INTERESTING IF NOTHING ELSE.
WE CAN ONLY REPORT THE FACTS !
A MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS BOXING CARD AT THE PALMS LAS VEGAS !
STARTED ON TIME....IT WAS 900 DEGREES IN THE MEDIA BALCONY SEATS WITH RAP MUSIC AT KICKOFF...3:15...TOUGH IT OUT....IT WAS NOT EASY....WE ARE CLOSE TO THE END OF CIVILIZATION.
THIS NINE BOUT CLUB CARD, A PERSONAL VENUE FOR MAYWEATHER TO PROMOTE HIMSELF AND HIS NEXT BOXING CARD.....A GUY WITH A ROVING MICROPHONE WAS THERE FOR THIS PURPOSE.
HERE ARE CONTINUING THOUGHTS AND REACTIONS TO THE EVENT.
THE ROVING GUY CONTRIBUTED NOTHING BUT FIGHT DELAYS AND HAD PRETTY MUCH THE SAME EFFECT AS THE 20 MINUTE MAYWEATHER VIDEO PRIOR TO THE TV FIGHTS. THE THREE TV FIGHTS ALL QUASI SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHTS 168ISH...NOT A FIGHTER IN THE BUNCH.
BOXING OF ANY QUALITY OR COMPETITION TOTALLY ABSENT ON THIS NIGHT.
RETURN TO THE DAYS OF TOP RANK BOXING CLUB CARDS WITH ALL THE HOUSE FIGHTERS IN THE BLUE CORNER ON THE LEFT OF THE LINEUP MATCH CARD...THEY ALL WERE PROGRAMMED AND MATCHED TO WIN....THEY DID FOR THE FIRST 8 FIGHTS....THEN ...THEN ...THEN AFTER FIVE HOURS IN THE HEAT....ROGELIO MEDINA 33-6-1 ...KNOCKED OUT J'lLEON LOVE 18-1 IN 39 SECONDS OF THE THIRD ROUND...TRULY AN UPSET WITH LOVE TAKING HIS FIRST LOSS AND ON THE MAT.
WE STILL LOVE BOXING OVER ANY OF THE OTHER "FIGHT" CONTESTS AND APPRECIATE MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS MAKING THE CARD AND MAKING IT AVAILABLE TO THE LOWER MASSES....JUST NOT MUCH COMPETITION IN THIS RAP MAZED STEAMHOUSE ON THIS NIGHT.
THEY RAN THE FIGHTS RELATIVELY CLOSE TOGETHER BUT SEVEN HOURS IN THE HEAT WAS A LOAD !
