    Mexican boxing has gotten many fights with other countries,most notably the USA, Puerto Rico,Japan and Philippines.

    But some must've remembered,how back then,when Korean boxing was still great,that Korean boxers actually fought and went quite competitive with Mexicans.

    Cool thread and I haven't seen the Bueno fight might give it a look. Somehow.

    I think the common denominator here though is Mexican :lol:

    The war, the war.

    Thanks for the shoutout! But In-jin Chi, man, it goes from Chang to Park to Chi? But then perhaps that is an accurate description of the historic trajectory of Korean boxing! ;)

    Lupe Pintor vs Seung Hoon Lee and Bazooka Limón vs Chung Il Choi. Victor Rabanales vs Jung Il Byun was apparently a damn good fight as well but sadly I can't seem to find it anywhere.

    Chi fought an Mexican ATG and it was an underrated scrap.

    Morales also mentioned that out of all the guys he fought that Chi has the best chin,so...yeah.

    Yeah, Chi was a tough mofo - if a bit primitive. My initial response was in jest! ;)

    No individual rivalry in any of those countries with Mexico, it’s Mexico vs the world they’re the apex predators on the lower side of the totem pole.
