Los hermanos mexicanos son unos chingones aguante mexico arriba latinoamerica unida! ✊
💯❤🇵🇷🤝🇲🇽
Mexicans have aztec blood puerto ricans have taino blood both are indigenous to this land. Both showed warrior spirit when the europeans invaded. Pretty much it was germs that killed these mighty tribes. The warrior spirit lives on especially through boxing.
I've studied your histories. Mejora la Raza has taken over both societies. So now y'all are mostly Caucasian now. Through colonialism and the caste system you can see the indigenous features fading fast.
@@terrancemccray6704Shut up smoke thug .🙄🤷😂
I've been to Yankees vs red Sox, celtics vs lakers but nothing compares to fight night Mexico vs pr. Its a crazy energy but all love.
VIVA LA MEXICO 🇲🇽 VIVA LA PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷 MUCHO LOVE ❤ AND RESPECT FROM CANADA 🇨🇦 ✌🏿
Always loved talking about boxing with my PR friends and in Chicago. Much admiration for the PR boxers.
👏🏽!
Beautifully said. It's such a cool connection between PR and MEX.. It's special to witness it. 🇵🇷
Pure boxing class.
Que viva Puerto Ricoooooooo 🇵🇷
Viva su padre eterno 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Is sad that now our puerto rican brothers are lack of good boxers, the island brought us great warriors who gave wars to the relentless mexican boxers, saludos desde tierras aztecas a todos los boricuas.
Si bro... a la unica Raza que le temo es a los boricuas locos
@@adanguzman7733 ya tenemos uno que esta subiendo bien se llama Xander Zayas, es prospecto del año y solo tiene 20 años tiene buen futuro, ya pronto veremos esa pelea, y Shakur no se si cuenta como boricua
@@Andres-kw3flsubriel Matias ese es el verdadero mostró y entrena en México y los a noqueado a todos y mato a uno en el ring
Ohhhhhh todavia existe la rivalidad, ya este año hemos tenido unas guerras entre 🇵🇷 vs 🇲🇽 pero despues 🫱🏼🫲🏽 de corazon
Only thing about PR is there's always a 10+ year wait for their next great champion, with USA and Mexico it's always next man up..
Yes as a Mexican I wish PR can rise again to give our guys great exciting matchups that will go down in history
PR is a very small island (100 miles by 35 miles)... For every 1 boxer in PR, there are 30 in Mexico, the chances of a good prospect is higher, the more you have. Yes there are many Puerto Ricans born in the US, but the culture of how they are raised is very different, just as the MANY mexicans born in the US, they don't really share that pure culture as those in the main land. I'm not saying, they're all like that, because some do embrace their heritage, but the life style is very different.
@@ADRzonebuddy why isn’t China or India on top then?? Low IQ logic
We have 3 million ppl total on the island Mexico has 127 million people of course they will have more champions
The Best Rivalry In Boxing ! 🇵🇷🇲🇽🇵🇷🇲🇽🇵🇷🇲🇽🇵🇷🇲🇽
Mexico vs Japan is the best!
We both treat boxing like our religon lolz.
??where’s the rivalry?
@@bbarajas208 Glad to see you start to get it, champ. 👍
@@nelson1.o I don’t…I really don’t..what Puerto Rican champ is out there?
Boripatos are always going to be our kids 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
MEXICAN STYLE the best🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Philippines vs Mexico. Please
Simple they are both warriors
And let’s remember Puerto Rico is 100 miles by 35 miles
Let's also remember that Puerto Rico has a leg up on Mexico and has an advantage to succeed because of their daddy the USA.
Also Let’s not forget the some of the greatest Puerto Ricans boxers were born in the USA which is larger than Mexico if that’s where you’re point is going haha but yeah I respect them boxers but Mexico 🇲🇽 we carry that warrior blood
We know bro we Mexicans have much respect for Puerto Rican boxers
Lets not forget most mexicans masked they ped use with iv canelo valdez margacheato
@@Worldclassboxin let's not forget the original Margacheato that would be the Boricua Luis Resto😯.
loved this
puerto rico is currently in a slump because they don't have a big star rn hopefully someone can step up and we can get more badass fights
