Can Mexican fighters change their "mindless brawler" image?

[Deevel916]

The media has pinned that image unfairly on Mexican fighters, especially HBO. They tell the public that mindless brawling is the "Mexican style" but that couldn't be further from the truth. Watch the Morales vs. Barrera trilogy. The fights were exciting but I would not consider them all out brawls. Both fighters were very tactical in their approach and the fights were high speed chess matches which are the best fights to watch, IMO.

What disgusted me was how the HBO commentators were trashing the second fight because it was fought at a slower pace. They completely ignored the adjustments both fighters made from their first fight and Merchant especially, was critical of both fighters.

The way Mexican fighters can change their mindless brawler image is by getting ring announcers who actually know what they are watching and can educate the audience of what the fighters are doing in the ring.

I wouldn't say that the media and HBO associate the Mexican fighting style with "mindless brawling". When they talk about the Mexican fighting style, they talk more about the bravery in which they fight. It has nothing to do with being mindless. Mexican fighters usually fight back when hurt instead of retreating, running, holding, etc..

All I know is the Mexican fighters of this generation need to grow some balls. Morales and Barrera made me fall in love with boxing. Then I watch the pathetic efforts from Canelo and Rios in their fights against May and Pac, and Leo Santa Cruz turning into a woman by avoiding Rigo and it all just makes me sad.

Yeah.. Lol @ HBO hyping a broadcast with the words "mindless brawling". If you're going to be on HBO, you better provide some action - that only translates into "mindless brawling" if the viewer would rather watch marathons with single digit output.

They were EXTREMELY critical during the early rounds of Barrera vs. Morales 2 because both fighters were using their heads like it was something out of the ordinary. Instead of educating the audience about why the fight was being fought at a slower pace they criticized the HOF fighters on their approach.
