Comments Thread For: Weekend Rout Beat The Necessity Out of Fury-Wilder Rivalry

3. He brought up the race card to the event. I think his entrance was tribal, classless and off.

Boxing is a tribal sport though; folks like to root for fighters that look like them, that they can identify with... you sure you understand what you are watching? What rubs you the wrong way regarding Wilder celebrating his heritage during Black History Month (in the USA)?

Well let's do away with all tribalism; Including nationality. Canelo has already drawn the nationality line against his own compatriots or fellow countrymen when he said that he would no longer fight anymore Mexican fighters for the rest of his career.

Now had a black person said something even remotely similar to that then he would have been easily labeled a racist. It's just like Erroll Spence saying that he won't fight Terence Crawford because both of their ancestors are from the continent of Africa.

Yeah, but again, Mexican is not a colour,

Canelo is Mexican, wilder is american

Because he celebrate a racial héritage so it is racist, black this, black that, in a fight vs a white fighter obviously

Doesn’t anybody recall how AJ was beaten in the first fight
How so many of us said that he would be beaten in the rematch , how he had lost his it ´ factor and would be beaten again
So , weren’t we all wrong , although our thinking was reasonable at the time
I ain’t no fan of Wilder but stranger things have happened

I know its a country but neither is Africa which is continent that it comprised of many different countries and tribes as well.

Mexico is a country and is like any other sub culture and race too with many different ethnic groups residing there. If they are not considered white/racial then what are they?

Whether people like it or not Wilder deserves his chance to redeem is first career loss.

The 2nd fight was already a chance to redeem himself after being gifted in a draw in a fight almost everybody thought he clearly lost. Then he goes and gets absolutely demolished.

Him getting an immediate third shot after winning 3-4 rounds of a combined 19 would be one of the more pathetic 3rd fights in history.

Yeah...the difference is...this WAS the rematch.

[MulaKO]

Yeah...the difference is...this WAS the rematch.

I didn’t know that
I could of sworn the first one was declared a draw
Whether you or me or anyone for that matter agree or not
It is what it says in the record books , right ?

[Get em up]

Yeah...the difference is...this WAS the rematch.

Yes it was a rematch the first fight was officially a draw and the whole hype to the rematch was 1 side says Fury won the first fight 1 side says Fury was saved by Jack Reiss yet at the end of the day the judges said draw so what we think doesn't affect the official outcome. The 3rd fight is definitely in order and who knows what will happen.

My point exactly. This is heavyweight boxing for God's sake once punch can change EVERYTHING!
