Crazy when you think about it, Orlando Cruz comes out and is thrown parades and main stream praise. Mack just mangled it with writing a book and lawsuit BS and panicked after a part of his personal life is revealed. Forced out really and thrust into the pubic eye?
Was Trainer Monkey his mystery trainer/poster? I thought it was Dan Birmingham...well anyway he was shit soon after. Gatekeeper material though. Who gives a shit if someone is gay anymore, I think about half America is nowadays. The forefather of gay boxers will always be Emile Griffith he was gay back when it was a certain end to your career and or getting fucking lynched.
Was bored and watching some 15-minute doc on HBO about Canelo before the Kirkland fight. At one point the HBO crew interviews Kirkland and pretty much asks him about the pressure he plans to put on Canelo. Kirkland, bless his soul, pauses and says: "I want to be so close to him it's gonna seem like we're f*cking."
At that point, I smiled and thought how this type of comment would've affected Yusaf had he been the opponent.
