FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR.

By Reni M. Valenzuela

All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather, Jr., indeed, as he  proudly  claims to send him a serious message.

Until Mayweather stops dodging Manny Pacquiao, drops his boundless, arrogant excuses and heeds the insistent popular clamor for him to fight Pacman, no boxing fan in his right mind would be delighted to watch any Mayweather bout, whoever his opponent may be. And nothing can be better for the sport of boxing.

It is reported that tickets are selling slowly (compared to previous Mayweather fights) for the September 17 welterweight contest between Mayweather and Victor Ortiz, just as it has been   foreseen that only Floyd’s fanatical “legions” of fans, and few innocent ones, will watch the show.

The air is thick and heavy these days, but the silent protest over the “good” boy of boxing gets even thicker and heavier. And if the situation persists, expect boxing, amid thunderous showers and storms, to resurrect sooner than anyone can think or imagine.  Do yourself a favor.

On fight night, sweet dreams.

www.ringsideboxingshow.com 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. renimvalenzuela@yahoo.com
