A lot of really ignorant comments here. What does a person's sexual preference have to do with what they do. Just because a man is a homosexual doesn't mean they can't fight well, or play football well, or do anything different than a Heterosexual male. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not for Homosexuality because it is Biblically forbidden. But this man is a good fighter and race nor sexual preference has anything to do with it. Have a blessed day.
even though Cruz lost to Salido, he fought bravely. I knew Salido was a tuff match for Cruz, and to be honest, being mexican I kinda wanted Salido to win. But no matter what, I still remember when I saw this k.o. live! Franco going down cold... the undefeated prospect at the hands of phenomenon cruz. Left cross, right hook in a fraction of a second... WOW. Great skills, great k.o. World class stuff
Who's thinking about it. If you don't want people giving their opinion on your life style then maybe you shouldn't tell people who you sleep with. SEE HOW EASY THAT IS?
Exactly, Cruz is the only active male pro athlete out of the closet still competing. People say being gay in men's sports is no big deal anymore so why do so many guys come out and then retire? Robbie Rogers just came out last week yet he left soccer. Cruz deserves so much respect this guy is tough to be a boxer and openly gay is tremendous. Cruz knows people make jokes about his sexuality but he isn't going anywhere.
I am so proud of Orlando Cruz and Im not saying this because im gay cuz im not, Im saying this because Im a puertorican and a boxer and to have someone with Orlandos courage and come out of the closet while still boxing is amazing. No other athlete has done this but him.
con todo respeto pero esa marca invicta no respondio a las espectativas del mexico-americano, soy mexicano y homor a quien honor merese, bien por cruz y ojala vengan cosas mejores para el y puerto rico, saludos puerto rico desde mexico, savemos perder y ganar , felicidades...y respecto al mexicoamericano pues ni hablar ,ojala y en su esquina le enseñen a mover mas la cintura y a no entrar tan recto al oponente...
It's funny how many of those who never had any idea that he was gay, now they feel butt hurt and hate on him like no other. I bet that if he would have never came out, many of you would still idolize him as the person he was. So why does it matter?
Me sorprende que de repente a todos aquellos q nunca sé les habia ocurrido q Cruz era gay, ahora sé rajan y les duele el fundillo. Les apuesto q Si nunca hubiera dicho nada, todos uds q lo admiraban todabia lo estubieran idolatrando. O no?
This guy is not the first gay boxer. Heavyweight Dereck Chisora is a confessed bisexual, he flirted with Klitschko in their fight build up and kissed one of his opponents several years ago. Emile Griffith, 1 of the greatest welterweights ever, was almost certainly a homosexual.
@Jmarques1986 lo que da risa es leer loscomentariosde mexicanos como tu que rapido que un boricua les pasa el rolo le dicen bum a los de ellos. NADIE recibe credito peleando en MEXICO en mexico boxean los mexicanos y el resto que no puee hacerla en US y se quedan inflando los record en mexico con Taxistas. Cuando quiera buscar credenciales de los boricuas buscate que otro pais ha tenido campeones en todas las divisiones que no sea PUESTO RICO!!
It's not about being "man enough ". EVERY boxer proves that they're "man enough" when they lace up a pair of gloves and enter the ring. Boxing is a close contact sport that often involves blood. Orlando may be asked to take an AIDS Test before each fight, and I wouldn't blame the people doing the asking. The only challenge is how long will Orlando Cruz's Boxing Career last? Tommy Morrison. can probably answer that question.
si vieron la pelea de anoche salido vs cruz ...creo que eso debería haber hecho franco en fin cruz no fue piez apa salido .....nuevo campeón ..nuevamente mexico aplasta puerto rico
Just think, all you gays have to do is not announce to the world who you sleep with and none of those fears will be your reality. SEE HOW EASY THAT COULD BE? " It's better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt "
I understand why you thought that but most gay men arent anything like those guys you are used to Most you would never suspect.most would be the last man you would ever beleave to be gay and then there the guys who talk like they hate gay men those are usually the self hating gays. i wish single guys would notice me for some reason its the men who are married to a woman and have kids that try to get with me but i wont because im not a homewrecker.i got to have a ,man who will be faithful to me
puerto rico arriba no soy gay pero el orgullo es mas grande que la vida privada de este hombre .si hombre por q es mas hombre q muchos hombres ahh!!!y respeto ...!!!por q !?/da ...duroooo!!!
