Puerto Rican Prospects...

[My Name Is...]

They're looking for the next Trinidad and trying to get that exposure ASAP at the cost of thesef fighters smh

Excuses, excuses, excuses. PR boxers arent what they used to be. If they have any potential they get fed with a golden spoon. Then they get inflated egos. Then they get hand fed bums to build up a PR backing. And the sign of their first big test, the get beat or knocked out. This is the story of Mama Lopez' career.

Na I don't think that is the case in the majority of these boxers...I don't think Chavez Jr. was starving and had to turn pro to earn money for his family

Yea, because every Mexican fighter in Mexico has no struggles, and come up wealthy. Did you forget how rich of a country Mexico is? Smh.....

Marquez said it better than I could, "you can get completely discouraged or become a better fighter." It's up to the fighter himself choose.

Only a weak fighter will get so discouraged that he won't allow his full potential shine and if he lets a lone defeat stop him, then he is in the wrong profession.

Not all PR fighters coming up had a great amateur ranking either or got paid to represent the country. They are just being mismanaged by greedy promoters and management. Some of these fighters will get discouraged and never reach their full potential because of it

The typical Puerto Rican hater...alot of people have struggles. If everyone that struggles turned to boxing for a way out there be alot of middle eastern champions right now. So you are saying they are not being mismanaged and its all excuses, you're IQ isn't that great is it? Man you are pretty ******

Look at WV2 he lost against Arce but you could clearly see he improved when he went in against Donaire. It's hard for any one to stay in their with donaire 12 rounds and WV2 did it and busted donaire's face up worse than anyone else.

Watch out for WV2 if he fights Juanma, it's over for juanma I can tell you that much.

So the love of your life got f0cked by a rican, fell in love and lived happily ever after...true story.

Mexican prospects have it the toughest tbh. They fight to live, eat, support their families etc. They'll fight anyone and everyone, when you see an undefeated Mexican then you know he's got something about him.

On the other end of the scale you have the British prospects. Most are protected to keep that 0 so they go domestic > European > World, so it's a long road and you have to keep the fans interested. But by stalling their progression and not giving them tough tasks, their abilities may begin to stagnate and they never reach their potential.

I think this loss does Dulorme a world of good, even more so than if he had beaten Abregu. He'll come back much stronger.

What about canelo..or chavez jr?

Who is managing these guys? The only one that is being moved up correctly is Pedraza and to be honest he is the least skilled out of the recent ones that have fought.

Luis Orlandon Del Valle: Got his ass handed to him by Darchynian. Who approved of this fight or even thought the kid was ready? Not only is Vic akward but he can punch and has ton of experience.

Thomas Dulorme: One of the most skilled of the bunch. Boxed pretty good but had never faced a big puncher like Abregu. One of the worst decisions in match making. Fought a guy with 33-1 with 27 ko's which only had one last and it was a UD to Tim Bradley. This matchup reminded me when they fed David Reid to Felix Trinidad so early

I think Puerto Ricans should look at the way Mexicans bring up their fighters (Chavez Jr/ Canelo Alvarez) these recent matchups are ridiculous

I like the way that those Ricans build they resume rather that the way of canelo or chavez..I m not a Puerto Rican hater( actually I like they fighters most of the time) but I can't see what you see, dulorme looked ready to me in his last fight..and this dude abregu is not a world beater..I don't gave abregu any chance against any top fighter..the kid just got caught with a good punch, that happen..the only thing that I see in dulorme is that he is young he can learn some defence..but he won't learn to have a better chin...I hope he come bach better he have a beautiful style..

Lol..this is a funny one...

Actually Cuban that wasn't for you it was for the hater Htown who never gives any PR fighters credit because he's insecure. Dulorme was not ready for such an opponent. He could have fought someone with less fights not one that has 2X the amount of fights he has and a KO ratio of 82% and only lost to Bradley. You might not give Abregu a chance against any top fighter but Dulorme was not a top fighter just yet and will probably never will be now

And to answer Htown Juanma's coming out party was when he KO'd Ponce De Leon in one round for the super bantamweight title or did you choose to forget
