Abril: " I am more Mexican than Rios " !!!

Yeah. Abril seems pretty up for the fight, but Rios is Rios. Funny thing is that Rios understands more Spanish than he speaks. Some of his trainers work exclusively in Spanish with him.

 

"If Dey Win, Dey American. If Dey Lose, Dey be Wherever Da Hell Dey Came From".

-America

 

Abril showing cohones. He's showin Rios them balls! Abril with the mentality he gots nothing to lose. Suddenly this one has gotten alittle interesting. May be the best fight of the night fellas.

 

Speaking of Mexicans that don't speak Spanish, Alvarado vs Herrera should be a decent fight as well.

 

not really. Rios is born and raised in America.

 

In Mexico, Americans of Mexican descent aren't embraced.

 

:deal This one could be fight of the night too.

 

Real Mexicans like to smoke Cubans... So Rios is going to smoke Abril on saturday night! Easy work for Brandon! EASY..

 

That is so true. I attended college in Guadalajara and based on my experiences I was generally viewed as an outsider. People would try to explain the "culture" to me even if I understood a particular custom. Moreover, they would ask me if I understood what people said even if I understood them.

I did not feel unwelcome however I just felt like they people assumed I did not understand certain customs as I was not one of them.

 

No, he is right. If Im a mexican/american doctor, Im american. If Im a mexican/american cholo, Im a mexican, beaner, ******* and a product of mexico, not american.
Funny how the whole cholo crap started here in america/ us, but is viewed as mexican gangster culture.

Anyway, Rios can barely speak english, much less spanish. Ignorant mofo, but great to watch.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

It´s like that in any other place I guess......
I mean....a argentinian with spanish heritage is not viewed by spanish people as a "brother".......

 

It is a stupid thing for Abril to say. Manuel, Brandon's Dad speaks or understands very little english. Brandon's mom is Mexican American and speaks both lanquages. Brandon and all his siblings understand spanish and can speak it well enough to comunicatel. Brandon speaks spanglish. Abril speaks a Cuban influenced spanish. Big difference.

 

Rios might understnad Spanish be can't speak it. I give him credit for trying now and then, though it sounds bad. But he can say all the cuss words perfectly. :yep

If you know spanish you can understand it no matter where it's from Colombia, Mexico, Cuba etc... Sure there might be different accents and a word here or there. But it's the same, like a Texan and a Bostonian speaking. It's English, but different accents and some word used a little differently.

But none of that will matter when they get in the ring. I'm really looking for an action packed bout :thumbsup
