Comments Thread For: Canelo: The Mentality That a Mexican Fighter Has Makes a Big Difference

[Bronx2245]

"I think Mexican boxing is also about knowing how to move, hit, and not get hit,” Canelo said.

"Hit and not get hit," is not Mexican style! Canelo should know better!

Lol. Casual. JCC, Finito López, Sánchez... their defense bolds what Canelo says, unless of course “Mexican fans” didn’t know who those guys were.

those guys were all way more dynamic offensively than canelo and their fights were way more action packed too. They didn’t sacrifice offense for the sake of cautious defense the way canelo does. Pretty much a terrible comparison on your end, makes me wonder if you even watch boxing outside of canelo.

You heard Mexicans saying these things in New York...Puerto Rico perhaps. Have you even been to Mexico to hear them saying anything at all?

It’s boxing messaging boards such as this one and social media where Mexican boxing fans posted these comments non stop. Even canelo himself had made comments about wanting the Mexican dates when Floyd had them and accused him and other boxers of being boring. Try and keep up little buddy.

And what is that exactly? Cheat in any way possible?

He did learn the shoulder roll from Mayweather -- the pull counter not so much. Watch his early fights. He was using the pull counter when he was in his mid-teens way before he fought in the United States.

I believe he had T.V mate

“ I think Mexican boxing is also about knowing how to move, hit, and not get hit,” Canelo said. Interesting, that’s not what Mexican fans were saying when Floyd was dominating during Mexican holiday weekends. All we heard was how boring he was, how he fought like a coward, how they wanted a Mexican fighter to highlight those dates because they would make for action fights. Wonder what changed everyone’s minds.

Who's mind changed? He was boring, a coward, ran/hugged his way to victories, carefully chose his opponents and gave them unfair disadvantages, had judges, refs and the NSAC in his back pocket, was juiced to the gills, and a closet h0mo.

Cute story. I enjoy all of those boxers and Canelo. Lol

[just the facts]

I believe it helps but not as much as favorable score cards.

Alvarez is from the state of Jalisco. You can't get more Mexican than that, but you already knew that right. You just wanted to post some racist ******ity.

You don't even know what racism means lmao! How am I being racist? Everybody knows Canelo is Irish.