We have a few great looking ones right now well I guess up and coming besides shakur stevenson that is a star in the making then we have Xander zayas, Abraham nova, moncho lebron, and Omar Rosario
We Got Amanda
@@waxabi2336 Shakur Stevenson is African American
@@TopHour he's partially Puerto Rican. I think his dad is Puerto Rican or something.
@@JSicario318 Puerto Rican is NOT a Race… his dad is from Puerto Rican and has African genes just like African Americans… what separates African Americans and Afro Puerto Ricans is Culture… Shakur was raced by his African American mom and trained by his African American grandfather and raised in a African American city/neighborhood…. There is Nothing about him that’s Puerto Rican
Honestly?! Because we go at it and don’t give a sh** We just wanna get down to see who’s gonna hit the canvas. and give the world a goooood fight 🤷🏼♂️🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊 #MEXICANWARRIOR!
RIP HECTOR MACHO MAN CAMACHO✌🏿❤🇨🇦
Macho Camacho is Puerto Rican.
I love this ralvery ! 💪🏽!! Salute to 🇵🇷🇲🇽! It’s so exciting! 😁
BORICUA BOXING BEST,.😎👊🏼💥💯
No disrespect to the puerican fighters but they just dont make them like they used too.. like trinidad, cotto.. those guys didn’t need to talk shit to smash guys.. they were humble warriors.. now they got dudes like josue vargas running his mouth and getting knocked the fuck out .. ima always respect the old school boricuas.. and im mexican 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 Viva mexico !!!
They lack of discipline Xander Zayas keep a eye on him
You can say that for both sides
One guy josue Vargas basically a kid foo ranked 56 in the world at the time vs 3 in the world zepeda cmon there’s a rican named subriel matias ranked 5 in the world zepeda could’ve fought
Fk Vargas! As a PR he was a disgrace and mouth warriors always get humbled. At the end of the day, we got chit chatters and real ones like everybody else.
Lo mejor
More more of this hook
After Chavez beat Camacho they partied for like 5 days in an alcohol and drugs infused binge. Love and respect for one another. Its never personal. Mi Gente!
Is that Ryan Leaf at 4:05
De mexico... respecto PR
🔥🇵🇷🥊🇵🇷🥊🇵🇷🥊🔥
Most not all Puerto Ricans (US born boxers) like to run their mouth and can’t walk that talk 💅
Says the angry Mexican 🤣😂
They pluck their eyebrows too
And ya short 🤣😂
@@aaronx8006 Average Puerto Rican height is 5’3 😬
@@rundemcheeks1639 nope that’s Mexicans 🤣
🔥🔥🔥🔥
2 Mexican boxers that the best for me are : J.M Marquez &Margarito 🇦🇫 1 Puerto rico the best for me is Miguel Cotto🇵🇷
Marquez I understand, but MargaCHEATo?? Really??
As of May 2022 the record stands 71-57-2 and 2 no contests!!! 🇵🇷🥇🥊💣🇵🇷🥇🥊💣🇵🇷🥇🥊💣🇵🇷🥇🥊💣
🇵🇷 has been ahead since the 1930s💪🏽.
312 champions and no boxers on top charts 12 champion currently boripatos you guys are outnumbered 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🤣🤣🤣🤣🇲🇽
@@GoatBoat22 out numbered who? Where are you getting your information from? 🤣. y’all have 9 current champions . Canelo and benevidez are the only good ones the other ones are suspects🤣. stop lying y’all have 200 champs🤣. 🇲🇽 created over 9000 boxers in boxing history ! Where as 🇵🇷 only 2000 so of course 🇲🇽 is going to be ranked higher then 🇵🇷 it’s common sense bro but y’all still losing to us in the rivalry and🇵🇷 has more champions per capital ranking #1🌎😤💪🏽 if yall even know what that means. 🇲🇽 don’t rank #1 no where in boxing y’all rank #2.🇵🇷 broke way more boxing records then 🇲🇽 look at our Wikipedia. 🇵🇷 are the only island that rank # 5 globally 🌎 the others are large countries like 🇲🇽. What saves y’all is the large 🇲🇽population which is about 126 million compare to the tiny island of 🇵🇷 which is about 4 million. So where is the logic there? 🇵🇷 is a tiny spec on this earth and we still dominating 🇲🇽 in many things ranking higher and breaking more 🌎 records. So stop with the bloated ego because in reality we own y’all and y’all don’t even realize it 🤣😤🇵🇷💪🏽🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷.

