Riyadh is following g the same don king path ….mounting the best boxing cards
Vamos zurdoooooooo let’s do it champpppp!!!!!! For mexicooooooo!!!!!!
For Mierdaxico!!!!
Why do Mexican-Americans who’ve fled that country or don’t live there so proud of that failed narco state?
Because is something that nobody can change
Is like all the African people in USA they are proud of Africa even if you tiny like it
You don’t need to come from
A Rich country in order to feel the pride
We all know a corrupt, intellectually, morally and ethically impaired people can’t fix a corrupt, intellectually, morally and ethically impaired country…..they’re the cause not the effect!
What do you feel pride for? Let us all know.
Mexican politics is one thing. Mexican boxing is a totally different thing. Mexicans have support for successful fighters from the homeland thats all.
Bad comparison, and unclear if your talking so called African Americans or people from Africa
Deplorable post
“Why do Mexican-Americans who’ve fled that country or don’t live there so proud of that failed narco state?”
– Because they are proud of their heritage……
What heritage?
Corruption, incompetence, dysfunction, repression, poverty, indifference?
I suggest those that are proud of their “heritage” live in the country of their heritage! They won’t which tells you EVERYTHING you need to know.!
“I suggest those that are proud of their “heritage” live in the country of their heritage! They won’t which tells you EVERYTHING you need to know.!”
– Sounds like you are upset because your sister is dating a Mexican.
– Don’t worry, be happy……..
Whatever happens at any country it has nothing g with the pride towards your own country
In the World Cup you will Africans supporting their teams and Africa is very poor
Same at the world baseball classic everybody support their teams like Cubans Mexicans Japanese etc etc etc
And Cuba is very poor but they are proud of their home
So it has nothing to do with money or politics
sounds like you have serious deep rooted cultural issues and a clear identity crisis.
We “Mexican Americans” are proud of our culture’s food, music, fighting hearts and courage. Just like Cubans still fly their flags here.
It is those that insist on hypocritically identifying as “Mexican” or invoking their Mexican “pride” yet DO NOT reside in that country and are beholden to American institutions and socioeconomic policies for their safety, opportunities and freedoms that are confused and suffer from an identity crisis.
And if Mexicans (or Cubans) had any courage or fighting hearts (it’s the complete opposite)…..they wouldn’t have fled their homelands!!
You have how many people from all over the world live in the USA and they are proud of their country???
Millions and it includes the Poorest countries …so you wrong
It’s obvious you lack basic reading comprehension and incapable of rational thought.
You’re a waist of time.
Jimmy Juan..
We have plenty of Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Polish Americans…etc and they proudly display their heritage
Even though at some point they all fled their respective countries.
You and the other haters are just frustrated with people who aren’t like you.
And this is a boxing forum, take your narrow mindedness to the forums designed for that.
Absolutely the right question to ask. They get displaced from their home country because there are no opportunities. Yet dispise the country that accepts them, gives them opportunities, a higher living standard, and dotes on the country that chased them away. Astonishing.
As for r now
Zurdo by Dec
Ramirez by Dec
Zepeda Tko 6
Collazo ko 3
Kenneth by close decicion
That’s a pretty good card! I guess that’s why they were having difficulties with Zurdo – Dorticos, because they were working on a unification fight for him. I think Zepeda probably brutalizes Farmer, but he can be slick when he’s on his game. The rest of these are at least pretty good fights and they’re FINALLY getting Ramirez & Barboza together.
Well Barboza got a gift in his last fight
A big gift “
Carlos, are you back? The real Carlos? I haven’t seen your predictions lately. I was even wondering if there was another Carlos on here. Anyways, this is a good card. Barbosa did get a gift, but I suspect he will be ready for Ramirez. Farmer presents problems for a lot of people and duarte could steal the show. Zurdo will probably be the least talked about fight.
Cheers killa king
I agree with you
Farmer style is difficult
but the best of farmer is gone
Shouldn’t a “Latino” night be fought in a Latino country?
We all know why.
Shouldn’t you be posting on a white supremacist website rather than boxing. Dumass.
That is a sick paradox; you post with a Latino name, but you hate Latinos, and Juan is the most common Latino name, along with Jose. Laughable!!
Latino night? Wow…
– Thank you, Boxing Gods…………..
I can see Zurdo winning.
I expect Zurdo to win.
If he has any legs remaining during rounds 1-4, Farmer may provide a few difficulties to Zepeda. Zepeda’s pressure and heavy shots will eventually wear down Farmer for a TKO5.
Duarte vs. Sims, Jr. should be a good one.
Overall, a solid card.
….if Pedraza could stop a younger Farmer, what about a prime Zepeda vs an old Farmer?
Jimmy Juan
So…. You are not proud of your country then ???
What country? With a Brain like his, he was probably hatched or made in some laboratory.
Lol
If you are proud of yours you would go back (to Mexico and help fix it)!!! Those who don’t care (for Mexico) leave for the U.S.
Billam-Smith, despite having a hyphenated name, is gonna beat Zurdo.
