Yes, he is Latino.
Ray Oliveira is Cape Verdian. They are a mix between African and Portuguese. I used to live in a very Cape Verdian community so I know the deal. Some consider themselves black but a lot of the times they dont consider themselves black. They just consider themselves Cape Verdian, not black or latino.
he just thought since Olivera was non white he had less brain cells then a white guy that why he did not hit him in the head...white guys can take to lose a few...JK

how the fuck is it racist?
so you guys think that black fighters in general dont have a kind of disdain for white hopes? especially black dudes from the hood.. it isnt racist, its a fact you tards.boxing has always been an ethnic oriented sport. sure there are some cases where black and white come together, me and kevan a guy i fought are real good friends, but some bruthas just dont like honkeys and its a fact. fuck u hoes for sayin im racist cuz im really not.
Every black guy ive fought, ESPECIALLY in like black clubs or bars(fought in a few of em, im not afraid i go in there proud and ignore the boos.my second fight i was the only white guy in the building except for my trainer and the ref.) has tried to get me outta there in the first round and not just boxed with me, even if they werent punchers. they wanna look good to their community by putting away the honkey early because of all the shit they went through with us in the past.
u know he would have brutally ko'd him if he was white and not showed mercy..
If what you're suggesting is true, then every non-white fighter that Augustus has fought, he would have shown mercy to when confronted with a similar situation as in the Oliviera fight. Also, every white fighter that he has ever fought, he would have not shown mercy to. Extending your argument further, this would also be true for most non-white fighters: black fighters would almost always show mercy to black fighters, latinos to latinos, etc. but not to white fighters.
Clearly, this is not true. When a fighter sees the opportunity to win or KO or whatever, no matter who the opponent is, they usually go for it. For example, Mike Tyson tried to knock everybody's head off, didn't matter what ethnicity.
I agree with Slipx
Watch Morrision-Mercer, Tyson-McNeely, Holmes-Cooney, and Joe Louis vs every white guy
What do the examples you provide have to do with the augustus fight? The boxers you provide would go for the knockout if there was an opportunity no matter who the opponent was.
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!
Is this doo for real?

Im pretty sure he did that out of honor he knew he wouldnt of been able to continue anyway he knew he was going to win so why would he of made it worse not all of us think "well since hes white i should beat the shit out of him"
I think that Augustus would have done the same if the fighter was white...Props to Augustus, any other mofo would have just beat the shit out of Olivera for fun...
Especially Tito
hm
My two cents, if worth that even:
1) There is no way to know what Emmanual would have done to a white fighter, in all honesty.
2) However, instead of dismissing Slip as a racist, perhaps YOU all should be more open-minded and really ask yourself the question seriously, what would Augustus have done with a white fighter?
The thing is, boxing thrives in the ghetto. Meaning a little more than 75% of them would do that to a white guy.
Listen carefully, the best example is a guy like me going to a fight at an all black club or bar, where im the only person in the building that isn't black. everyone there knows the majority of white fighters are weak, and the black fighter im against knows it himself, so he makes a decision to come at me early with everything he has regardless of whether or not he's a puncher, my nuts are gonna get tested early just because of my skin color.because many white guys have no chin whatsoever and the fight going to the second round with a white person would mean he is not champion material, to the crowd, his corner, and his family and friends.so they try to get the honkey out of there in the first round.
among the reasons they perceive us white fighters to be lesser is because 1. we cut easier 2. most of us arent from the hood so we're considered soft in the middle and 3. the past history of slavery and all that bullshit i wish never happened. not to mention theres never been a serious black presidential candidate and we're just coming off huge racism in america, back in the day all those old black dudes remember the colored fountains and all that shit. so of course tehre will be hatred towards us white fighters now, and likely a long time to come.because we symbolize to most of them 'the man getting over on you' or something dumb like that.
I really understand everything , that you are saying . When you are the only white guy in the club , I can see everyone ganging up on you because you are white . That is probably True . Why people are still like that i dont know , I am black ,indian ,and irish , and some of the things i see peopel do i will never understand . ALot of people are ignorant both White and Black . Instead of seeing you as someone who is doing something you love , or trying to make a living , they see you as a White Guy who is about to get knocked out . What in peoples mentality makes them like that is beyond me.
The Comments you are making about black fighters may be true for 75% of them , but you can never make a comment saying that all black fighters would try and KTFO out of a white fighter .
When you use absoulute terms like " All " you are stereotyping. You cannot say all Black fighters would do that because you do not know all black fighters .
I mean how many times have we seen another black fighter go after and KTFO of another black fighter ?

That's one fight I never had the pleasure of seeing, but if Morrison showed that he was injured and Mercer went in for the kill like Duke fucked his mother, then yes.
however Morrison was kind of a shit talker if I remember correctly..so that could have been the reason for it

Do you beleive this is why Mercer fucked up Tommy Morrison?

This is coming from the same guy who made a thread in the lounge asking why some chick on Friends was fat one season. You are a fucking moron riz, seriously. If anyone is racially biased it's you, with your fucking marciano nuthugging ass.
I'm not saying he's racist im saying that the black man in general, when he gets a white guy hurt,or when he thinks he's hurt, sees red, and goes for the KO with a different kind of bloodthirst, especially if he is in front of a predominatly black crowd, thats just hte way it is. its the same with latinos to an extent, but i feel like theres some kind of extra hatred towards the white man when i goto a black club to fight because they always boo me the worst for no apparent reason..ive won and had shit thrown at me and had to leave like i did something wrong..
The fact that Olivera is latino is irrelevant, his skin is black/dark brown so Augustus sees him as a brutha, thats just the way it is.(plus latinos didnt enslave augustus race even if he does recognize the fact that he isnt black, and u know olivera has some black blood in him anyway, so stfu with that shit.)

I bet if Olivera was a white hope instead of a black, Aug wouldnt have given mercy | BoxingScene Community
