Senegalese wrestling recently witnessed Gris Bordeaux’s reaction following his controversial defeat to Zarco. During his last fight, the athlete, often nicknamed the “Tiger of Fass”, expressed his intention to learn from this defeat to come back stronger in the arena.
Gris Bordeaux, who has not had a victory in ten years, was widely criticized after his defeat on January 12. In response to speculation about a possible withdrawal, the wrestler said he wanted to question himself and readjust his fighting strategy. He said in particular: “It was painful for me and my supporters. Because for me, even when I lose, everyone recognizes that I made the necessary effort. But this time, none of that happened. I can’t explain everything but these are the lessons to be learned. I am a sportsman. I listen carefully to reactions but I know how to discern constructive criticism or not. I have experience in wrestling and I know he goes with the debates. But I will respond in the arena. »
The wrestler also spoke about the frequent comparisons with Moustapha Gueye within the Fass stable, often attributed to luck and the support his predecessor would have benefited from. Since joining Fass in 1997, after the famous fight between Tyson and Moustapha Gueye, Gris Bordeaux has sought to forge its place in this highly publicized sport.
