America wants Fury to win

[GrandpaBernard]

Sums it up for me right here. I love the sport of boxing, the art and sweet science of boxing. Tyson Fury boxes. Wilder can 1-2 and that's about it. Thus, I want to see more of Fury than I do of Wilder. Simple.

Yep not everyone can be a Mayweatheresque master boxer

but I knew Deontay’s time was short when he revealed his mentality

I only have to be perfect for two seconds

it usually takes more than just a puncher’s chance to beat the best guys

not really.

when ggg fought canelo he had plenty of support from the mexicans.

i'm a member of a few boxing groups on FB and i've seen black dudes there call the very few black people who support fury/didn't care about the result of the fight traitors etc. literally never seen a member of other group do that. to them this fight is all about race. it's actually quite funny if you think about it.

It's totally acceptable to be a racist if you are Black. Politically speaking, it's just the truth.

I'm American and I definitely back Fury...

I'm American and I can't stand afrocentric racist clowns like Wilder. I hope he gets embarassed again by a "white boi" lol.

Fury is an amazingly skilled fighter and boxing will suffer the day he hangs it up. But Fury can grow tiring very quickly. A lot of legit boxing fans in the UK really didn't like the stunt he and Arum pulled in those supposed AJ Fury negotiations. Joshua may have losses some stock and maybe considered the lesser of the two fighters. But you still need to actually fight, consistently. And against decent opposition. Fury hasn't really been doing that and I think he runs on thinner ice than even he realises. Americans will grow tired of him quickly if he goes back to fighting bums after this win.

Yup... Associate with Arum and usually the pattern is less meaningful fights with more build up for the tomato can of the day. Fury did his legacy a huge disservice when he hooked up with Satanic Bob. Fury wants to spread it out and ultimately that will cost him. He has to look at Lewis... people can say what they want about lewis... he cleaned the division out. He fought who was percieved as dangerous, even when it meant avoiding a mandatory to do so. Fury should commence to start fighting em all... it should look like the intro to batman! from the 60's lol.

My take on the nationalism is... Everybody is passionate about who they support. Thats boxing. Wilder is either some loud mouthed bigot who can't accept a loss, or, a great puncher who was wronged, and the very salvation for the purity of the American Heavyweight champ with a punch of granite! And likewise for Fury...he is either a lound mouthed self entitled poser of a gypsy, a cheater, a reprobate of the worse order, or he is amazing phenomena, a big fighter who can move well, with a boxing mind second to none (perhaps Usyk), and proof that British heavyweights, with the advent of Lewis have come out of the weak chinned, low risk, types...who moved well when looking for a place on the canvas to take a nap.

I see: two talented fighters. One guy has packed on some muscle properly, to increase his punch effectiveness. The other guy moving like a throwback fighter because he was brought up boxing from an early age...But Fury is a bit heavy and that concerns me. I do think he takes it though.

No, I can't stand afrocentric racist clowns. I wish they were purged from this Earth. They are parasites.

No group of fans is more guilty of that than African Americans. Not even the British.

The irony of you race-obsessed babies calling other people tribalistic is amusing.

There are actually reasons for these feelings. Its part of the boxing tradition in the United States... Every ethnic group in this country has found a way to be lauded through boxing... the Irish were treated like second class citizens, signs in shop windows ("help wanted No irish need apply") then the Italians, the ***s, and now the Blacks... and every heavyweight champ gave a leg up to his people, made them proud and more mallible to melt into that pot we call American assimilation. Blacks in this country are not the same as Blacks in europe... and there are reasons why it is relevant that Black athletes compete for being the heavy weight champion of the world, even today. Ali was many things... and Black was one of them. This matters and only through that tribalism do you get respect and ultimately unity.

So to be fair... there is no guilt about it. Its boxing in this country... Today, poor Polish immigrants who have little bring their flags when they go to see Polish fighters. One day when a Polish fighter becomes champ, that feirce ethnic pride will become the flame that helps melt those Polish people into that same melting pot.

I don't claim to understand British fans... I only know they are loyal and thats good enough for me. I may disagree with Sid knee's rants on occasion, but I cut slack because there has to be something driving the loyalty that British fans have for their fighters... But its disingenius to claim to know Black fans from the United States coming from Europe. Just my two cents.

American here and I'm backing Wilder. I also spoke to my colleagues this week and they support Wilder as well. Sure Fury has fans in the US, but don't sell the false narrative that he has more support in the US than Wilder. If that was true, Fury wouldn't have been getting booed at the press conferences.

Why are you d1ckriding our UK gangsters then? Colleagues, narrative ---> fcuk off you twink dosser.

I'm American. I'm basically indifferent.
