    That's the literal narration, but in spanish slang "negrito" does not mean the same thing "little black guy" means in english. It's like a term of affection. And also (and I find this really sad), since the European/American influence is so strong here, and we've been colonized to feel inferior, blacks in the caribbean (especially DR) try to deny their color as much as possible. Calling someone "negro" (black) could be taken as an insult even if the person is black. So, by saying negrito and making it diminutive, its like making it "nicer" Very sad, but true.

      I've seen Duddy fight live and I doubt he hits harder than Taylor, shot for shot. The rest of those guys probabably do though.

        funny, he landed flush shot after flush shot on ouma and ouma hardly noticed.... and hes already had 10 fights where he couldnt win by KO. he couldnt even deliver a KO if he wanted to (as evidenced by his ouma fight).
        So what? Ouma is a beast and was at his best. Taylor fought wild in front of his hometown. Taylor's lack of a KO has nothing to do with Taylor's supposed lack of power. He has plenty of sharp punching power. He does not throw enough accurate punches to get a KO in most cases.

          I understand the term and the slang. When you add ito, to it you are trying to say with affection at the same time its likes saying little, or small or young. Unless Puerto Rican slang is different which could be the case. You guys say negrito. Down here some will say moreno, or morenito if one is talking about a youngster. You wont add ito, if your talking about a man, unless then you are adding affection and not talking about somone young. More detail of this converstaion take it to the H-Lounge.

            he got the jump on hopkins, good for him. but he didnt hurt winky. dont kid urself.
            After that comment, I will never take anything you say seriously about boxing because #1, Kassim Ouma is known for his incredible chin. When he fought Marco Antonio Rubio, it was at Junior Middleweight (154), but Rubio came in at 170 (Super ****ing Middleweight)!!! Ouma was 153. He took some punishment from Rubio, but still went on to DOMINATE the fight. Don't forget that Rubio is 6'1.

            #2. He fought and beat the best Middleweight of our generation twice, and if he didn't the first time, he certainly made it close enough to warrant a rematch. Everyone talks about how it could've gone either way, but how many guys can say that against Bernard ****ing Hopkins. Same thing with Winky Wright. Winky hadn't looked that ****ed up since he got floored numerous times in Central America.

            He looked great against a fighter that makes great fighters look foolish. If you're going to talk **** about Taylor but not Wright, then you’re just a hater. He was favored by most of you Taylor-bashers, and didn't get the job done. He also refused a rematch like a ***** (he knows he'd lose, Manny would not let Jermain get a close decision a second time).

            You just talk out of your ass. You don't know **** about boxing.

              DUDDY-MIRANDA, in a year or so, would be an awsome fight.

              DUDDY can take a punch, and with a bit more maturity and skill, that fight has FOTY written all over it

                I agree with everything you said about Ouma, Rubio, and Taylor. However, could you tone down the animosity towards Evil a little bit. I agree he is way off on this analysis but we could take it easy with all the bomb-throwing.

                Just a request. (^_^)

But i wouldn't say he has a glass chin, he took some serious shots from Hernandez that added up especially in a 10 rounder and same with Hernandez the punch he was taking was adding up and showing there effect but when Hernandez seemed to make his last stand threw punchs non-stop it seemed and caught Litzau and with the accumulation of punchs he was taking earlier he had less resistance to those shots.

                    And Miranda said he wanted Taylor next, or in his exact words, though not translated, "i want to face that little black guy -Taylor."

                    Yeah, I remember kfootball annoyingly hyping up Jason Litzau. This is just about a white man that does decent in a non-white sport and getting ridiculous amount of hype for it (see Jason Williams, Brian Urlacher). He’s just another great white hype. I knew this was going to happen sooner rather then later. I even won $50 off some redneck. I guess he seen Litzau on Friday Night Fights and adopted him as his new idol/inspiration next to Eminem. lol
