    Loma is white and Rigo is black. As long as people live on Earth there will probably be a tendency for the majority to root for the man who looks most like themselves. All else equal.

    Trying to be a realist here.

    I don't think Alex hates white people. If rooting for a black guy means you hate white people then I've been guilty of hating white people too, and I'm white.

    Race card is easy to play for any race.

    If either of them look like me, it's Loma. As far as skin color goes.

    :patsch This is a silly thread, everyone eventually goes sleep time, it is impossible to stay awake for 24 hours.

    I agree with this its no problem in siding with fighters who look more like you i think its actually a commendable trait.

    Rigo is one of the greatest for a reason. He has power in both hands, which is rare for such low weight guys. I wouldn't be surprised if Loma gets hurt, Rigo is a living legend.

    In all fairness he has looked great against one elite fighter and looked like **** against a couple of B-, C+ fighters. So I don't know still what to make out of him.

    Was it a bodyshot or a headshot? I never got the answer to that.

    You sound more optimistic than Loma's team Rigo is ready no more than 134 lbs fight nite.

    Because he's coming from a low division to challenge your boy now if you want tell Loma to come down to 122 with no clause.

    So why do you take issue when people side with their own?

    Because, in my opinion, that's racist. To ONLY side with your kind? Sure you can root for your fighters but to down play all of the others. It's different with you, Pac isn't white. You can't name a single current black boxer you root for. I've called you out on it plenty of times and you still haven't responded.

    I'm sure they will fight, sorry all depend on uncle Bob TR to approve the bout and the money.
