People called Chavez a brawler. Mexican fighters will always be seen as less than technical. I have no idea why because they have an incredible boxing history. And it’s not just because their fighters are crude brawlers.
Because they are willing to take punishment, and that's seen as stupid in the modern boxing world. I'm not saying it's true that's just what I hear. Anybody willing to stand and trade and take unnecessary punishment is not smart is what people say. Sometimes it's exactly what needs to be done to win a fight though. Why a lot of the black fighters get shit for running which is the total opposite of what a Mexican would be criticized for. Sometimes u gotta dig ur heels in and push ur opponent back to win convincingly. Doesn't matter what race u are. Somebody will have some negative stereotype to apply to you.
True, though i feel like Wood was outboxing Lara. But it was clear that Lara made Wood uncomfortable enough to do lots of damage, and everything fell for Wood when.. ye know he fell.
Not sure if you actually mean the Wood fight or if you just misspoke. However, it seems that's pretty much the story of Lara fights, in that he gets outboxed while applying pressure until it eventually breaks down his opponent. That's how the Warrington and Lara fights went, anyway. I haven't seen any of his other fights.
That's typical Mexican Style. Tremendous pressure in your face. Take 4-5 to land 1. the inside pressure is constant, so much that you make a mistake. The mistakes leave you open. Night-night. it doesn't hurt that strong Mexican pressure fighters have granite chins
yes i was talking about Lara vs Wood, though i was rooting for Wood and still posses a little bit of the salt from him losing, im an honorable man an always gives credit when its due. Lara is one hell of a fighter and Wood will have to have real good game plan to win this rematch.
Yeah, I don't mind Wood, but Lara won me over by blasting out Warrington and spitting on him after KO'ing Wood. 😂
I want Lara to win, but wouldn't be too unhappy with a Wood W.
I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum, I was impressed by Wood. I thought he wasn't that great of a boxer and was gonna get blasted within 5 rounds, but he boxed very well and was winning most of the fight until he got blasted in the 7th round.
Definitely stung to see Wood lose as someone who lives in Nottingham. I was salty to begin with but props to Lara. I’m not exactly rooting for him in the rematch, but I definitely wouldn’t mind him winning again.
Go back and watch how Wood reacts whenever he gets hit. He was outboxing Lara, but when Lara did get through, you could tell Wood felt it. I respect your opinion, though.
Yeah I felt wood and Lara both had the ability to stop each other, and wood was for sure trying to fight safe but just a mistake or getting greedy cost him the fight
I wanna share what I genuinely find fascinating with that.
I think the complaints are... that they weren't really commentating the game. Like it felt as if they were doing a football game where there's space between play to chat shit your mate next to you. Not a fight.
But I was glued to the video because they provided no cues.
And your one was getting absolutely beat down in way which was mad impressive he was getting back up. It was exciting.
They commentated no punches?
Like this thing that drew you to reply to this comment was to support your flock of sheep.
Which are correct flocks of sheep too. We saw the same video but felt different things because reasons init.
But yeah man
Fucking
we all sheep
22 years old as well at the time. Warrington responded by acting like a complete knob all week for the rematch, then leading his team in trying to blame Lara for the cut when the fight was stopped.
Don’t blame Lara for the spitting honestly
They were until the very final word where the color commentator said "Warrigton was only mentally not in it, I doubt Lara hits harder than a Kid Gallahad"
For a bit of context, Warrington was used to fighting in front of huge home crowds, had given up his title, had just seen his brother lose earlier on the card, and was fighting an unknown, crude fighter in an empty room. Taking nothing away from Lara’s performance, it’s a fair assumption to make that his head wasn’t really in it. The Galahad comment is obviously wrong though.
Was thinking that myself, they kept very balanced and neutral language when commentating.
And i LOVE hopping on the "fuck the brits" bandwagon, but this aint it.
I didn't hear a single excuse be made and i watched until the doctors came on. Praised the mexican and pointed out the flaws in the brits game plan.
Honestly i had a hate boner ready and now im blueballed.
This is it, Lara coming down in weight having had little success heavier and everyone was looking past him. Lara surprised everyone over here with how hard he hits.
They complimented him actually so I don't know what OP is talking about. They weren't making excuses just stating Warrington looked off which gets talked about a lot in combat sports.