Orlando #1 siempre. Danny Dj phantom siempre tu amigo en las buenas y en las malas, pero ahora a cerebral la victoria. Y los que digeron que en empujón aprende a perder mamón
Why are you so obsessed with homosexuality and frustrated. I mean, if you were not you would not have the need to come to make bad comments about someone you do not even know. Do not be ignorant! Orlando is a good person and homosexuality don't make people become bad :S
@Hadoken Puncher. Dude your screen name is kind of suspect to be talkin like that. I'm just saying. Maybe you need to explore your innerhomo some more. Take your time.
I had 4 older sisters,was the only boy they had alot of gay friends im just used to the typical gay guy who acts like a girl cus it's all ive ever seen
por favor fenomeno no combines tu preferencia sexual con el boxeo, respetate tu como persona.es tu vida personal.te respeto tu vida pero como compatriota te lo recomiendo.boxeo es boxeo y vida personal es personal. saludos y suerte.
Mal ejemplo? Por favor sigues chillando como si te estuvieran follando. Los psicologos establecieron que los niños que crecen con padres homosexuales salen igual aveces hasta mejor que con una pareja heterosexual, más tolerancia, más respeto y más valores y no necesariamente tendra que ser homosexual en el futuro si eso es lo que te preocupa, hecho que ocurre con los gays porque nacen en un hogar heterosexual con homofobia, yo no conozco a ningun gay que haya salido de una familia gay, tu si?
every gay male ive ever met has acted just like a woman I meant no disrespect im just saying I couldn't do it I have a gay friend and I honestly can say I look at him like I do a woman except he aint a woman
Wow, the unbelievable courage it took for him to come out of the closet while still in his prime! I was a huge boxing fan back in the days of Marvelous Marvin Hagler & Alexis Arguello then I lost interest after Tyson began his decline. I am now a fan again. Good for Cruz!
Crying after the victory, showering his mum after the fight, AND wearing pink gloves .. It wasn't really rocket science to figure out which way he swings!
Theres nothing wrong with being gay as long as he can box, thats fine by me. Unlike the other gay boxer thats fighting in Women Boxing was so shit. It shouldnt be allowed.
cual favoritismo es del que hablan??.yo no mire ninguno,dijeron que bien ko y no se que mas....por cierto si no me equivoco franco es mexicano/filipino,su papa es filipino,lo unico es que hablaban de lo que era franco,un prospecto,siempre se habla asi de un boxeador que es prospecto y aun asi no es hablar de mas,estan diciendo que es uno de los ko's mas impresionantes que han visto en un tiempo...ustedes exageran demasiado
Cómo se te ocurre criticar la vida de Orlando, cuando el ni siquiera sabe que tu existes?!! Es gay y qué algún problema?, NO entiendo cual es tu alborotamiento por eso, la verdad? Orlando es un boxeador y es gay, golpea hombres porque los machos de todas las especies se hicieron para eso, para competir entre ellos, ya superálo y deja de lloriquear. Saludos.
Me gustaria saber que tienen que decir los mejicanos que están criticando a Orlando porque sacó a la luz su homosexualidad sobre las fotos de Oscar de la Hoya con medias de mujer y eso ¿No es ser un Homosexual de Closet? Oscar ya mismo admite publicamente ser Gay....
Well I'm gay and I don't act like a woman. So are there MANY of them. They are just not visible to you, because they are 'just like you'. My (male) friends were very surprised when I told them, but it didn't change anything.
Most gay men are strong masculin and you would never guess they are gay the toughest most manly men you ever saw are gay. very few of us are the small thin feminin guys you think about as being gay
