“Like putting lipstick on a pig.?
No doubt, the hottest expression in the boiling cauldron of politics right now. I had to wonder what would be boxing?s version(s) of applying lipstick to a porcine creature.
My list:
Glass-jawed Amir Khan continuing to work with ?I get quick results? trainer Jorge Rubio. Rubio may be Cuba?s worst export since the Marielito boatlift flooded South Florida with thugs and degenerates.
The Mississippi commission, which has a world title bout nearly every decade, having law enforcement ?eyeball and monitor? fight judges they do not sanction. Housecat Stolow, of the Dallas Stolows, suggests such ?illegal? judges be put into protective custody before they enter the arena. Anyone who does not agree it would?ve been scandalous if a second judge agreed with out to lunch Glen Hamada and delivered a split decision victory to Rocky Kastidis over Juan Diaz. Anyone who, if that happened in Houston last week, doesn?t realize Diaz handler Willie Savannah would have blamed Don King. Like King fixed the scoring by remote control or from outer space.
Having the Ole Miss boxing board in the news reminds those of us who?ve been there, done that, that the former commission chairman, Billy Lyons, once made racist remarks about Roy Jones being seen with a white girl. That used to be a hanging offense in the state. Does the name Emmett Till ring a historical bell? Not knowing that Ricardo Lois is on to something with his call for immediate accountability for judges like Hamada. Let them stand up in the ring as their whacky scores are announced or, as John Chavez suggests, make them go to the post-fight presser where questions may be asked. Instead, now they just run off into the shadows from whence they came.
The Jones-Calzaghe fight kicks off promotionally with a Tuesday press conference in NYC but, please, spare us an artificial ?war of words? between RJJ and Joe C. Wales. They?re not trash-talkers and their resumes say enough about their boxing skills. Not one more ticket or PPV household will be generated by either or both talking garbage.
That if the ignorant ?Guzrun? haters think he?s a runner, then they should watch ?Marathon Men? right before the Dominican and efficient Nate Campell answer the first bell.
See how angry Oskie Dolllar Hoya is in the above poster? He’s so mad he may pimp slap Freddie Roach next time he sees him. Not really since the Golden Boy should be sending free pizzas to Roach’s Wild card Gym every day to show his thanks for the Coach for providing him a suitable opponent for Dec. 6. Btw, hearing Oscar talk about his final fight and his impending retirement, that’s really putting lipstick on a pig. Seriously, ODLH really despises people who more added fortune to add to his already swollen coffers. He’s so mad he…wants to put lipstick on a…OK, I best stop here.