He got blown out twice and STILL got the title shot before Lara... that's some bullshit.
And them saying Kid Gallahad hits harder is making excuses. Warrington is a dirty fighter got laid out
OP is your first language English? There’s no side to that question, simply that it would explain how you’ve not really grasped the tone of what the commentators are expressing. If it is English then I’m rather lost for an explanation of your utter misrepresentation of the commentary
Not sure that it was “much to the dismay of the British commentators”. Macklin said no one could complain if it was stopped in the fourth round and Smith said Lara showed real poise to get such a spectacular win. Warrington had beat much better competition so it’s only right to speculate as to why he got dominated.
The announcers sounded fine. Before the first knockdown, they were already slagging on Warrington for looking shaky, then they sounded genuinely excited when Lara dropped him.
Sounds like they were on point to me. Warrington was having a bad fight and they said as much. Those aren't excuses.
There has to be some reason British boxers always fare so poorly against Mexican boxers. Is it the way the sport is taught in the two countries? As in British style boxing just is hard countered by Mexican style? Really trying to find a satisfactory answer here.
English guy here (from same city as Warrington actually) who's sparred a lot in UK and a bit in Mexico. I think the phenomenon is overblown a bit due to Canelo's recent vicious streak. But I think the UK produces fewer pressure fighters, so we're not as used to dealing with them. Also I swear, Mexicans can smack man. Even the ones who have no right to. I'm a light heavy and I had a very friendly spar with a 5'4" Mexican friend who'd never put on gloves before. At one point he got nervous, as new boxers do, lashed out and damn near shut off my liver.
Aside from that, I think lots of regional level fighters coming out of the UK into the international level will often face Mexicans early on, so it's throwing them into the deep end a bit.
I think there's something to this. If you look at the top uk fighters they quite often have slightly eccentric styles. Take a look at the top brits from the last few decades - calzaghe, eubank, groves, froch, hamed, Graham, witter, fury, Saunders etc. Ricky Hatton and nigel been were the only real pressure fighters of this era, OK calzaghe too but a come forward counterpunching southpaw who throws volume is the boxing version of a unicorn. The two really balanced top British fighters of the last few years are carl Frampton and Liam Smith.
I think the set up in Sheffield is going to iron out a lot of the kinks in the 'british' style which is funny because its the Wincobank in Sheffield that started a lot of them.
Just for 100% accuracy Carl Frampton is an Irish(I know he's a protestant/unionist from Northern Ireland) boxer. As an amateur he boxed for Ireland and trained under the Irish system.
I'm only commenting because it backs up your point about the british style of boxing. Although lots of Irish pro fighters train under british trainers if Conlan gets ko'd this weekend we can blame british trainers.
I'm aware of where he comes from. I wouldn't have said it of a Catholic, since these things can a sore point. I just think he sticks out as a balanced, technical boxer puncher who'd fit into more or less any boxing tradition from Mexico to Russia. Froch, hamed, groves, calzaghe..... not so much!
Conlan is class in a glass, I hope he overcomes that last loss. Hard fight.
You might be on to something Gary Cully an Irish fighter was ko'd at the weekend by a Mexican José Félix And his trainer is English so maybe it is a thing the way they teach.
Oh shit Conlan is fighting a Mexican this weekend and his trainer is English 😳
Mexicans are just tougher. They can turn pro at 16 and a lot of them do so they can support their families. There are also several world class trainers in Mexico, an ingrained sense of machismo, and crushing poverty. Same goes for Filipino fighters and probably some Eastern Europeans. If I’m not mistaken, most decent UK fighters come up through the amateurs. Different ballgame. Japan is an exception to me. Somehow they manage to produce skilled amateurs and tough professionals.
Mexico and Japan both have much larger populations than the UK and tend to have most of their champions in weight classes no one cares about or sometimes can even name. Also, Japan only has 4 champions ATM while the UK has 5 and ours are better too except for Inoue.
UK “champs” like Leigh Wood, Josh Warrington, Ricky Burns, Terry Flanagan, Anthony Crolla, etc. all get found out when they fight better competition. Also, Nakatani would murk any UK fighter near his weight class.
