    Ha ha, I agree. But these are our fat asses. They do need to get in better shape. If Chris Arreola could get in shape he could give any heavyweight hell.

    i assume it's the same with black fighters vs. white fighters.... i want Bhop to destroy pavlik and Jones to destroy calzaghe, although i like calzghe.... and i'm not really a fan of Jones, i just dont like seeing us lose to white fighters, most black people think the same deep down inside even if they dont want to admit, and i'm sure white people are the same......nothing racist about it, you just want your people to do good, just like americans want USA to triumph in the olympics.....

    but heres a question, do mexican fans want Oscar to continue fighting and root for him?

    Monstar, you are right man. some people look at it as a race thing. it's just simply pride. it's like our own little olympics in the ring.

    by the way, i'm assuming you got your username from thundercats. if so, just wanted to say that was my cartoon back in the day. you know they are suppose to be making a movie right?

    of course you wanna root for your people. its pride. i like margo but ill always root for the puerto rican fighter. just like i rooted for cintron knowning he was gonna get his ass beat, i did cuz he is puerto rican. has nothing to do with being racist or anything, like someone said you just want your people to do good.

    WHAT!!??? Trinidad hit Campas with a tremendous shot, Snapping his head Way back. And Campas still didn't go down! Campas didn't win, but his chin held up! Plus he floored Trinidad early on.

    I think it depends on the class of fighter ..I mean how many puerto ricans really pulled for Cintron in the rematch against Antonio ?


    In this fight I beleive unless your a die hard fan of a certain fighter the loyalties will remain ..

    No, Just saying Campas didn't go down. He took some hellacious shots & remained on his feet. He was beaten, but his Chin DID hold up. Just like saying La Motta against Robinson in thier last fight. La Motta was beaten to a pulp, But his Chin held up because he never got knocked off his feet. I only posted that because his chin was questioned against Trinidad.

    Mexican-Puerto Rican fans might go back and fourth about this and that... But in reality there is a deep seeded respect for eachothers fighters. Both Countries produce the finest Lower-Mid. Weight Level fighters in the world & when there is the oppurtunity for two of them to fight eachother, Then that makes it extra special. There is no shame in a Mexican fighter to lose to a Cotto or a Trinidad.

    Papa,,,,,,Campas didnt go down because the ref got between them and stopped the fights. Otherwise Yory Boy's head would had flown 50 feet outside of the ring with the shots he was getting. Worth mentioning that Yory Boy lost four teeths that night.....
