Listen to Malcolm X, Why do we love boxing.

The fighter always has a special place our hearts. Through the boxers our fights can be fought. During the years when Joe Louis was champion he carried a torch for all the oppressed. The black man could stand tall knowing that Joe was the baddest man on the planet. During the onset of WWII even Mr. Louis fought for all of us as we stood against Hitler. What does your favorite fighter stand for today. Is it the pride of the Philippines? Does your boxer stand in the gap for those that are being held down in Ekraine. Does Guillermo Rigondeaux represent freedom from Castro. I hope that the fighters today know that the causes of the oppressed are still as strong today as always. Look, fighters will get paid, but so do men and women who don't give a damn about anything but the $$$$$. Use the platform you were given and take stand, many believe you are fighting for them.
