Borges on Boxing: Only One Mayweather was Brilliant.

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS - Floyd Mayweather was brilliant Saturday night. His uncle Roger? Now that's another story.

Nitwits abound in America, which is why Las Vegas exists. It takes advantage of them every day, deluding them into thinking they have a chance against a house with every card, spin and throw loaded against them. Roger Mayweather should know that.

A former world champion once known as "Black Mamba,'' he's lived for many years in Vegas, fought in its biggest arenas, won and lost world championships there before taking over the full-time training of his nephew, who just happens to be the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. He understands well how both the city and its leading sport work. Yet he bit on a sucker's bet Saturday night after a well-beaten Zab Judah launched a desperation low blow so far below the Mason-Dixon line it was whistling "Dixie'' on its way to striking young Mayweather squarely in the center of his leather cup.

mayweather was acting as a family member. no one wants to see people in there family get hurt in a way that is uncalled for in boxing. shouldnt of jumped in there, but the othe guy should of never taken a swing at him.

you wrote "Inside the ropes, a melee broke out that resulted in Judah's father rushing in and his son dropping the elder Mayweather with the best punch he threw all night."......


I know you need some sort of sensationalism in your articles to entertain you readers but talk about actual facts. This embellishment of events doesn't help anything. Yes we know that Floyd beat up Zab. Yes we know that Floyd doesn't have to give Zab another shot....I think the fans would like to see it but he did beat Zab convincingly....However Zab never punch and drop Roger Mayweather...his punch hit Leonard Ellerbe....and then he was dropped by Roger Mayweather via choke hold....