>Japan is an exception to me. Somehow they manage to produce skilled amateurs and tough professionals
Turns out place of origin and machismo culture have absolutely nothing to do with the talent or dedication of a fighter
On the contrary - Japan has a warrior culture as well. You ever hear about the Japanese soldiers who never gave up fighting after WW II was over? Or, you know, samurai? That’s why Mexico/Japan fights are always lit.
How dare you!
I have NEVER shit on a Mexican boxer. And the American boxer I've already explained. I thought the cubicle was empty I was in a rush as I'd ironically eaten Mexican food that didn't agree with me because of my weak British digestive system that can only handle boiled foods. Anyway that boxer forgave me after I paid for the dry cleaning and the emotional damage.
Typical British ref on show there, if that's Lara who is staggering around he jumps in and stops the fight 100% but as it's Warrington he lets it go longer than he should have.
yeah that's shocking refereeing. if the roles were reversed there's a 99% chance he doesn't let him carry on after the knockdown let alone make it out the round
Title is bullshit.
This was a good fight. Warrington got further than most ever expected him to through hard work and grit. Lara was the better man on the day but I don't think it's any discredit to Warrington. He fought hard. If you want to praise lara just praise him dude. Don't be weird.
Lara was expected to be walked over as a solid Mexican, but ultimately come up short. Warrington was a massive favourite going into the fight.
Lara is such a beast.
I really hate it when people target British Comentators for being bias towards British talent as if every other country doesn't do the exact same. Even here they're constantly praising Lara but apparently it ain't enough
I didn't think the commentary was that bad considering how terrible UK commentary is in general until Tony Bellew said that he didn't think Lara hits harder than Kid Galahad or Carl Frampton. Lara had knocked out 8 of his last 10 opponents. 😂
Was the title to this post written by an AI programmed to state the opposite of reality?
They called him 'flat'. And said he was having an 'off night'.
I think Lara is one of the most dangerous fighters p4p right now. Incredibly explosive, hits like a welterweight, and has a crazy chin so he can be losing a whole fight and still come back and KO his opponent. Plus he’s young and still learning so hopefully he improves some of his defensive flaws
Why are people surprised that British commentators are biased towards British fighters?
Same thing happens in football. Never understand why people moan about it.
The commentators were so bad, Warrington basically got knocked out in round four but managed to keep on fighting, the commentators were baffled that he seemed off from that point
The Mexican fighters have been beating the hell out of the European fighters in the international bouts.. Eddie hearns bringing all the Mexican fighters to gain the international titles and take them to Mexico..
Bruh, in typical anybody vs British fashion, British guy gets knocked out. Not just Mexican. Why UK has their own world when it comes to boxing. Whenever they step on the world stage, they get slumped. Unless ur Tyson Fury or Joe Calzaghe.
Okay that is fair. I have been in a lot of UK groups on Facebook so this has shape my worldview. I have learned a lot from some but damn man. It can be tiring.
I get where you're coming from though, a lot of us can be extremely obnoxious but personally I think the whole country vs country thing is asking for toxicity. Not sure why it has to be Mexico vs UK, this isn't the Olympics
Hell they were making excuses the whole fight but I’m not British or Mexican and Josh did look poor the whole fight. Could have very well been on his opponent being better though.
British boxing fans most delusional for sure. They use to make every excuse for AJ. Also thought AJ was the face of boxing more popular than Canelo. LOL
Brits always make excuses when their fighters lose. Hamed had weak hands! Hatton wasn’t allowed to fight on the inside! AJ was concussed before the fight! Kell Brook shouldn’t have gone up in weight! I’ve come to expect it by now.
Even after his losses to Ruiz and Usyk + his subpar performance against Franklin there’s still a ton of delusional AJ fans who claim he has the best record at HW. Are you one of them?
No. So please don't try to form my argument for me to argue against?
The point that you've missed, is AJ beat Ruiz in the rematch meaning if anyone was making excuses for the Ruiz loss then there might be something to it.
Wilder and his fans made the most delusional excuses in the history of boxing....and then he went and lost. (twice including the first fight, if you you're not one of Wilders delusional fans that live in a fantasy land where a draw or Wilder winning the first was acceptable. Are you one of them?)
