Saddo Mexicans, help me out...

Do yall really like ODLH?

I'm in Houston (very heavy Mexican population) and I distinctly remember being in middle school around the Chavez fight and my friends families rooting for Chavez and cursing at ODLH for beating up an old Chavez. Then I remember him fighting Trinidad when I was in high school. I missed the fight and came to school that Monday and all my Mexican friends told me that the fight was a rip off and that it was boring. Then I remember being in college during the Vargas fight and my friend's dad told me that Oscar was a white boy and that he'd had a kid with some blonde Miss USA. I remember laughing my ass off because I thought he was lying about the white girl and he kept calling Oscar a gringo and saying that Vargas was gonna bust that ass. Little did he know that Vargas would get KTFO. Now I'm watching the Mayweather fight remembering the past yet seeing all this support for ODLH and I think to myself: Do the Mexicans really like ODLH or do they just support him now because he's a high profile Mexican and they feel obligated to?

8) Talking for myself I gave Oscar his props after he beat Gonzalez! What a jab no I wasn't a fan I went against him with Chavez against him with Ruelas as well as Hernandez because he would have them put on weight to fight him for their belts and they all did it for the money. He never fought Kosta Tszyu as he was saying he would either.

CC for the real talk bro! i got hella hella latino homiez all my life growing up and they all basically said/feel everything that you covered.

im just surprised that i not even being latino myself, was the only one bothered by oscar. i feel like michael moore in farenheight 911 lol

actually in 24hrs bro karma!

I am not a ODLH fan.
Women are more down with Oscar than the guys.

I have never rooted for Oscar until last night.

I should not be obligated to like a fighter becuase of their race or skin color.

Cotto is not Mexican and I root for him :)

I don't know why I don't like Oscar. He is a good role model.
He is polite and well spoken. He stays out of trouble.
He markets himself well.

Again, I have no clue why I don't like him. I just don't.

I hate Oscar. But I aint a Mexican. I'm a halfbreed Mexi-Rican. Do I count? ??? ;D

You are correct,,,Good Role Model,,,Well Spoken,,Markets himself well,,,stays out of trouble,,,

Something about him is phoney

I'm not a 100% Mexican but ...... let me give u my 2 cents... I've always been on his side... I remember when he fought Chavez ( 1st fght) I was among a crowd of 30 people ( mexicans) and I was the only one cheering for De La Hoya.... I feel that he deserves to be where he is..... ;)

Hi Diasan - good to see you back.

:coolclick: Very well said.

...but...most of the Latino's that I know loathe Oscar for what he did to Chavez.

Is it a Mexican Macho thing ?

I have never been massive on Oscar but one night i sat downon youtube and watched his fights all night and remembered all the times i stayed up late to watch him and i remember thinking , fuck he has had some great fights and been a massive plus for boxing .

He was a little bit too cleancut for alot of people who like their macho men but look at his career from the Gold Medal to now he has got to be regarded as an inspiration for all fighter for forging his own path , remember alot of fighters got exposure and money they'd never have gotten not fighting Oscar .



I think for a lotof Fans it was his not taking Boxing seriously and going off to record his own Album that finally down for him in alot of peoples eyes .

Remember him for that last round against Quartey , the Left hook and uppercut that stopped Chavez, the Mosely war , the Aniticpation forthe Tito fight , Knocking Vargas out and Marorga .

I don't think he is a little bit of an introvert but a heck of a fighter when the camera is constantly on you it's hard not to make mistake and he's made pretty few , if your raising kids you say , Son thats how you deal with Aggression - Oscar style and then show him a video of the Vargas fight .
