Marquez: “I am the true Mexican fighter in this fight!”

bingo

 

I hope more mex american boxers mix the come forward element of mexicans with the slickness of black american boxers. And I hope more of my chicano brothers follow what de la hoya did in putting the smack down on the the supposed 100 % Mexicans who look down on us. :good

 

"Juan Diaz is an American. He may be of Mexican descent, but he is an American by birth and I doubt he is going to be moving to Mexico anytime soon. "

Bingo

 

the one who doesn't use plaster in their gloves is the true Mexican warrior

 

No, even better -- you can be a full blooded American. Something a lot better than any kind of ethnic/racial/tribal fetish.

 

both

 

if africa was connected to us you best believe they would be

 

I'm going to be at these fight and I'll post it up to tell you the outcome it's hard to pick a fighter in this fight since I live in h-town babybull is one of my fav. boxers, but he's going to have his hands full with Marquez.. I have Marquez winning this one. But Marque is right half of that crowd will be cheering for Marquez and before the fight is over everybody will be cheering for him so no matter who wins all the tejanos will be happy at the end of the day " really hope babybull takes this **** but I really doubt it come down to it I'll be cheering for both and at the end of the night still go celebrate regardless who wins....

 

diaz will whoop marq with his school text books.

 

Being mex-american myself but born to 100% mexican parents I gotta agree that JMM makes some sense. To full blooded mexicans, boxing has a different meaning. To them its a way of life and sometimes their hope to get away from poverty its almost like Mui Tai for the Thailand people. I can guarantee you that most top knotch Mex boxers will almost die trying to defend their honor in the ring and thats something I cannot say for my fellow mex americans.

 

no. it's the other way around

 

I like JMM. He's one of my favorite fighters. However... I HATE when fighters say this ****.

 

stupid comment by jmm

i hope J.diaz wins.

 

I am a big JMM fan but he should not have said this. Juan Diaz is a proud Mexican-American and he represents his people well in the ring. True warrior.
