This is why Andy Ruiz Jr is Mexico's first heavyweight champion

[billeau2]

He likes it so much he lives in California.

For the record douche bag, we still claim this state.

Say what you want about the incredibly boring and uninteresting fly over states, and the east coast. Fair enough if you don't want, like proud chest pounding Mexican pride Aztecs or whatever in those areas, but the southwest is ours.

We can be proud, and show allegiance to Mexico and move about the southwest because in our eyes...this still belongs to us.

So Andy is proud, and Andy is home. Cali = Mexico.

Lol your ridiculous. YOu can claim anything you want. I claim Jackie Onassis' Fifth avenue Apartment, I was born near it! I passed it everyday and established squatters rights! You think anyone gives a flying Fvk? No the SouthWest is not yours. This is America.

And Ruiz has every right to be a proud Mexican warrior because a warrior's home is where he hangs his hat. But it does not change the fact that whether he is a citizen of both countries, or not, he has American citizenship.

Texas and California are great because they once belonged to Mexico? is that what you think? Not because people from all over the USA, primarily the East Coast migrated there and established Hollywood and Silicon Valley, no you think its because it once belonged to Mexico?

Talk about being delusional. The reason you live in California and not the fly over states is because it was the closest state to Mexico where you could jump the border.

I got a newsflash for you, California culture is American culture, because you know California belongs to AMERICA. So take that Mexican flag and shove it up your ass. There is a reason you're speaking to me in English and not the other way around, and that is because you are living in MY country, and not that sh45t hole you jumped the border to get away from.

California, Texas grew up to be incredibly different than the rest of Flyover Amurica. Think about it. Why? Because the Spanish/Mexican influence laid down the roots and foundatioin for what would become LOS ANGELES, SAN DIEGO, SAN FRANCSICO, SAN JOSE, ETC. These places grew up with flavor, not like the rest of the country.

If not, these places would be another boring town named Winchester, Wilshire, etc. Imagine instead of San Francisco, it was called Patsville, or lamesville Lol.

Why are you even on a boxing forum you sister ***ing hillbilly?

Get your yeehaahhh phagggt ass over to the NASCAR forum.

By the way, I would love to guess what boring shiiiit state produced a hillbilly like you. Let me guess, Arkansas? Lol

A lot of confusion here about Andy.

So, let's talk about it because the Americans are quick to claim him.

He's a Mexican that was born in California, but bounced back and forth between Imperial Valley and Mexicali.

s.

ok he is 100% american, thanks for clearing that up 👍😃

[microMXL]

I have a close friend from Mexicali who I talked to about this after the fight and a lot of kids go to high school and were born in the U.S. but live their lives at home, with their parents and just cross the border every morning.

Pretty common actually, heck my sister was born in San Luis Obispo CA and has lived most of her life here in Mexicali, right now she is working in El Centro, but still goes to college in MXL

Ok, so Americans in the military stationed in South Korea who have children born in South Korea are having Korean children.

Lol

He's actually both.

Antonio Margarito is also "American" fyi since he was born in the states lol

[microMXL]

ruiz is as mexican as chevy chase 😝

[Cutthroat]

Genetically Ruiz is probably more European than Mexican or at least 50/50, most Mexican Americans are. So technically he's european! But really though it doesn't matter.

[KING MEAT]

his ethnic background is mexican. AMERICA would never claim lol so keep him lol

You are so lost lol. It's all good though, can be confusing.

Genetically, Mexican isn't anything. It's a country.

Mexicans are a mix of European and Amerindian, just like most of Latin America.

What you meant to say was Andy is more European genetically than Amerindian from the America's AKA Aztec/Mayan.

Myself, I'm Mexican, but my DNA tests showed I was close to 50% Iberian/Southern European and 45% Amerindian. 5% rest of the world. So my descendants were both from Spain and from the Americas, Aztec or some other native cultures.

Canelo/Andy/Louis Ck/Guillermo Del Toro/Oscar De La Hoya are all Mexicans who have way more European blood.

George Lopez/Fernando Vargas/Machete lol/Marquez/Barrera are all Mexicans that are more mixed or have more Amerindian blood.

Both groups above are all Mexican.
