It was warfare between two countries and on this night, Mexico triumphed over the fighters from Thailand, but every single fighter gave his all. An idea created by Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, which pits two countries against each other in order to battle it out for a prestigious world cup trophy. The event was held in the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson, Arizona, before a crowd of screaming Mexican fans that cheered for every big blow their countrymen landed.
While the idea drew criticism from boxing circles when it was first announced, it proved to be a very entertaining event. The type of event that could lead to future world cup trophy competitions. One day we might see the fighters of Puerto Rico face the fighters of Mexico or how about the fighters of Mexico taking on the best of the Philippines with Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Manny Pacquiao in the main event. Why stop with just two? How about an event where three or more countries are involved. [details]
