aside from manny
i serioulsy dont think there is a mexican philipino rivalry
not to be fuked up or sound like im tryin to clown on them
but they are hardly a force in bboxing
it reminds me of when Morales and Hernandez were fighten
some people were talkin about a mexico salvador rivalry
i was like wtf
since when
erik said it best
theres no nationaltiy rivalry
just a strait up fight
maybe lil with pac since he crowned himself the mexican assassin
but if i see some filipino fighten a mexican
its no diff to me then seeing a mex fight a white, black, or whatever
