puerto rico - 62-48-1

now, that's a real rivalry!!!

I agree 100%. I'm a huge sports fan, of many sports. In football, for instance, (American, that is)... I'm a Steeler fan and I intensely dislike the Dallas Cowboys. When they play each other, I get pretty psyched up. But for sheer excitement and the kind of rivalry that gets your heart pumping at 100 mph, NOTHING beats a championship fight between a Puerto Rican and a Mexican fighter. And it's been that way for many, many years. One thing we can both boast about is having a magnificent and storied boxing past (and present). And looking forward to many more years of the same intense rivalry.
