Why no habla Maidana?

[killersheep]

No habla cause he's too big of a risk for any of the top guys. It sucks that the rankings are absolutly worthless and fighters and promoters can pick and choose (even though only one fighter get's blamed for what they all do). He really doesn't bring anything to the table right now except that he's a pretty bad ass dude that wins. Walk around town and just say his name and people will think you're cussing at them. Outside of us no one knows who the hell he is. Sucks cause that shouldn't matter. I say alexander beats his ass though.

To be fair he's been on HBO a few times now and always puts on a good show. People will remember his performances against Ortiz and Cayo (Assuming they tuned in, in the first place)

Can someone answer why they call him "Chino"? Is he of Chinese origin?

He just looks Chinese, it's a cultural thing. He actually looks like he's Thai to me.

Enjoyed the fight... Maidana should dominate the division for some time to come. I also couldn't help noticing how Maidana seems to fit the mold of most Argentinian fighters. Tough, burly, hard-punching, not very smooth style. It makes for exciting fights. You rarely see a boring chess match of a fight when an Argentinian is involved.

Hey... how 'bout Maidana-Hatton?

Other than El Maravilla of course.

So, what you are saying if I follow, is that it is like white people in the US referring to all Latinos as Mexicans...
