The hate is insane. He only had two fights where he had to be so defensive it was boring. All the Hispanics are mad because even with one hand santos couldn’t beat him.

Shakur is Puerto Rican 😂 talking about “Hispanics” 🤡🤡🤡 Even the usual suspects thought his performance was a snooze fest

[@SickNYC]

@@themarathoncontinues2289 im Hispanic and black just like him. Mofos only acknowledge that side when it’s beneficial. The whole reason shakur fought Joet is because he was dating his sister and her family disowned her because of it. In the post fight ring interview he had to beg them to call her and stop being petty. Get that bs out of here. Not one of you would consider shakur Puerto Rican.
