All women carry the spirit of anger, most African American also suffer severely with anger management issues as well.
When you compound this with lesbianism (hatred of men) then essentially you have the perfect example of the 'Angry, black female' concept - stereotypical to an extent, but also highly visible in inner city america and college campuses.
Angry, black females are best avoided IMO - they are extremely volatile, highly aggressive and seek out confrontation. They handle their business with hands, usually holding their opponents hair while constantly rabbit punching and hurling guttural insults.
It is therefore no surprise that African American males seek out white females for trans-actionable relationships - less chance of concussion, ear-ache or verbal humiliation.
This type of idiocy belongs on an alt-right/white supremacist/men's rights forum. GTFO bigot.
Something is up with my flash player and I can't play the video. Does Arreola announce the fight in the video? Great co-main to Spence/Porter if it's true.
So this card isn't on Boxrec anymore. Anyone know if it was cancelled?

I've given this question a tremendous amount of thought over the years. A little background about myself- I'm a lifelong boxing fan. My dad boxed in the Marines and we watched boxing all the time in the 90's/early 00's (I'm 32). We ordered every Tyson, De La Hoya, and Holyfield fight. I grew up in Boise, ID (one of the whitest places in the country). We watched Friday Night Fights on ESPN religiously. Every time I brought up boxing to other kids at school people looked at me like I was speaking Chinese. Other than when Tyson bit Holyfield's ear, I never remember having a conversation about boxing with anyone my age. When I was 7 I asked my Dad "How come these guys are never white?"
Flash forward to the mid 2000's when the UFC really takes off. Every kid in the dorms watched the Ultimate Fighter. Just about everyone had wrestled at some point. I've been training at MMA/BJJ gyms since 2008. I'm a brown belt in Judo, purple belt in BJJ, and am 1-0 in amateur boxing. I regularly try to talk boxing with guys at my gym and only the dudes who live and breathe combat sports ever chime in when it comes to boxing. Here are my thoughts
1. The UFC had a ton of white stars who were relatable to kids from Idaho (Matt Hughes, GSP, Rich Franklin, etc). No "how come these dudes don't look like me?". Rural/Suburban areas send dudes to the top of MMA all the time (Scott Jorgensen is from Boise for instance). Who was the last famous boxer (white or otherwise) to come from a suburb.
2. Wrestling is huge in white culture. This cannot be overstated. White fans see familiarity in grappling when they might have little to no background in throwing punches.
3. Boxing wasn't on cable TV much when I was a kid. Luckily my sister had HBO, but the UFC is easier to digest. Tune into SPIKE/FS1/visit ufc.com and you can learn all you need to know.
4. Boxing is hard to follow. When you can't answer "Who is the champ" without a long explanation about sanctioning bodies, you aren't going to win over fans compared to a sport with a more unified structure like MMA.
5. Boxing cards are concentrated in areas with large minority populations. In Idaho (an incredibly white state) we've had 2 pro boxing cards in 10 years. We've had over 50 pro MMA cards (including the UFC and Bellator).
6. Boxing gyms are dominated by minorities, and most white people (whether they know it or not) are a bit racist. I enrolled at the only boxing gym in my area for 1 month when I was 12. I was the only white kid in the gym and all of the coaches were hispanic. After watching a few practices, my Mom all of a sudden became terrified at the idea of head trauma. For whatever reason this fear did not prevent her from allowing me to play football for another 2 years and ice hockey for another 6.
7. The whole "MMA vs boxing" convinced a generation of MMA fans (mostly white) that boxing was irrelevant and that MMA is the more evolved/"truer" form of combat.
That's my two cents. Sorry for the long post.
