deal

 

100% puerto rican genes and blood though

 

So THREE Puerto Ricans have good left hooks.........well then it must be a conspiracy. :blood

 

It's fine dude, I don't give a damn one way or the other. I was just putting out there that it's Mexicans that are traditionally known for that. I don't care if you want to claim that for Puerto Ricans. Feel free.

 

Usually when there is a successful fighter from a particular region a crop of fighters with similar trends will emerge. Tito started the trend. Juanma lopez also had a very good left hook.

 

u are mexican so u are bias therefor youre opinion is not valid.

On that note,,u are ****ing crazy bro,..
The left hook is more to puerto ricans then mexicans..

Mexicans are known for great chins and block heads that can absorb punishment.


There has been so many mexicans that u could say they own everypunch from the jab and etc...
But ricans are known for the left hook,..not mexicans..fact.

 

I'm of Finnish descent actually, you ****ing ******.

Gotta love the General Forum.

LOL... Garcia is as Puerto Rican as any PR fighter. His Parents are Rican. That is how this game is played. That's like saying Ortiz is American...He is as "mexican" as it gets.
