if a philipino or puertorican beat Linares yesterday, there would be non stop hype

thats cuz we produce champions left and right, salgado was just one of them...

That's right, like Brazilians And Argentinians in Soccer.

khan was 18-0. linares was 27-0. khan was a 0 time champion. linares was a 2 time, 2 weight champion.

All of the titles that Linares won were vacant though.

I've only seen like 90 seconds of Salgado fighting. If I came on here hyping him up, I'd get exposed pretty quickly. It's not like I had even heard of him before this.

Anyways, ethnic pride is always gonna be a part of boxing, it would seem. It's just that some people enjoy that angle of it while others favor the sweet science / love of certain fighters regardless of race.

Oh yeah, and I should also say congrats to Salgado on the upset victory.
