      They're no dumber than school rivalries, team rivalries, or town rivalries. It adds ****e to certain clashes. What's dumb is when people take it to an extreme, like it's some kind of war or something.

Miami fans just don't care.

        Let's see what the Barthelemy-Mendez fight at Miami Beach looks like. You going, bro?
        Yea, I will be working the corner in one of the undercards. That's not until July though right?

            I'm guessing cause the Yankees are more main stream. I had a Yankees shirt in Cuba since I was 9. Guess who my team was when I got to the States?

              I guess. This was a topic of conversation just recently with my dad and uncle (who's visiting from the island). Everyone loves a winner....

                Are you paying to get in? They usually give me tickets and I can't ever use all of them, you should hit me up and I might be able to throw some your way. I have to check with the promoter though, but just throwing it out there.

                    To be Cuban, it means quality | Diamond
                    To be Mexican, it means quantity | Gold

                    I prefer quality over quantity all the way, I enjoy watching boxers from Cuba, they are real artists !

                      I'm still asking myself why the hell the Barthelemy fight is on a freaking Thursday. Not to mention Lara fights on the 12th so Cubans are gonna be gone to Vegas most likely.
