This Monday has been a familiar one. A Monday I've lived a time or ten in my past. A Monday after a Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight weekend. You see, typically I watch this world class fighter humiliate his opponents with superior boxing skill and ring generalship on Saturday - only to be hit with a barrage of non-ring related excuses as to why Floyd isn't the best in the world on Monday. I have to say, this particular Monday has not failed to live up to my expectations. Prior to this fight, everybody said Juan Manuel Marquez wouldn't be a push-over opponent Floyd. That he'd overwhelm Floyd with his attack and toughness. That Floyd picked a tougher "comeback" opponent than he thought. It couldn't have been further from what unfolded.
So, I watch this glorified sparring session (in which Floyd lost no rounds) and see an excellent display of both offensive and defensive technique. It's obvious that Marquez was not only outweighed, but outclassed by a better fighter. But I didn't even have to wait for the Floyd haters to put a spin on it. No, Max Kellerman took care of that himself. When, as usual, he chose to use the post-fight interview to address everything but the actual fight. After a confrontation with Shane Mosley and Golden Boy promotions, a visibly annoyed Floyd (that rhymes!) told Kellerman that he runs his mouth too much and left the ring.
Like Floyd, Mondays after a fight weekend serve as my post-bout interview. Like Floyd, I'm hearing naysayers speak on everything except what happened in the ring to discredit his performance. And lastly, like Floyd, I'm telling you all to shut the fuck up because you run your mouth too much. Sit back - watch the best go to work - and enjoy it. Cocksuckas!
Mosley, you're my boy - but you know it was disrespectful.
Manny Pac, I respect what you do with them gloves. But you know Floyd was auditioning to whip your ass, right?
By the way, Paul Williams in my favorite active fighter. I just know Floyd is THAT dude. Who's fuckin with Punisher, though? He gonna put the beats on Pavlik.
Enjoy your week, peepuhs.