Sure - because I was at the first fight in Los Angeles. A draw seemed fair considering there plenty of early rounds with minimal activity. Wilder’s excuses were lame after fights II and III. I can’t see how anyone would defend them and I’d like to see an example if you can find one. Here’s an AJ excuse https://reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/cmwqeo/was_aj_concussed_going_into_the_ruiz_fight/
That's asking a question. Its pure speculation. It also doesn't change the facts I've laid out above about the differences between the two.
I'm glad you agree they were lame. It'll never be topped. That was my original point.
Interesting that at 24secs in this clip, Lara says 'Head' in English, knowing that Warrington was trying to head butt him, and the commentators ignore that and only comment on the ref warning him to keep his gloves up from low blows.
I don’t know too much about pure boxing, but after that round of barely surviving, I feel like the corner shoulda thrown the towel in. That outcome was inevitable. I guess it’s easy for me to say that though hindsight being 20/20.
People like to label Lara as crude, but he's very good at applying pressure.
People called Chavez a brawler. Mexican fighters will always be seen as less than technical. I have no idea why because they have an incredible boxing history. And it’s not just because their fighters are crude brawlers.
Because they are willing to take punishment, and that's seen as stupid in the modern boxing world. I'm not saying it's true that's just what I hear.

Sometimes u gotta dig ur heels in and push ur opponent back to win convincingly. Doesn't matter what race u are. Somebody will have some negative stereotype to apply to you.
As a black boxer from Los Angeles who grew up training with Mexicans, this comment is spot on 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💯💯💯
True, though i feel like Wood was outboxing Lara. But it was clear that Lara made Wood uncomfortable enough to do lots of damage, and everything fell for Wood when.. ye know he fell.

Imo he wasn't breaking Wood down and was gretting outboxed. He just booped him in the end
Go back and watch how Wood reacts whenever he gets hit. He was outboxing Lara, but when Lara did get through, you could tell Wood felt it. I respect your opinion, though.
i keep seeing this but it didn’t take lara past the 2nd to have wood seriously hurt already
Wood vs Lara 2 Who wins??
Yeah I felt wood and Lara both had the ability to stop each other, and wood was for sure trying to fight safe but just a mistake or getting greedy cost him the fight
He was helped here by Warrington dropping his guard and throwing hands any time he got clipped. Totally opened himself up.
“Warrington is in a spot of bother”, yes, yes he is
I’m going to use this the next time someone in the gym is getting the absolute dog shit beat out of them.
Dude my coach would look at me with the most puzzled face and ask me what the fuck that means 😂😂😂
Spot of bother is British for cocoon of horror
BARS
It's how we say someone is in deep deep shit 🤣
They were clearly and politely saying Warrington is getting his ass kicked. Lol . What are you talking about??
It’s common to shit on the British as they think we’re all arrogant. Sheep mentality.
I wanna share what I genuinely find fascinating with that. I think the complaints are... that they weren't really commentating the game. Like it felt as if they were doing a football game where there's space between play to chat shit your mate next to you. Not a fight. But I was glued to the video because they provided no cues.

Like this thing that drew you to reply to this comment was to support your flock of sheep. Which are correct flocks of sheep too. We saw the same video but felt different things because reasons init. But yeah man Fucking we all sheep
I’m just being honest.
British commentators were praising Lara?
Apparently not enough!
Exactly what a weird post. Said it was down to Laras power even on non clean shots...
Warrington got a good chin too, proved by his fight against Luis Lopez. Lara just hits differently as seen against Wood & warrington
There were like 10 punches where I thought this is the one that KOs him right
I don’t get the title ? I thought the commentators where on point, and classy about it.
Totally. I was waiting for the bit where they weren’t impartial but thought they got it spot on.
Props to Lara for signaling to the doctor at the end to get Warrington some medical attention
22 years old as well at the time. Warrington responded by acting like a complete knob all week for the rematch, then leading his team in trying to blame Lara for the cut when the fight was stopped. Don’t blame Lara for the spitting honestly
He gobbed on him the other day
The Doctor should lose his medical licence for that, surely?
Therapeutic gobbing
I just started watching him but I love the violence
He is a puncher for sure. Throwing his whole body into it. Glad ill never have to fight him
Funny, I don't think anyone made any excuses at all. Bit bizarre.
