Canelo Alvarez does the impossible, knocks Carlos Baldomir out

I think James was born in Mexico, but raised in Texas. Mexican-born and the people in Texas love him. I'm Mexican American of French and Puerto Rican descent, my grandfather was Afro-Mex from Veracruz, a port in Mexico. Common to see alot of Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and people from the carribean there.

 

This is very true Chivito, there is a festival held in the Yucatan celebrating African ancestry. People from all over the carribean come to this festival.

 

I like Alvarez. I look forward to seeing him fight again. He has a good style, reminds me of Cotto a little, good technique.

 

Where is all of this insider info coming from? Saul Alvarez is 100% Mexican born in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco, Mexico. His father and sibllings all have dark hair, he inherited his red hair from his mother. being a readhead is not exclusive to "whites" or "Irish", and no he's not Puerto Rican!

 

Go back a page, that was already cleared up. :good

His mother also has a Mexican name (Ana Maria or something like that) but her father is supposedly from Ireland.

It's not just the red hair but the very pale skin and the freckles. It makes sense that he'd be 1/4 Irish.

 

What the **** are you talking about? atsch

 

To be fair the only thing out of place in that post was the word "arabs" - not sure what that was about.

Most Mexicans are a mix of Mediterranean whites (Spanish) and the indigenous peoples of Central America - aka mestizos.

edit: actually there is a sizable minority in Mexico of middle easterners, 1.1 million immigrants making up over 1% of the population according to Wikipedia. Salma Hayek, for instance, is one quarter Lebanese.

 

So the Irish and Puerto Ricans are trying to claim Canelo too

 

Hahahahaha!! He's just so easy to hate! He seems like a nice guy though.
