Mayweather does another of his evil stunts

By Al S. Mendoza

IF you weren’t stunned, shocked, by what Floyd Mayweather Jr. has done, something’s wrong with you.

Sorry, but that’s my thesis.

Cruel?

But then, come to think of it.

Mayweather hit a defenseless foe and came out the winner by knockout.

But, of course.

Victor Ortiz was defenseless when he got banged up twice by Mayweather.  In the face.

When he got smacked, it had seemed like Ortiz got run over by a speeding train, if not by a 10-wheeler truck being driven by a speed freak.

But, of course.

Almost, you are DOTS (Dead On The Spot)!

Ortiz couldn’t get up at the count of 10.

But, of course.

He was still on his knees, crawling pitifully like a drunken man felled by shots in succession of tequila, gin, vodka, brandy, whiskey, bourbon, tuba, lambanog and basi.

When he came to, Ortiz had the humility to say, “My fault.  It was a learning experience for me.”

He was axed deliberately and he had the graciousness to blame himself?

For God so blessed the humble and they will be exalted.

Mayweather’s explanation for his merciless act?  “You have to protect yourself at all times.”

True.  Very true.

But how can you protect yourself when you aren’t looking?

How can you parry, duck, a punch when you didn’t know it was coming?

That wasn’t being smart on the part of Mayweather.

That wasn’t being intelligent on the part of the most cunning of all in boxing.

That was taking advantage of a situation that places all the advantages of one bent on committing murder. Plain and simple.

If this were killing in broad daylight, it was premeditated murder.  Plain and simple.

It was even like shooting a defenseless fellow in the back.  Plain and simple.

Yet, Mayweather is supposed to be the best, next only to Manny Pacquiao, of course.

Oh, well, you can always contend Mayweather didn’t break any law in boxing when he delivered those knockout blows, allowing him to steal Ortiz’s world welterweight crown.

I agree 1001 percent all the way.

But if you insist he didn’t break the law of men, of how to conduct yourself in a gun duel even, then you ought to have your coconut checked.

To be good in boxing is one thing, to be a gentleman is another.

What, you persist in saying you need not be a gentleman when fighting?

Uh-oh.

So, you will shoot a man armed with a mere slingshot dead?

If your answer is yes, then, fine, go on, wallow in your own stupidity.

I’m out of here.
