\"\"<\/a>By Geno McGahee<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t written one of these in quite a while, but I felt it was due, and although it\u2019s called \u201cGeno\u2019s Boxing Corner,\u201d I cannot stick exclusively to the sport we all love. Mel Gibson must be addressed.<\/p>\n

I am a big fan of Gibson\u2019s work. His dramatic overacting in RANSOM still amazes me and his sexual harassment of police officers may be wrong, but I found the term \u201cSugar T**s\u201d amusing.<\/p>\n

Anyone that uses that term cannot be all right. I never saw THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST and I don\u2019t really have any desire to. I\u2019m not a fan of religious movies. The only religious movie that I seem to enjoy was SIGNS, another Gibson movie where he plays a Reverend that loses his faith when his wife dies only to have it restored when aliens invade. The most recent movie that Gibson starred in was EDGE OF DARKNESS, a film that was shot in Massachusetts. I remember the press release that was sent out to the hopeful extras in the movie: \u201cDo not speak to Mr. Gibson. Do not look upset. Always smile.\u201d What? How can you smile when he\u2019s calling you \u201csugar t**s?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bad news seems to follow Gibson around, mostly stemming from his drunken racist comments, but now it has apparently escalated. His ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, reportedly has two of her front teeth punched out by her Lethal Weapon hubby and to prove the abuse, she taped his tirade, which wasn\u2019t pretty. He allegedly said:<\/p>\n

\u201c’You’re an embarrassment to me. You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n******(racial slur), it will be your fault.\u201d<\/p>\n

I think that the cat has been out of the bag on Gibson for some time. He is a racist, although I think that he may have said some things in the heat of the battle while half in the bag and may not have truly meant them. If he beat the hell out of her, which seems to be the case, there is no real excuse for that. She is correct to get a restraining order against him and pursue it criminally.<\/p>\n

A good thing may come out of this. Hopefully the writers at LAW & ORDER will write another episode about him. Remember when Chevy Chase played a Gibson-like star, going as far as to call a female cop \u201csugar t**s?\u201d It\u2019s one of my favorite episodes.<\/p>\n

Even though our society tends to label people guilty until proven innocent, I hope that we can all not pass judgment on him. Remember, he was cleared of all previous charges. He may only be guilty of being a drunken potty mouth.<\/p>\n

Brock Lesnar\u2026the Next Big Thing <\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember when Brock Lesnar was \u201cthe next big thing,\u201d in wrestling, but after watching the attention that his UFC Title defense got last weekend, I think it\u2019s fair to say that he\u2019s one of the biggest names in sports. I watched his bout with Shane Carwin and I was excited to see it and I\u2019m not an MMA fan. I haven\u2019t really watched much of it since the infancy of the UFC tournament when they used to have heavyweights battling lightweights\u2026it was insane. I watched Kimbo Slice fight a few times\u2026I\u2019m probably the sort of fan that real MMA fans despise. Brock may not be the best fighter in the world, but his strength and the high knockout record of Carwin coupled with the great marketing of the fight made it a must see.<\/p>\n

Overall, it was exciting. Carwin struck first with a left uppercut that rattled Lesnar, but he kept his cool and came back and made a tired Carwin tap out. Without the hype, it wouldn\u2019t have been as exciting, but the UFC and MMA as a whole is more fan friendly than boxing. They know how to sell a fight\u2026something that Don King used to do so well. He told the story and created some of the greatest matches in history.<\/p>\n

Boxing could learn from the UFC.
