Chocolatito is of mostly indigenous (native) ancestry. Not Black.

Try again, friend

Chocolatito peeps thought I was Nicaraguan when I went to the last media day. Didn't help that I had on a blue and white shirt.
Yesterday at Matthysse's media day, his Moms (or Aunt or something) started speaking to me in Spanish. When I couldn't respond adequately she shook her head and suggested it was disrespectful that my Spanish wasn't better. So I'm Argentinian this week.

I'm not Latino though. But I should speak better Spanish just on GP.

If I was in the media, I would definitely become fluent in Spanish. Whether I'm Latino or not. Many of these boxers (if not the majority) are from Spanish speaking countries. So it would be best to learn in order to communicate with them more effectively :manny:

I agree. My Spanish is decent when I'm listening to Mexicans and Puerto Ricans since that's what I hear the most. But Argentinians sound totally different.

Ishe isn't absolutely correct though. He got instantly offended and emotional about a t-shirt with no idea what the letters stand for while acting like he co-wrote "Straight Outta Compton".
NWA aint black people's heritage. Its the name that a bunch of rappers chose to be outrageous and as a result the only people who should be getting pissy about it is Dre, Cube or one of the other surviving members of the group.
He should keep his sensitive ass off Twitter.
It doesn't matter whether or not he knew what the letters stood for. The point is that it was taken from the NWA group.

NWA is a hip-hop group. Pretty sure most people would tell you that Hip-Hop = Black culture. And it's disrespectful to take from Black culture while using somebody who doesn't like Blacks. I personally wouldn't have cared if it Kovalev wasn't on the shirt. But the fact that you're taking from Black culture while having a guy one the shirt who has has made multiple disparaging comments towards Blacks, you can't expect for some people not to get offended.

I don't fukk with Ishe at all, and I think he can be bytchmade at times, but in this occasion I can't fault him for feeling some type of way about the shirt :manny:

@Newzz was sounding off on the show brehs :whoo: y'all will hear soon enough


I just don't think he's a more talented/skilled Boxer than Adrien Broner....and never will:manny:


And, I've never seen him show "heart" in a fight on the level that Broner did against Maidana either, because I feel he's never allowed himself to be put in a position of where he had to dig deep in order to comeback (which is kind of a good thing. Floyd's never had to dig deep and go all out in his entire 49 fight career, and he's still the best of this decade):yeshrug:

:ufdup: broner didn't show too much heart against maidana he was still playing games during that whole fight. Broner maybe making history Saturday night but he needs to always be this focused period no excuses. This nikka be on some jccjr sht
