The Philippines: Boxing's New Mexico

[TomRiddle]

hey hey hey !!!!!



the fun is here !!!!

[TomRiddle]

Im looking forward for this saturday's world cup, though I wouldnt not expect Phils to win, but this battle would be great.

[Chups]

they only wish to be like mexico, this world cup is bull****, they have two of the best fighters from the philippines against two mexicans that they are good but not great, put penalosa and bautista against rafa marquez or israel vasquez and you will see the diference. but actually i do like watching pinoys fights, they give a good show.

Pacquiao and Donaire is in the World Cup??

The question arises – are Filipinos going to become as dominant in boxing as Mexicans have been?

The answer is, HELL ****ING NO.

Man you guys really are ****ing retarted to think you guys will ever dominate boxing like Mexicans have.

obviously you dont know how to read. the writer's name is Tim Crowley and if my memory serves me right there's no pinoy named Crowley.

the only problem i had w/ the article is the fact that the author might be a little short in his boxing history knowledge when he wrote this...

"The Filipino fighters have a comparable worth ethic and a similar economic background as their Mexican counterparts. They also have the full support of their boxing crazy countries and die-hard fans. The biggest difference is that Mexican fighters have been on the world stage longer, and subsequently have been able to leave their prominent mark in boxing history. But it seems that all the factors are there for the Filipinos to make a similar impression."

though i agree that mexico has made a more tremendous impact, the philippines i believe were the first to have world champions. or correct me if im wrong.

Yeah that's a big booboo on the writer's part.

[TRUE WARRIOR]

there is no comparison between the philipines and mexico. even today there are much better fighters from mexico. its not even close. you will see when mexico wins the world cup on saturday. bautista and penalosa will get knocked out.
