You are about to get hurt.

Nice, but my points aren't on linguistical theory. I'm making fun of a poster whose continual subliminal messages to disregard ''black'' boxers in this sport or accuses other posters of hating on a Kazahkstani boxer because his skin color is similar to anglo-saxon trait mythology (exclusively on NSB).

More importantly, Argentinians have a known history of being a highly racist country towards ''blacks.'' This isn't uncommon in many South American territories or central such as Mexico's ''Guerrero'' state. It is also documented that Argentinian culture tried its best to remove ''blackness'' from its culture. Historians in Argentina play it off as the new ''migration'' to other territories had nothing to do with discrimination towards blacks. Same way American History books over a century of ''knowledge'' washed out the reality that natives were ''dealt'' with.

So in a nutshell, Maxi is gay.

Agreed! There is plenty of racism everywhere and Latin America is no exception. A lot of people have bought into the notion that white skin or lighter skin color is "better." The irony of Argentina's racism it that one of their national icons and best boxer, Carlos Monzon, was not white.

twisting what facts? Learn to read out of context. The writer of this article blatantly wrote that Ward is not focused on the stories regarding, what, gloves, or general hype? This article is bait for metaphorical misguidedness.

What's the question that Ward was asked? Is it possible that the question wasn't added in this article on purpose? For instance, ''Ward, there's been rumours, talk, some minor contraversy about Kovalev's gloves or how he prepares in the dressing room before a fight...'' Ward answers in general, ''man...I don't care about any of that.''

If anybody is twisting shıt, it's the writer of this article, the same way NSB said that Marquez thinks there's a ''conspiracy'' simply when Marquez said ''they want Golovkin to...'' which means who? Roy Jones Jr., Kellerman, HBO employees?

but its cool if you still want to act coy and naive about you not insinuating a ''race thing.'' Your habits are familiar around here...and you wonder why guys like Freedom had got banned

I know what they mean by that.

After Kovalev is wrapped and gloved-up..

He gets down on the floor and does push ups on his knuckles...compressing the gloves and the wrapping.

Dirty as hell move.

HBO would be all over that if one of his opponents was caught on camera doing that.

If Canelo looked like the typical mestizo,he'd be fighting in a bull ring when he's not washing dishes at McDonalds.

Creating another myth I see. Now Kovalev gloves are loaded. Ask the brother about it and they will say he is suspect. So is Golovkin.

did you even read the article? geezaloo

The video interview is on this site. People should go listen to it before commenting on this article. It may help form a better, less biased opinion. I didn't get the impression that he was accusing Kov of anything dirty. In fact, he says that he doesn't care. As far as the actual comment, I assumed he was talking about punching power. Kov has not been accused of doing anything dirty as far as I know and both boxers have respect for each other as competitors. They have both stated this. People who are trying to blow this up kinda come off as anti-Ward people and nitpicking one clause out of an entire interview of showing respect to his opponent. Get it together, people..

[Kigali]

You're a racist prick. You call Mayweather and Ward fans APES. He doesn't have to try and convince anyone, all anyone has to do is google it and see that Argentina is a racist shithole.

I don't care if he has power

is not the same than

I don't care what's in his gloves

Get it? Ward is just being Ward. As I wrote above, this go in the same direction than:

1) Kovalev is a bully etc...
2) The russians are coming to steal what's ours.

The problem with these articles is that they never include the questions that are asked, I'm willing to bet anything the subject of Kovalev's gloves was brought up in a question.... in that case Ward's response is exactly what you want to hear.
