Boxing News: Tank-Martin Final Press Conference » June 15, 2024 (2024)

It’s ok, you will be alright, you are a victim, sure you are. What a load of crud. You are the definition of a joke. The fact that you may have a voice in someone else’s life is very scary and should be embarrassing.

You are right but actually started in the late 90s with culture of gangster rap grabbing our kids and they no longer wanted to wait on things it was all a smoke screen

Systemic barriers?!!? Wherever they are in the world, they ruin it!! The way your “brothers” behave is an inherent trait, nothing more. How about taking accountability for your actions?? I it blaming the white man for your shortcomings. Still haven’t even invented a written language or built a civilization, only destroy them.

DMV…one thing I do know is boxing is the only professional sport that allows the “N” word to be said without penalty…the only professional sport and it is embarrassing and unacceptable as an African American…one of the many reasons boxing has credibility issues…not professional even by the governing bodies, Promoters and sanctioning bodies that allow such behavior…and everyone is afraid to speak on this …even people that I admire …Steven A..Tim Bradley ..Teddy Atlas… Shannon Sharpe….. people..good people..that will quickly call out and express disapproval over issues… openly avoid this….

The quickest solution is to break the agreement with government which promised loot and assistance as long as dad is out of the picture. It has now been 60 years since the agreement was made with Lyndon B Johnson and we got nothing out of it but misery. It’s up to every home to recognize the okeydoke and change the setting. It took 2 generations to corrupt and damage society, so it will take another 20 at least to correct it.

When GOD had the Jews wandering the desert for 40 years after leaving egypt, it was not done aimlessly. It was done so the prior generation to die off and with it, the mentality. HE wanted the new generation to enter the promise land with a clean slate.

Puerto Ricans went through the same as have many white folks in the south. It was done simply for control. The easiest way to control a group is by controlling their money influencing culture. We are just seeing the turn around and it should get better from here.

Those in power do not wish to have a connected community because they are hard to control and would then become the power themselves. This is why we see the extra effort being pushed to further divide everyone through the media(news, movies, music, social media). It is up to us to learn from our mistakes and move forward.

This was well off topic, but one that needs to be addressed.

If there are systematic barriers how do you explain the success of AAs in the NBA and NFL?

Then they should vote for Trump if they’re looking for better economic opportunities. That old demented racist Joe Biden isn’t going to anything for them.

I believe every race has led and set examples in this nation or world. When did this become about what just African Americans did? I cannot speak for what occurred many years ago nor can I be embarrassed or ashamed because “I” had no part in slavery or racial hatred or discrimination. If we continue to beat the drum that present day people should be held responsible for a past that we had no hand in then we will never come to any resolution. I can only account for me for the past 50 plus years and to raise my family in that same manner, to suggest that someones family in the past may have engaged in slavery or racial hatred and now it’s on them to make amends is ludicrous. Slavery was not exclusive to just African Americans and many races were subject to slavery. Quite frankly, slavery still exists today in the form of human trafficking. How many races are involved in that? My guess, numerous, yet it’s not said. I acknowledge what occurred years ago because it is part of history and an ugly history. The same history that enslaved the Irish. The same history that put japanese Americans in camps during the war. The same history that Jews were persecuted because of their religion. The same history that Jews are enduring now in this country with ignorant Americans supporting a terrorist group. Every nation in this world has a history where it can looked upon proudly or with disdain. I nor anyone else should be looking for retribution except with those that are actively engaging in this behavior or have done so in their past that are actually still alive. Peace? What is that? As long as you have people in government (liberals) that do more to separate us then bring us together there will be no peace. Laws set so you are judged by the color of your skin rather than the content of your character or the abilities that you possess to do the a job by performance. That’s why boxing is so intriguing to me because it puts man vs man, both have worked hard at their craft, and one will be named the winner based on their performance not anything else. Reality at this point is that we have more people separating us than bringing us together because honestly, it pays better especially with our current administration. I’m proud that as a human being (American), not a white man that I have contributed positively to society and that I will continue to do so as long as I’m here. When we start looking at things like that rather than white this, and black that, or brown there then we will become one.

Agree. Frank Martin is a solid fighter with a good chin and highly motivated. Tank’s power also seems to come through. Chess and then fireworks! Two southpaws, too.

I’m there with you Sammy! Get ready someone on here will be ignorant enough to call us racists. I’m also hoping Martin wins this fight too.
