    But cong**** on his win, hope he gets to keep it.
    That's just being ignorant.

    I was born in Dominican Republic, but was raised here in New York since I was 2 months old. My parents are both Dominican, I speak both English and Spanish. I'm 100% Dominican even if I was raised here my whole life. Only thing is my English is better than my Spanish, and I don't know the DR national anthem or any history of DR. But that doesn't change that I was born there, to 100% Dominican parents.

      I said SOMEONE said he never rep'ed the flag BEFORE. The dude doesn't speak English and was born in the states... he ain't no latino to me. Only latino thing on him is his name.

        Not sure if serious or not but..

        I respectfully disagree. You have a semblance of DR in you but you're not from DR. You're an american. You were raised in the american system, enjoying all it's freedoms and customs. You have american values imbued with you're parents values from DR.

            Don't forget Theophane. Though some think he lost. haven't seen the fight in awhile.

            Would have to watch it again.

              Lol, man, Americans don't consider us Hispanics as one of theirs. When I walk in the street, i'm just another Hispanic. You don't get treated like an American, you get treated like a Hispanic. Cops see you as a Hispanic, the law sees you as a Hispanic. A hispanic is a hispanic until she/he's far far removed from them even in appearance. Police gonna look at you like a Sp*c. But okay whatever you say.

                Danny "Swift" Garcia beats Erik "El Terrible" Morales.

                Sure looks good on a resume...

                  Kinda like when Kostya beat Chavez Sr.

                  Though Garcia-Morales was a little more competitive.

                    Don't forget Ashley Theopane, and to a lesser extent Mike Arnoutis.

                      Not that I disagree with this statement but that says more about american culture than you being from any other place. In fact, the fact you acknowledge this behavior in the USA just shows how you're part of the culture.

                      But we can agree to disagree.