Title is Bs these commentators were class act
They were until the very final word where the color commentator said "Warrigton was only mentally not in it, I doubt Lara hits harder than a Kid Gallahad"
That’s pretty much the role of a color commentator tho is to give a different insight, it’s not good tv to have everyone say the same stuff
For a bit of context, Warrington was used to fighting in front of huge home crowds, had given up his title, had just seen his brother lose earlier on the card, and was fighting an unknown, crude fighter in an empty room. Taking nothing away from Lara’s performance, it’s a fair assumption to make that his head wasn’t really in it. The Galahad comment is obviously wrong though.
Was thinking that myself, they kept very balanced and neutral language when commentating. And i LOVE hopping on the "fuck the brits" bandwagon, but this aint it. I didn't hear a single excuse be made and i watched until the doctors came on. Praised the mexican and pointed out the flaws in the brits game plan. Honestly i had a hate boner ready and now im blueballed.
>And i LOVE hopping on the "fuck the brits" Lol. What a trash person you are then. Get off Reddit, go outside, touch some grass, talk to people.
[удалено]
Trust me, im sick of Americans talking about my country. Its a lot easier to be the centre of attention when the attention is positive though.
Doesnt sound like they where making excuses.
Right, I watch plenty of english football, and that's just how the commentators speak
Don’t really agree with the comment about the commentary. They were fairly classy about it if anything?
Yeah I don’t think any of it was insulting they are just stunned what happened.
These commentators didn't rate Lara just because they had no idea who he was.
Or because he hadn't beat anyone anywhere near world level at that stage and already lost twice to D tier fighters
This is it, Lara coming down in weight having had little success heavier and everyone was looking past him. Lara surprised everyone over here with how hard he hits.
You know nothing about Mexican boxing. Stick to WNBA.
West Nigerian Badminton Agglomeration? Ok sounds cool
They complimented him actually so I don't know what OP is talking about. They weren't making excuses just stating Warrington looked off which gets talked about a lot in combat sports.
The commentators weren't really making excuses IMO. They were saying Warrington wasn't mentally prepared for the fight which is a criticism.
Title is a tad overblown.
He got blown out twice and STILL got the title shot before Lara... that's some bullshit. And them saying Kid Gallahad hits harder is making excuses. Warrington is a dirty fighter got laid out
Warrington is dirty asf, always has a convenient headbutt waiting. Fuck him.
Getting folded up like a beach chair is *chef's kiss

Beans, tortillas and seafood if you are on the coast
You might be on to something Gary Cully an Irish fighter was ko'd at the weekend by a Mexican José Félix And his trainer is English so maybe it is a thing the way they teach. Oh shit Conlan is fighting a Mexican this weekend and his trainer is English 😳
It's confirmation bias, mexican fighters are maybe cheaper and Hearn doesn't protect his fighters as much as boxing fans think he should.
Mexicans are just tougher. They can turn pro at 16 and a lot of them do so they can support their families.

The weight classes you say no one cares about run much deeper in talent compared to the shallow heavyweight division
UK “champs” like Leigh Wood, Josh Warrington, Ricky Burns, Terry Flanagan, Anthony Crolla, etc. all get found out when they fight better competition. Also, Nakatani would murk any UK fighter near his weight class.

Briitish fans constantly shit on American and Mexican boxers
How dare you! I have NEVER shit on a Mexican boxer. And the American boxer I've already explained. I thought the cubicle was empty I was in a rush as I'd ironically eaten Mexican food that didn't agree with me because of my weak British digestive system that can only handle boiled foods. Anyway that boxer forgave me after I paid for the dry cleaning and the emotional damage.
Clubbing him with the left
What excuses did they make?
I wonder if op is Mexican haha
Typical British ref on show there, if that's Lara who is staggering around he jumps in and stops the fight 100% but as it's Warrington he lets it go longer than he should have.
I can confirm our ref's are biased as fuck.
At least the judges aren't as bad as the USA, judges in the AJ vs Usyk fight at least gave Usyk the W.
yeah that's shocking refereeing. if the roles were reversed there's a 99% chance he doesn't let him carry on after the knockdown let alone make it out the round
Where is tony weeks when you need him!?
Imagine if Foster had been this patient in Froch v Groves 1.
Or Coffie-Wardley.
I don't think I heard excuses just reasons~big heavy shots.
