RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION

IN BOXING

By Reni M. Valenzuela

For the unimaginable evils that Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has done, and is doing in boxing, to his wife, father, Pacman , Golden  Boy,  and  to  everyone  of  us,  the whole boxing world should be raging in righteous indignation by now.

No doubt, Mayweather possesses exceptional skills in boxing but just like hiring an employee, you don’t just look at the resume submitted, you check on the “flipside” of the person’s skills or abilities which are attitudes, streaks and character.   And more often than not, that’s where an applicant is rejected after having passed all the other qualifications.

A certain Holyfield has just commented on an internet boxing article:  “If Mayweather, Jr. is the face of boxing today, just as he continues to insist, I don’t want to see boxing anymore.” 

Or, I would have preferred to be born a century ago to enjoy the sport, and in the process become a better man.

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.
