Another brutal chapter in the sporting rivalry between Mexico and the United States took place in the stands of Daikin Park in Houston during Monday night’s World Baseball Classic.
Rival fans seated in right field were caught on camera exchanging punches as a full on brawl developed.
It’s unclear what started the altercation, but when the video begins an American fan is seen having pushed some Mexico fans in their seats.
A fan in a Mexico soccer jersey is seen going at the American fan, falling into the row below him and knocking over another US fan in an Aaron Judge shirt who was not involved in the fight.
After getting up, the Mexico fan delivered a number of vicious right hands before throwing his counterpart down the steps.
The American then gets up and is joined by another previously unseen fighter who then exchanges blows with the Mexico fan – who gets pushed down into the row below him again.
