The Puerto Rico vs. Mexico Boxing Rivalry: The Official Record List
M.DeTyrone
This list was composed in 2011 and it's been updated by me since February 2012. Other lists seen on various online sites have been either copy and pasted and translated into Spanish or other languages.
I thought of the idea of creating the list around 2010. Began the creation of the list mid 2011 due to the amount of myths and misinformation that was being spread throughout the social media and online boxing sites. By early 2012 the was basically completed it's been updated a few times to keep up with the fights, and I research new information.
