Whatchagonnado: Bob Arum Liar Liar Top Rank On Fire & Gennady “GGG” Golovkin is About to Devour a Cub!

whatcha-gonna-doBy Roy “Sharpshooter” Bennett

So Bob Arum threw Manny Pacquiao under the bus. Sure Manny messed up with his insensitive and remarks about a certain group of people that religious zealots have been hounding for centuries. But it looks to me that now Arum has squeezed very last cent out of his biggest earner since Oscar De La Hoya he was quick to throw Manny on the bonfire of public opinion AND add more kerosene to the flames. This is the same MF that once said, “Yesterday I was lying. Today I’m telling the truth.”

Which brings me to my next topic. Arum has recently said in an interview that the Vasyl Lomachenko v Nicholas Walters fight has been made. But in the absence of a date for the fight, no network on which to show the fight, AND no word from either fighter to corroborate Arum’s claim begs the question.

Is Bob Arum Lying or Telling the Truth?

One thing I do know that’s true is that British heavyweight sensation Anthony Joshua has landed a world title shot against newly crowned IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin on April 9th in London, England. But I must be missing something. Which top ranked contender did Joshua open a can of whoop ass on to secure his shot? Which fight did he win that was designated a final eliminator? I’ll wait. But it ain’t no fun watching the tumbleweeds roll past the saloon door. Hey bartender! I’ll have another bottle of JD! Bring it over!

As I was staring into the bottom of my empty glass it dawned on me that Dominic Wade has been given a one way ticket on a bus to Hell. To his credit he’s putting a brave face on the prospect of feeling his insides explode when the demon spawn that is “GGG” buries his arm up to his elbow in Wade’s ass. Let’s not kid ourselves here. We all know how this is gonna end. I just hope the homie doesn’t get badly hurt. And in the meantime Canelo is trying to sell Amir Khan as a legitimate threat. SMDH. You couldn’t make it up.

Guillermo Rigondeaux has packed his bags and is off to England – where he’ll definitely get more love – to fight someone called Jazza Dickens. Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg will be watching from behind their mothers aprons. What has boxing come to?

But we boxing fans will soldier like we always do until s*** levels out. It damn well better do. As the roll call chief used to say in the hit TV cop drama Hill Street Blues, “Be careful out there people!”
