Mexico is second in boxing behind The USA

[Chaconlittlered]

I would have to say, maybe its better economically to fight in PR or Japan. Plus right now how the media is all on Mexico, they probably wouldn't go especially now. Morel was going to fight Montiel but pulled out last minute to supposedly an injury. IMO I think Montiel scared him when he felt disrespected by Morel and reminded him of the violence that goes on in Mexico, because after that Morel was injured. But I think that some Mx champs should have some pull to be able to host a fight in Mx.

I did considered the violence but if pinoy come to Mexico so can PR and Japanese fighters plus Tecate and Corona sponsor boxing matches now and TV Azteca and Televisa are fighting it out right now
I think JCC jr is with TV Azteca and Saul Alvarez is with televisa so right now there big money to be made in Mexico plus the Hozumi Hasegawa fight with Montiel and Burgos are not PPV

Oh and Morel Puss-y out big time he would only fight in NY Atlantic city

I seen it here I think, its because Morels dad was talking alot and the Montiels felt disrespected and said something in that regard. Didn't say much at the press conference, just reminding Morel of the type of violence that goes on in Mexico, to watch his mouth. And suddenly like a week or so later Morel pulls out due to supposedly an injury, and Montiel ended up fighting Torito Concepcion. I will try to find it but im on my droid.

lol

Fighters that go abroad, in my eyes, much of the time go to grab a championship from a "suspect champ" over their territory. That is basically the whole Celestino Caballero BS game. Other example, Daniel Santos over Giovanni Parisi.

So it's good that you cheer up your Mexican fighters and all. But going abroad, IMHO, is not that big of a deal.


Finally, Calderón (which I hate) fights here in PR because that's the only place he can really make a buck. The guy made a living being a Janitor or something of sorts in Guaynabo, if I'm not mistaken, before boxing. He needs his money, that's all.

Do you remember when the LA Laker won there 3 championship
Shaq said that it was a good win because they did it in anothers teams home court. To me it ment that it is harder to win it when you don't have the home court advantage I that goes for boxing these mex fighters have to fly to japan and get use to that country so a fighter does have some advantage in fighting in his own country

True, with boxing being embedded now even more in Mexico, and Tecate the major sponsor in boxing, there should be more fights there. Never really thought about it like that but very true, Pinoys do it, why don't others. Segura should flex some muscle to host it in his home state of Guerrero. Acapulco isn't bad.

You do have a chance to have a fight robbed by shady hometown judges (Ruiz - Valuev, Diaz - Malignaggi) but some of the time you just a relatively weak champion that only has drawing power in their home, because they are not really that world class to begin with. Again, another example would be Santos - Alcine, or Caballero vs """""""Somsak Sithchatchawal"""""".

The NBA comparison is more akin to a Tournament, like the Super 6.


Montiel is on the top of his game. He should fight Nonito, eventually.

Montiel will fight him next have my fingers crossed nothing happens till then
awesome fight I also want to see Juanma vs Gamboa Segura vs Gonzalez

Latino's and Europeans run boxing, nice try ******!

America are about as dominant as a whore getting gang******.

[elgranluchadore]

mexico is better in world champions
but most ppl value a higher weight class prospect more than a champion in the lower weight classes

[Steak]

1.Russians
2.Mexico
3.USA

Russia only has Lebedev, Pirog and Povetkin. you could throw Boytsov in there too.
a good list of fighters, but certainly not #1....

I'm not talking sh-it but when I see
4 Mexicans fighting for a championship in Japan and talks
about Segura fighting in Puerto Rico and Margarito
going to New York to fight Cotto

This is why I think Mexico is second best country in boxing behind the
USA it seems Mexicans ( lower weights) are more willing to go abraod
I mean Hozumi Hasegawa never defended his title outside Japan. Ivan Calderon made his career in Puerto Rico but that should not take away
from the fact that there both great champions Caledron is a HOF but Fighting once in awhile away from where you are from is good to and It seems Mexicans are great at doing that and Las Vegas may have alit of Mexicans living there it is still a neutral site

but this is a little ridiculous these are scheduled for this year and next year

Juan Carlos Burgos vs Hozumi Hasegawa for the vacant WBC Feather
Hugo Cazares WBA superfly vs HiroYuki Hisataka
Jorge Solis interm WBA superfeather vs WBA superfeather Takashi Uichiyama
Tomas Rojas WBC superfly vs Nobuo Nashiro- never fought outside japan for a title

only fair marg comes out 2 the eastcoast this time. got a point bout segura though.
