And even if the first post by the TS could be considered racist, I kinda have to agree with him. It seems that Mexican boxing prides itself on having the fighters who are able to withstand the most punishment, and that alone is worthy of praise. I disagree completely with this, not only because it is detrimental to their health, but because it shows a lack of respect for the complex schemes of boxing. The sweet science is an intricate sport with multiple strategies, most of which seemed to be ignored by the Mexicans, and actually ATTACKED by them when they see fighters who apply them succesfully.
That whole "take 3 to land 1" mentality, and their frequent use of words like "cojones", "huevos", and "coward" shows that these guys have a truly messed up vision of what constitutes manliness. People are even criticizing Vitali for running! Didn't he just score a KO and made Arreola cry? Oh, but since he didn't brawl, he's a coward? Since when does a lack of intelligence translate to bravery?
