Comments Thread For: Vazquez Jr. Explains Why He Carried Out The Mexican Flag

[TintaBoricua]

I thought that was strange as well. For a moment, I thought he had some Mexican side (or heritage) in his blood.

It's nice to see him do that gesture and get Mexicans on his side. I wonder if a Mexican would EVER do that, though.

He'd probably be bashed before he'd get to the ring and have the crowd throw chalupas and quesadillas at him.

Pigs will fly the day that Julio César Chávez, Sr. walks out with his son carrying a Puerto Rican flag shouting: "I'm proud of Puerto Rican fighters! I love you guys!"

DLH sported the PR flag when he fought Forbes if I remember right.

Vazquez proved to be a worthy opponent ... do not know why so much anger against the Puerto Rican .. maybe a lot of envy

Yes, they do. Some of them, anyway. Boxing is a fervent sport, though. It's VERY easy for people to say and do things in the middle of a fight. Ditto if they're drunk.

I don't like to toot my own horn but if there were more boxing fans as polite as me, the sportsmanship would be through the roof.

I'm like Boxingscene's little brother.

Editor's note: I don't even drink alcohol. I'd probably get plastered with the first sip of rum I'd take. But anyway, back to the topic...

let not forget his father did hi preparation for most of his fights in Temoaya Mexico in the mountains with great success. Wilfredo Vasquez mentioned in numerous ocations how grateful he is with the people of Temoaya that trated him with much repect and love.

Because of that he took his son to train in the same place.

Hell I work with some Chicanos that get mad if u call them that. I used to dislike Nuyoricans but as I gotten older I have learned to just ignore them. I get along great with Mexicans this is the internet and people that sit behind a computer will talk **** all day. That's why u see so many idiots posting garbage but any true fan knows there's mutual respect among us and that childish **** is probably coming from a 10 year old behind a computer.

*** PLEASE PEOPLE DON'T LISTEN TO THESE IGNORANT PEOPLE ***

Wow, I have never seen more hateful comment towards fellows on here. Recognize pana, there are more RICANS in NEW YORK than in PR so PLEASE STOP. You guys out there are really sad, you do realize all the movements out there with music, PR'S GREATEST CULTURAL CONTRIBUTION, started with Ricans who migrated to New York. Take hip hop, which elements are found in modern day Reggaeton (something that actually did start in PR), started the BRONX, my hometown where the NUYORICANS and African Americans were united and creating the genre TOGETHER. NUYORICANS have been pioneers of Hip Hop. And then SALSA, WHICH STARTED FROM NUYORICANS, and some of you try to talk **** about us?! You guys out there hate on us BUT COPY OUR STYLE. We have our own style and the women love it, especially the girls from PR and DR. We got the Spanish lingo with the American swagger and you guys are mad. Anytime I go to PR there's a fight over a *****'s *****! Most are cool but some, like this ******* here, then wants our respect and love when you come to NY. Out there I got ****ted on for being from NY by this one big mo****a everyone in the caserio was scared of, and I pressed homie, SO WHAT?! I CAN'T CHOOSE TO BE BORN SOMEWHERE! I AM PROUD TO BE AMERICAN AND NUYORICAN! And what he did? He took his **** off and we fought, and I whupped his ****ing ass! We aren't all ****** at all, wtf is this sterotype as on here as if all we do is go around annoying everyone. We are Teachers, Cops, Firefighters, all types of professionals and great caring human beings. I WOULDN'T MIND BEING IGNORED BY AN IGNORANT ******* RICAN LIKE YOURSELF, I SWEAR SOME OF MY OWN PEOPLE ARE CLOWNS.

suk my nuyorican **** ******!!!!!!!


My ****ing family members and friends of my family have died for this country who are from new york and some of you want to talk that stereotype ****?

New york ricans are more humble and respectful than some of the animals en la isla. Seriously, people on here talk as if you've been to both places!!!! I have. Murder everywhere in san juan. People are the same everywhere, wtf! Racist envious putos i swear. Some of you probably didn't even know who was rican or not you don't even know how we look -- we look like all people bc we come black, white, mestizo, indio's... And you would never say this in new york on the 2 or 5 train. Nice and safe behind that pc rah? Son of a ***** you fake ass mexican ***** you don't know **** about culture or love or history that ricans put in in this country. Lol!!! Ever heard of the young lords? Puerto rican civil rights group, the only reason why latinos have equal rights in this country and can even learn english. We fight and die for this country and latin rights in this country since the beginning. We were the original latino immigrant. You ****face.
