Regarding the well known Tijuana Fighters..

[Tito BHB]

Really quite a small thing but have you ever noticed the style of trunks that a few of them wear?..

They tend to have the two strips down each side..

Erik Morales' trunks look like this..

Antonio Margarito's trunks look like this..

Gamo mentioned that Angulo spars margarito alot and assuming he is also a native of tijuana his trunks are like this also..

Perhaps its absolutely nothingg and a waste of a topic but they all wear the same style trunks i wonder is it for any reason or have any meaning?

[No Contest]

It's kind of like the trim the Mariachi bands and Bands like Los Tucanes de Tijuana. I think it looks cool when the colors arent like powder blue and yellow

[:::PSL:::]

There's a conspiracy behind it.

Angulos from Mexicali, B.C. a neighboring city of Tijuana.

so does edwin valero i think

[donnydarkoIRL]

Many of the Mexican Fighters do.

Also if you watch some of Gatti's fights he copied the Mexican style.

Mexico still holds that style, it's like their national traditional dress for big occassions and although it no longer appears today, they retain it, just as the Irish retain their ties with Guiness and Shamrocks for tourism.

Yeah bro i think it is more generally mexican.. If not really more so just maybe hispanic in general..

I noticed further more this is the style of israel vasquez's trunks also..

and he is Mexico City.. so.. perhaps not tijuana based as such

In Cancun, all the Mexican bands are like that apparantly, it's just national pride, like Duddy with the shamrocks.

I was in Tijuana once when I was younger, want to go back badly!

[ElTerribleMorales]

it's just the traditional style of trunks from mexico, even Chavez used them, it's true that he would make his own stamp on them later, by having JC Chavez down the side but still had the general style, Arce wears them, so does Montiel and Barrera at times

Valero trains in their Tokyo gym.

I was thinking about joining the Osaka gym but that was scrapped when I found a gym right next to my new apartment.

Yeahh they are kinda like updated new style chavez trunks..

To be honest it could just be that fact really couldnt it.. Chavez wore that style and now so does everyone. Lol
