    You are kinda contradicting yourself here... Cuban fighters love Cuba even though they were treated like slaves. Miranda had a rough time in Colombia...we get it...but you are now alienating your fanbase in Florida which is 90% Colombian. If he wants to be from PR good luck! :thumbsup

    all these posters talkng bout **** him. lmao he would knock you pussies the **** out. He was shitted on by colombians and as a little kid they would not help his black ass out. He went to PR and was embraced and is in awe of their rich boxing heritage. Miranda is not Obama he gets punched in the head for a living. I don't expect Political correctness from a fighter. Let it go.

    I thought Faustino Asprilla was also good and quite a character.

    Pacquiao was shitted by filipinos as a kid tooo and you don't see him say **** Phillipines.

    It's Columbia for me man.

    it's way beyond that bro...
    you dont think ricans and mexicans had it rough in their areas, getting shot at, stabbed, made fun of etc etc.....

    you should never let your country down, never.....

    does he think urango and all them were raised on silver spoons and forks...:huh


    i'm not gonna go as far as saying **** him and he's a *****.....but in boxing, you dont do that...

    Heard about this a while ago, He feels he learnt his trade in Puerto Rico, You have to think that the fact he used to eat road kill in colombia probably means he would rather forget his roots maybe?

    yup, and even if he felt this way he should keep his mouth shut..There's certain things you just shouldn't do...this is definitely one of them..

    Was good Freddie!

    I wasn't even going to bring this up but... you and I both know his skin color has a lot to do about the way he was treated. He has a right to feel the way he feels imo. Many Spanish cultures have some serious racism issues. Light colored hispanics tend to **** on the darker ones.

    I think his country let him down first.

    I like the honesty. He did have to eat cats as a homeless kid in Colombia, the place didn't treat him that well, what do you expect.