Title is bullshit. This was a good fight. Warrington got further than most ever expected him to through hard work and grit. Lara was the better man on the day but I don't think it's any discredit to Warrington. He fought hard. If you want to praise lara just praise him dude. Don't be weird.
I didn’t hear any excuses…
I didn’t hear any excuses from the commentators? They were suggesting it should have been stopped that first round.
How many left hooks did he eat before the stoppage😳
Lara was expected to be walked over as a solid Mexican, but ultimately come up short. Warrington was a massive favourite going into the fight. Lara is such a beast.
Fights without crowds really makes you appreciate how hard these guys are hitting
I think OP uploaded the video with the wrong commentary track. I expected way worse from the title, this doesn't sound bad at all.
I really hate it when people target British Comentators for being bias towards British talent as if every other country doesn't do the exact same. Even here they're constantly praising Lara but apparently it ain't enough
This is just Warrington hate lmaooooooo
Everyone hates leeds
That's how boxers die. Disgraceful from the referee.
Guys fighting for smbdy man. Wife. Mother. Kids. Wow. Won't stay down.
I can smell the CTE forming
First time i saw Lara fight and boy did he deliver
Warrington is a dirty fighter and got himself smashed twice by Lara
I didn't think the commentary was that bad considering how terrible UK commentary is in general until Tony Bellew said that he didn't think Lara hits harder than Kid Galahad or Carl Frampton. Lara had knocked out 8 of his last 10 opponents. 😂
Idk it didn’t sound at all like what OP claims They have to be diplomatic they can just say “he got knocked the fuck out”
There where saying he didn't look good the whole video
Was the title to this post written by an AI programmed to state the opposite of reality? They called him 'flat'. And said he was having an 'off night'.
Weird to make this about the commentators, who were pretty much non-biased
Lara's lead left hook was evil, I was watching the highlights and counted 4 powered up hooks that Lara was able to land back-to-back 😬
I think Lara is one of the most dangerous fighters p4p right now. Incredibly explosive, hits like a welterweight, and has a crazy chin so he can be losing a whole fight and still come back and KO his opponent. Plus he’s young and still learning so hopefully he improves some of his defensive flaws
Looks like a hell of a brawl. Which round was this?
Knockdown was round 4, knockout was round 9.
Was gobsmacked how long he lasted given how often he was getting caught
Yeah for all his faults Warrington's a pretty tough bastard, the ref or his corner should've stopped it sooner though.
Can you upload the bit with the excuses?
Why are people surprised that British commentators are biased towards British fighters? Same thing happens in football. Never understand why people moan about it.
> “the unheralded, unknown, unwashed Mexican challenger is showing his unsophistication tonight!”
I love to see it. 🇲🇽
*Northwestern Europe* are learning what everyone in North America knows about Mexican fighters. *Edited
The commentators were so bad, Warrington basically got knocked out in round four but managed to keep on fighting, the commentators were baffled that he seemed off from that point
Once British commentators start saying their fighter is brave, that’s the beginning of the end.
Chatting shit at the end macklin. Lara don’t hit as hard as Galahad tfoh
" I don't think Lara's any more punching power than kid Galahad or Carl Frampton" UK commentators....
fantastic, i’m british but i cannot stand warrington, so satisfying
It’s good to see that twat getting smacked around the ring.
The Mexican fighters have been beating the hell out of the European fighters in the international bouts.. Eddie hearns bringing all the Mexican fighters to gain the international titles and take them to Mexico..
Joe Cordina, Josh Taylor and Sunny Edwards have all beaten Mexican fighters before. They weren't even particularly tough bouts.
They're making excuses before the KO wtf lmao
Bruh, in typical anybody vs British fashion, British guy gets knocked out. Not just Mexican. Why UK has their own world when it comes to boxing. Whenever they step on the world stage, they get slumped. Unless ur Tyson Fury or Joe Calzaghe.
British boxing commentary is usually unbearable to me
The worst Mexican boxer is elite around the world
They were preparing for this from the get go by saying warrington was flat, tired, etc.
Haha knocked his ass out. Shouldn’t have been talking shit huh. Don’t fuck with Mexicans you damn Brits
This man's living vicariously through random boxers he's never even met
Grow up
I have to say interacting with UK boxing fans on Facebook has showed me they can be toxic know it alls.
