New Member and Can We................................

[loui_ludwig]

I am a new member here. Filipino from Los Angeles.

Concerning the discussion on the thread "Poll: Juan Manuel Marquez VS. Manny Pacquiao WHO YOU THINK WON THE FIGHT??".

First, One of the judges admitted he scored the fight 10-7 instead of 10-6, but the fight was over a year ago, it is officially a draw. Only a rematch can prove whose the real winner.

Second, the members in here are proud to be Filipinos, Americans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and other nationalities/races. Please stop putting down each other races over whose better, producer, or champions in boxing.

Lets compare Mexico and Philippines.

Diffirence:
1)the language

Similarities:
1)Both Mexicans and Filipinos are hard worker. Due to the economic situation of both countries, Mexicans go to the US to look for job while the Filipinos goes to the middle east, Hongkong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Europe. Why, to give their families a better stable future. If there are lazy mexicans or filipinos because they were americanized.
2.Both countries are catholics, got ruled by Spain, and both have fiestas. Even some of the cultures are probably the same.
3. Both like boxing.
Now to the Bad Similarities:
1. Corruptions in the government, military, and police.
2. Have drug problems, poverty, prostitution, and other crimes.
3. Both Filipinos and Mexicans are too proud of each others nationalities that they bashed each other for no reason.

Third, and lastly, about reasons why a country has produce more champions or fighters in the top 10 ratins.
1. Interest of the people in boxing. In Mexico, boxing is up there in soccer. In Philippines, basketball is #1 followed by boxing.
2. Support of the people. As far as how far does a promoter is willing to expose their fighters to people watching the boxing fight. Also the support of the government and community to provide boxing programs to interest more people to become boxer, whether for amateur or professiona careers.
3. Location. Since the United States is the main ground for big time boxing, which ever country is the nearest to the US, will get more exposure. Europe is 2nd main ground, after that none.

If you want to say something about how proud you are about your nationality, go ahead and post it, but don't thrash the others.

Just an opinion.

And in the words of Rodney King, CAN WE JUST ALL GET ALONG.

Great first post my man, welcome to Boxingscene.

[El Jesus]

Its worse when your black because when you have at least 100 elite atheletes in every sport with the exception of hockey, nobody comes out to support you in the boxing world unless your a super draw like Tyson/Rjj. But almost all other nationalities get huge turnouts.

Welcome to BScene!

Yes, there are racial tussles on these pages, but if one looks closely, the fellas who engage in them constitute the minority, albeit, the most vocal ones.

Having said that, it would trully be great if all forms of racial slurs are totally eliminated. Boxing, in spite of the corruption in many levels, continue to be, by and large, a ********ic sport. It opens its doors to all races and all economic strata. More than any sport that quickly comes to mind, boxing is the most hospitable to the hopes and ambitions of the poorest, even as it demands more from individual participants such virtues as fortitude, courage, and perseverance over and on top of skills.

The poor of any nation or state-- be that first-, second-, or third-world-- are offered chances in boxing that they can scarcely find in most other sports.

Good to have you here, loui!

Note: It seems that boxing in recent years has over-taken basketball in the Philippines. I've learned that the top Filipino basketball league, the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA)-- which is the country's microcosm of the NBA-- has been slumping for about four or five years now. It has problems at the gates and, where once upon a time it was the biggest tv draw, it has been relegated to a minor network and is scraping the barrel for sponsorship. Lesser leagues are in worse plight.

On the other hand, boxing shows are sprouting all over the place, particularly in boxing-batty Cebu and Metro Manila, where sponsors are reportedly shoving each other for exposure.

2nd note: With the little history I've learned, I remember that Mexico and the Philippines trace back its friendship to hundreds of years before the birth of the United States. As early as the 1600's, there was the Galleon Trade: ships regularly plied between Manila and Acapulco.

Moreover, a Filipino named Rodriguez who is credited in many books as having helped found Los Angeles (yes, THAT Los Angeles!), went to California by way of Mexico.

Pac man won the first fight and he has improved and has been more active so he would win the rematch. Peace
