Whatchagonnado: Lie To Me and Keep a Straight Face – BS In Boxing Has Had Its Day!

whatcha-gonna-doBy Roy “Sharpshooter” Bennett

I’ve become that guy. The guy who sees that money talks and BS walks everywhere you look. And the BS in boxing is so thick nowadays you could stand a baseball bat up in it. Either that or it’s running down the walls stinking the joint out.

We’ve got the WBC – aka We Be Crooked – saying they were gonna strip Canelo Alvarez unless he agreed by a deadline to meet “GGG” in May. Everybody was counting down the days till the deadline came and went. NOTHING HAPPENED! The WBC moved the goalposts to give their native son a way out of having to sign for the fight. That’s when I threw the sofa out the window. I live in a bad neighborhood so by the time I went downstairs to retrieve it was gone. SMDH. So now I’m really f****** pissed!

To the WBC – wannabe IOC, cheating, lying MF’ers – I say, GTFOH with that BS! Take a big fat dump on the fans like that and we’re gonna boycott your next convention. Yep. That’s how we roll.

We got all the top middleweights out to lunch when “GGG” comes calling. SMH. Where’s the pride, holmes? And then that poor kid – Dominic Wade – gets suckered into signing on the dotted line. That kid is gonna be roadkill, man! Ain’t nobody lookin’ out for this kid’s best interest at all. Damn shame if you ask me. This fight right here might ruin any future prospects he might have had if he takes a bad beatdown. His people have put their greed for Benjamin’s before his welfare and it leaves a sour taste. This isn’t a, “big opportunity” in the traditional sense. This isn’t even a calculated gamble. Wade has NO CHANCE of winning.

We’ve got Leo Santa Cruz picking on the smallest kid in the neighborhood. Little Kiko Martinez who Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg already soundly beat up. Anything to avoid that ass whoopin’ from Rigondeaux that Santa Cruz knows is coming his way.While the middleweights were out to lunch when “GGG” came calling, the super bantamweights all have hairdressing appointments suddenly booked when Rigondeaux’s name even gets mentioned.

When the Cuban maestro whooped on Nonito Donaire – the house favorite – a couple years back he become persona non grata. Forced to take his show on the road just to stay active he fought twice in Asia. Out of sight out of mind.

Not my sight or mind though. I was at his fight in Macau, China. Yeah, I’m a no good, low down hustler like that. I get around. When he came back to the U.S. and won a lackluster 10 round decision against Drian Francisco he got s*** on for not fighting with his face and giving casual ass boxing “fans” a Gatti Vs Ward type brain rattling brawl. But here’s the thing. If Rigondeaux looks like a killer guys start digging holes in the forest at night and climbing into them with a year’s supply of milk and cookies. If he looks like an aging, safety first pure boxer with no pop the same guys – and their delusional supporters – say he’s, “Boring,” and, “We can’t make any money with him.”Can you believe that s***! Really it’s just another way of saying, “I don’t wanna get my ass beat up AND seriously embarrassed on a PPV card in front of millions of people no matter how much you pay me.”

Ya’ll middleweights and super bantams better listen up. Cut the crap and grow a pair of big hairy f****** balls. S*** OR GET OFF THE POT! Or I’m gonna start a Million Boxing Fan movement. Yeah. That’s right. We gonna boycott every MF’ing PPV from here to Mars unless we start gettin’ the fights that really mean something to US and the sport. Don’t test me on this MF’ers!!! Now where’s my sofa at?
