When do you see a fight that has reached a
conclusion, but has never happened at all?
Whether Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
would still fight in the future or not, who cares now? The
bout is well over. And the world has come to an end for the “Fight
of the Century.”
Whatever may lie ahead for Pac and Floyd with
regard to their “endlessly anticipated” boxing contest is not nearly
as important as what has been unfolding right before our very eyes.
Every line and episode would tell everyone the real score in the
absence of incompetent corrupt judges and out of reach of an inept
bias referee.
Mayweather and Bob Arum are twins. They have
similar ways with words to get what they want, but they don’t know
we have a way with reason to unmask them. The points are
lucid, bright as sky after heavy downpour.
Other than a fight with the Filipino congressman,
boxing fans want nothing from the jail-bound “Pretty Boy.” It is a
fight with Pacquiao that matters to them, no less.
But Floyd continues to duck Pacquiao and enjoys
taking boxing for a ride. His seemingly challenging
“tweets” and “calls” to “Miss Pac Man” are mere cloaks to hide his
true intentions. Floyd is looking for a convincing justification to
sell his fight with another “cherry-picked” boxer, THAT’S WHY!
He came out “boldly” with a “tweet-call-drama” to convince us that
he no longer ducks Pacquiao. But he does, because it was only
a drama.
Mayweather is most afraid of two things. One
is Pacquiao, and the other is the scenario that any of his
fights outside of Pacquiao may not go off well profit-wise due to
the fact that the boxing world is likely to boycott such Mayweather
fight just as he and his camp were made to indelibly understand
after the Mayweather-Ortiz farce.
To backstage, Floyd!

Reni’s interest in
boxing dates back during his elementary and high school days
when he would
be asked to compete in
boxing matches especially during community fiesta celebrations
representing the place in Manila where he grew up. He fought in
boxing competitions probably the same number of times that he
joined in singing contests also during fiestas of the same
period.
Reni took part in different
songwriting festivals but it was his God-given talent in drawing
and painting that made him win the grand prize.
A graduate of
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, he has been into
different business ventures and currently owns and manages a
herbal production and trade company. Reni is a resource speaker
in different Christian mission gatherings and forums. He travels
to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in various congregations.
He is into other sports
interests like basketball, table tennis and swimming.
Reni loves writing. But his
one most consuming passion
is the Word of God.