ALL ABOUT FELIX TITO TRINIDAD ❤🥊
Wilfredo Gomez is my favourite puerto rican fighter of all time
im assuming cuz its a Top Rank production but the facts that Canelo and Andy Ruiz wasnt on this irritates the shit outta me
Hi
TOP RANK IS RACE BAITERS FOR THIS‼️💯‼️

Im filipino but mexico is the best!!!!
Thank you 😊

Berlanga vs canelo 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Cáñelo would demolished the Puerto Rican 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
The rivalries dead bruh p.r hasn’t produced any good boxers in years. Mexico always gonna be the A side along with America because they never stop producing fighters throughout history.
Well no shit there’s like 3 million ppl living in a small island called pr meanwhile USA and Mexico got over 100 million ppl that’s why dummy
@@moralesxavier777 u sound dumb. I bet u probably don’t watch soccer but in soccer there’s small countries that compete with power houses. Uruguay a country of 3-4 million has won it twice and are still really good. Iceland qualified for the World Cup with a population of 100-200 thousand! And soccer is way tougher to compete because it’s the most popular sport in the world, meaning even more competition. What u are saying are excuses. In Mexico not even 1% of people box. U make it seem like 100million Mexicans box 😂 don’t hate bruh that’s y’all fault. Produce more fighters simple 🤷🏽♂️ I can guarantee if Cuba wasn’t the way it is they’ll be producing elite fighters non stop. Stop using excuses
Pwede po Kami humingi nang tulong SA inyo Kasi po nagkasakit ang anak KO.
This rivalry is not the same today there is not 1 active Puerto Rican boxing champion in any division ..can’t keep up 🇲🇽 💯
Yes it is his name is Bomba Gonzalez
Bivol🤡🤡🤡
Wil still got more win over mexican fighters than you have over us. Look it up. All while being a little island 100 x35 miles. PR took some time off but we coming back strong now. Shakur Stevenson is puertorican and he just beat the undefeated oscar valdez mexican fighter. Bomba Gonzalez, and we got a couple of good prospects coming up.
@@rican_921 shakur is Afro-Latino can't disregard the people who raised and trained him to fit your agenda 😂
@@GodsonFPS big portion of puertoricans are afro-latino lol do some research before you talk, cause you might look like an ignorant. Now if you said “american-puertorican” your point would’ve kinda made more sense

@Trevor Jacob Oh really,I got confused also but, I was referred to Mr Caltons joe
Omg! I'm just shocked you mentioned and recommended Mr Caltons joe, I thought people don't really know about his service. Must say, it's really awesome working with him .
Wow, I heard Alot about investments with Mr Caltons joe and how good he is, please how safe are the profits
I have also been trading with him, profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment

WHAT MAKES BLK FIGHTERS SO MUCH GREATER IN BOXING?‼️💯‼️🤡🤡🤡✊🏾🏆🏆🏆
ayo chill
I mean you should be good since you are the original people(y'all should never lose to mix or white people TBH). In boxing terms great blk fighters have 3 traits that set them apart from the rest they are speed, reflexes, and agility. It's probably why when one of y'all takes an L y'all get so mad and then accuse the Non-Blk fighter of cheating. Don't you even 🧢!
What happen with wilder? Lol
@@meangravy9286 he got knocked the hell out by the gypsy king himself