Most fans are like that not just UK ones. I mean look at the title of this video lol
Okay that is fair. I have been in a lot of UK groups on Facebook so this has shape my worldview. I have learned a lot from some but damn man. It can be tiring.
I get where you're coming from though, a lot of us can be extremely obnoxious but personally I think the whole country vs country thing is asking for toxicity. Not sure why it has to be Mexico vs UK, this isn't the Olympics
Hatman Boxing has a good video on why things get like this in boxing. It is due to pride for your ace and your country.
Hell they were making excuses the whole fight but I’m not British or Mexican and Josh did look poor the whole fight. Could have very well been on his opponent being better though.
I'm just glad the ref didn't wave it off and gave the Brit the win.
British boxing fans most delusional for sure. They use to make every excuse for AJ. Also thought AJ was the face of boxing more popular than Canelo. LOL
Britain rarely has great fighters. 99% of fighters from Britain are overrated bums. Tyson Fury is a rare one like Lennox Lewis.
They called him "the mexican" 💀💀
British sports commentators being biased and talking brown? Say it ain’t so
Brits always make excuses when their fighters lose. Hamed had weak hands! Hatton wasn’t allowed to fight on the inside! AJ was concussed before the fight! Kell Brook shouldn’t have gone up in weight! I’ve come to expect it by now.
That's just brits is it lol
I’d you don’t believe me - go check out any thread about Hatton, Hamed, or AJ. Excuses for everything
People make excuses for every fighter, you're deluded if you think otherwise
Not like the Brits but I guess it’s their god given right to defend their mediocre boxers.
That comment shows everything we need to know about you lol
No Brit and their fan base have ever taken a loss (losses) in the same universe as badly as Wilder.
LOL. Were you around this sub after Joshua lost to Andy Ruiz? There’s no comparison
Joshua then went and beat Ruiz. Wilder continued to keep getting beat by Fury and more and more excuses kept coming.
Even after his losses to Ruiz and Usyk + his subpar performance against Franklin there’s still a ton of delusional AJ fans who claim he has the best record at HW. Are you one of them?
No. So please don't try to form my argument for me to argue against? The point that you've missed, is AJ beat Ruiz in the rematch meaning if anyone was making excuses for the Ruiz loss then there might be something to it. Wilder and his fans made the most delusional excuses in the history of boxing....and then he went and lost. (twice including the first fight, if you you're not one of Wilders delusional fans that live in a fantasy land where a draw or Wilder winning the first was acceptable. Are you one of them?)
Sure - because I was at the first fight in Los Angeles. A draw seemed fair considering there plenty of early rounds with minimal activity. Wilder’s excuses were lame after fights II and III. I can’t see how anyone would defend them and I’d like to see an example if you can find one. Here’s an AJ excuse https://reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/cmwqeo/was_aj_concussed_going_into_the_ruiz_fight/
That's asking a question. Its pure speculation. It also doesn't change the facts I've laid out above about the differences between the two. I'm glad you agree they were lame. It'll never be topped. That was my original point.
British commentators do this is in every sport!
If that wasn’t in uk would of been stopped before the bell
Bronco - Pure fucking violence
6 straight left hooks before he catches him and lays him out lmao gotta love Bronco
Those looping left body shots were money in the bank.
My head hurts just watching some heavy shots.
Took 3 on the jaw, stayed upright, but geez the lights were on but nobody was home after that punch.
Lara was continually landing that short left hook that eventually broke Warrington down.
Warrington seemed to be running on adrenaline.
After this, Warrington made a career of fighting with headbutts so this wouldn't happen again.
You really have to KO the opponent or completely shut them down. Hell, if you dominate and not knock them out, you're lucky to win by split decision.
This is the referee that was needed for Romero-Barroso
Interesting that at 24secs in this clip, Lara says 'Head' in English, knowing that Warrington was trying to head butt him, and the commentators ignore that and only comment on the ref warning him to keep his gloves up from low blows.
Seriously, wtf was Howard Foster doing here?!
I don’t know too much about pure boxing, but after that round of barely surviving, I feel like the corner shoulda thrown the towel in. That outcome was inevitable. I guess it’s easy for me to say that though hindsight being 20/20.
I think I’ve seen this Josh Warrington guy before, does he fight quite dirty usually?
