Well Puerto Rico is unincorporated U.S. territory, so technically, they're all Americans anyway

So technically America's property. Got ya.

YESSS!!!!! IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. About time Lucas gets hold of a legitimate world title. Hopefully a unification with Cuenca/Yang or Crawford next!

He couldnt beat the champ so this is the only way he is going to get it.

Finally. And now Garcia steps in with the ever dangerous Paulie Malignaggi as his first fight at 147.

Paulie is STILL a descent fighter....can't put him in the same lane as the Willie Monroe Jr's and Nadjib Mohammedi's....Paulie has actually ACCOMPLISHED something in this sport....Swift has many haters....he's proved a lot of dudes wrong on here so they resent him for making them look like they DKSAB

as for Lucas vs Postol....Lucas gonna tear dude up....it won't go past 8 imo

Oky then, I wasn't mean to be offensive but I still find a little funny that title "homecoming" especially after he put one of worst performance on that night.

Nah you wasn't offensive in that manner lol....

Yes "homecoming" for a terrible performance is right. I had the fight 7-5 btw. Razor thin close.

I hope Floyd chooses Danny Garcia, Thurman, or GGG for his final fight. One thing that gets on my last nerve, is the loser getting a shot before the winner, in a championship fight. Alvarado beats Rios, Rios gets a shot at Pacquiao. GGG KO's Geale, Geale gets a shot against Cotto. Danny KO'd Amir Khan, and Amir Khan has failed to get a title @ WW, or even avenge his losses to Garcia and Peterson. He does NOT deserve a shot!

ethnically Garcia is latino

legally garcia is american and probably has dual citizenship if one of his parents is natively from PR

it would be like americans walking around saying theyre german/Swedish/irish/italian

FYI puerto ricans dont have a dual citizenship. They are "already americans" if they were born in PR after a certain year.

[bigjavi973]

He wasn't born or raised over there, he's American.

Yes certain Americans like to claim they're from here or there (Monroe & Quillin the Cubans? "Irish" Mickey Ward?) but at the end of the day they're yanks, especially to those who live in those places they claim.

As we Boricuas say..... Being puerto rican is more than just being born there or living there... it has to run through your blood!

[AgainstTheRopes]

Its an interesting fight and should be competitive. Yeah, Id like to see Garcia in there with better opposition but if he's fighting active enough then I dont have an issue with a fight like this as long as his next fight is better.

Garcia ducked Postol. I knew it.




Mattyhssee is easy work for Postol.



UD Postol. Easy work.

I think Top Rank got options on Postol going back to the Aydin fight that wound up on the JMM-Alvarado card.
