Normally when it's a big PPV Showdown...the Wackster get's all up in the air. I start screamin & hollerin about who's gonna do dis & who's gonna do dat!!!
You'll hear none of that on this Drunken Round by Round!
This weekend my all time favorite fighter climbs over the ropes & back into the ring to face my all time most hated fighter for what I feel will be one of the biggest let downs this year in boxing...unless of course you factor in the Hopkins Taylor fights...& that was soooooooo last year Becky! I'm soooooooooo over it! Becky! Heh heh heh.
Anywho, this weekend Saturday May the 6th, 2006 my Latin hero Oscar De la Hoya (37 wins with 29 ko's & 4 losses) kicks off his retirement tour against Nicaragua's potty moufs of all potty moufs Ricardo Mayorga (28 wins with 23 ko's, 5 losses, & 1 draw) for the rights to say...I own & wear the WBC's Light Middleweight title...hooooooooooorah!
Generally...I'm all giddy over big fights...but honestly...this one really hasn't done shat for me. Maybe it's the corny a** "Danger Zone" spot that HBO broadcasts more than a hooka crams...well...you know what most of the cram down therr throats! Thanks HBO...thanks for making me feel like a hooka! Maybe it's the fact that my boy's a bit long in the tooth & shoulda just hung em up after the Hopkins loss...or maybe it's just the fact that I despise Ricardo Mayorga.
Whatever it is...I'll be here for the fight...because I love boxing...& we gotta have the DRBR by any means necessary.
That being said...a little rundown...not a breakdown...not an analysis...just a fwockin half hearted rundown...
Speaking of which...that's about what we'll be getting.
I'm sorry to say...a battle of the rundowns.
Oscar's been on the slide for about the past three years. He knows it, his fans know it, HBO knows it...hence the reason that they are touting Mayweather as the next Golden Boy...but that's another story for another day.
Oscar's been jumping up in weight & has ruined his career in doing so...that along with the fact that he has faced the best that those divisions he wanted to conquer had to offer is the reason that retirement is imminent. What more can you really say? We can go over Oscar's career...& it was brilliant...but the truth of the matter is that it is coming to an end. He's been in too many wars & he's got his mind & heart on other matters...money, promotions, & his family. Nothing wrong with that. If he does beat Mayorga & walks away...he will have done what most in boxing can not & do not do...retire wealthy, happy, & healthy.
On to Mayorga...honestly...I shouldn't be the one to judge Mayorga...just because I can't stand him & I think that he is bad for boxing. I was impressed with his destruction of Forrest...I really was...& I am a fan of Forrest....I was amused by his antics in the ring...but only momentarily. I was really impressed with his loss to Spinks...it showed his versatility. He's a bit out of control...& I know that shat sells to the younger generation of boxing/MMA fans...but he's just bad for boxing. Who wants to see him run around grabbing his dick & belittling his opponents that way...talk in the ring & do it with your fists...either that or get your a** handed to you by real men once you climb into the ring.
I favor the latter most.
Mayorga does entertain...but at what cost? Either way...Mayorga's fun to watch in the ring...but for purists...he's not. He's nothing more than a sideshow act that needs to calm himself to a professional level.
As for the outcome...I predict Oscar by TKO. I never bet against Oscar...even when the chips are down...but if Mayorga were to win...I'd be impressed...if Oscar destroys him...like I think that he will...I will be what most Mayorga fans are...amused.
So...as always...break out the chips & salsa...your poison of choice & pick your spot on the couch...Saturday May 6th, 2006 is fight night & it's on like Donkey Kong!
Cheers...& koneecheewah bitches.
