Gutter scum Claressa Shields is now the latest in the long line of American fighters who have chosen to bring race in to things. She has labelled Savanna Marshall as a "great white hope"
I never saw Marshall v Shields as black v white, I did see it as Brit v American, or Brit v Duck seeing as she is likely to price her self out of this fight but for some reason the Afro Americans always want to drag it down in to a race thing.
Is there a psycological reason for this? Some fighters need to mentally picture their opposition is the enemy or evil to give them the drive in training. Is this how some Afro Americans choose to focus their drive? Do they focus on the colour of their opposition? We all remember fighters like Wilder and Hopkins making it about the black man beating the white man.
