Comments Thread For: Gamboa: I Knew Abril Would Win, Rios is One-Dimensional

[deleted]

Oh, really? While it's true that many futbol-loving countries haven't won World Cups, many have at least made the quarterfinals. The Netherlands, for instance, have been runners-up on three occasions, and have been in the final four a total of four times. So, you were saying?

(And if you backtrack, you will see that my very factual comments were posted to correct a ridiculous post against Cubans by another member.)

ask them if they care about their finals appearances. nobody remembers. only you. wikipedia searcher.

present is different. Mexico is winning youth world cups. future bright.

Nobody remembers? The only people who don't are those that don't want to. Youth championships? Bright future? Yeah...okay. We're talking about the World Cup and it's history here. Get back to me when you win one...or even place, big guy.

And as for Gamboa, he kicks everyone's ass at 126...everyone's....

gamboa was right... but still, he's a b!tch...

There are several identifiable reasons why Cubans aren't as much into boxing as Mexicans and even Filipinos. I've participated several times in such discussions here over the years, so I'm not in the mood right now. Suffice it to say that Mexicans have had the opportunity to fight professionally for decades, therefore building a strong interest in the sport. The Filipinos have Pacquiao. A superstar like that tends to rally his people in great numbers.




Cubans are not interested in futbol, so that point is completely irrelevant. Any pursuit Cubans have ever cared about we've excelled at. Baseball is a passion in Cuba, and we've produced great athletes and teams. Futbol is a passion in Mexico. Please tell me how many World Cup titles Mexico has won? How many finals has she reached? How many semi-finals? Quarterfinals? I'll wait....

You say that you follow boxing and that you know the sport better than most Cubans you know. So why is it that you make the ridiculously ignorant statement that we produce "nobodies in boxing"? Cuba has several ATGs and Hall of Famers, despite being excluded from professional boxing for decades. We have Gamboa, Lara, Rigondeaux and Hernandez, among others. And let's not even talk about amateur boxing. Cuba has been the juggernaut in international amateur boxing for many years.

Haha relax I didnt mean that statement for you. Cuba has the best amature boxing and and a powerhouse in baseball so slow your roll mr cubano

But if you want to talk ****....

Just remember.your boy casamayor getting taxed by JMM

[mex602]

if you really think that Mexico is a boxing power house it's only because Cubans weren't aloud to fight in professional boxing. if we were to have the opportunity to fight more freely in professional boxing it would be a different story. i feel like over the years in boxing we would have more champions than any other country. just my opinion not a fact of course.

Would of could have should have blah blah blah

[mex602]

Oh no she didn't!! Lmao. This clown attacking a country and it's people.

That was a low blow....
