    Then you should probably love Chocolatito. He's a full blown supporter of the Sandinistas.

    Well, this was a pretty pointless thread. If im not mistaken the name originated from a Peruvian newspaper that promoted communism back in the 50s. I could be way off.

    Is this a joke? It means "Red flag" and is a reference to bullfighters.

    Goes well with communism my ass.
    Not only the OP is way off the mark with wrong translation, now we have a boxing friendly political regime?
    You sir, should educate yourself on communism, how the goals of that system are/were achieved and what’s the cost of it all.

    Well soviet russia, eastern germany, bulgaria and kuba had all very strong boxing teams in thw second half of the 20th century. There is a correlation between boxing and communism for sure. Why do you think all those russians and central asian boxers are destroying the olmypics and the pros.

    Because of their mentality which has nothing to do with communists, it was there way before it.
    If not for those morally handicapped excuses of human beings, aka people who created communism and literally disposed of successful, talanted and capable just to “make all people equal”, we’d have a lot more great boxers from EE and this issue is not limited to sports.
    One could argue that we wouldn’t have people like Solzhenitsyn etc today but communism didn’t do any good things.

    No... west germany sucked at boxing, while eastern germany was quit successful with a 3rd of the population. Also cuba is the very only strong boxing country the Caribbean.
    And boxing started to develope after castros overtake in 1959.

    Benavidez is a vexillophile ie. someone who collects flags and red coloured ones just so happen to be his favourite.
