Ahhhh....Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican independence day....o.o

I honestly can say that I'm really excited to see Saul Alvarez start to get exposure in the U.S, Tha kid I can honestly say is going to go places if they carefully start building up even more. He's the most popular fighter right now in Mexico and it's just great that he'll be getting in the ring on may 1st. Not happy about him getting signed to GP though..

You also have to add in that **** Mosley said about being half Mexican. He's from LA and grew up fighting with basically all Mexicans and so on. I honestly think alot of the Mexican fans will start to adopt him, atleast for this fight. Then on the flip side you have the Mayweathers always coming into the ring with the big Mexican hats on like they are the Mexican killers. I think that will help the fight sell alot also, e****ally on Cinco De Mayo

Is Shane really half Mexican, or is that referring to his style, since he's kind of a brawler?

That's good and all but a lot of people buying this card will be Americans. Put some good young Americans on the card too. Like it or not people tend to root for their own countrymen and there would be no better time to promote a young, promising fighters on this card.

alot of people talk it as him being half Mexican but I just think he meant his style, where he grew up, and who he fought in the gym with mostly. Dougie Fishcer loves Shane and all he use to talk about was all the wars he saw Mosley have in the gym with Mexicans coming up so he knows that he can fight against them better than most guys can and wont be intimidate by a Margarito or whoever. Everyone thinks he has that Mexican style & heart with his black mixing in with the speed and ****. Thats another reason why he does pretty good crowds in LA. I actually thought it wouldve been cool to have this fight at the Staples Center but I knew Floyd wouldnt go for that because of money and just the crowd itself. Vegas isnt that far away though, I guess

what happens if may-mosley got stacked up with american black boxers as undercards?

[BoxerDood]

I wanna see Alvarez destroy that bum Julio Cesar Chavez Jr for disgracing his fathers name and having to use PEDs or whatever he used in his last fight against another bum who came off of a three year layoff...But Arum wouldn't allow that to happen...
