As I have mentioned before, I have been boxing heavy lately; the heaviest since my Golden Gloves days as a young pup. One of the things I really lost was my footwork. Here Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. breaks down how to jump rope:

The best I have ever seen jump rope was Roberto Duran when I was a kid. The internet is pretty wack though as there are no videos of him jumping rope. If anyone can find one, send it to me. It was truly amazing to watch.

Here is Roberto Duran for the young G’s out there who don’t know:

Now you know. Like my grandfather always said, “If you want a future in this Game, you have to know your history.”

Martinez Slices up Pavlik, Carving out a World Middleweight Championship Win

Using a combination of speed and movement with both his hands and feet, Sergio Martinez became the new Middleweight Champion of the World scoring a unanimous decision over Kelly Pavlik, Saturday night in Atlantic City.

Martinez took over the fight in the final rounds using his superior hand speed to bloody the face of the slower Pavlik. Where in earlier rounds, Martinez used movement to land quick combinations, the new champion used hand speed to sustain combinations to the bloodied face of Pavlik as the fight stretched into the championship rounds.

Money Mayweather on 24/7:

“I’m a machine because I can generate the most, not sh*tty Shane with the nose job… me, classy, clean cut, straight shooter. I approach everything in life like this… if you say f@ck me, I’m going to say f@ck you.” Mayweather went on to add: “Don’t disrespect me if you don’t want to be disrespected, period.”

“I’ve just seen the 1st episode. This dumb motherf@#ker said that he’s fighting me because other fighters said they were better than him. Man, you dumb motherf@#ker you almost 40 years old, you better be fighting for a check you dumb motherf@#ker.” Source

Mayweather is no Ali with the wordplay.

Here is young Cash Flow:

Thomas Hearns: How a millionaire goes broke

Hearns and middleweight champion Marvin Hagler had gone full-tilt for two-plus rounds in an outdoor arena at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Hearns staggered Hagler early and had him cut and bleeding in the third, but only moments later, Hearns’ handlers were carrying him back to his corner in defeat.

Kirschenbaum, who chaired the state boxing commission from 1981-92, slipped into Hearns’ dressing room to pay his condolences as the bleachers emptied. “Hey, Doc,” Hearns said, “don’t worry about me. I just made about $6 million.”

There’s a ferocious irony to that now. Half a million dollars behind on his house payments and $448,191 short to the IRS, Hearns signed autographs for $50 a pop a few weekends ago as an auctioneer gaveled off nearly 100 lots of his boats, off-road toys and memorabilia.

Bute Derails Miranda’s Latest “Last Chance”

IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute, 26-0 (21) went into Saturday night’s showdown with perennial title challenger Edison Miranda, 33-5 (29), with the pressure of fighting a power puncher, fighting on a co-main event on HBO and fighting in his home town of Montreal. To all ringside observers, Bute handled the pressure easily as he dispatched Miranda with a devastating uppercut at 1:20 of the third round.

There is also a pretty good show on HBO about the unfortunate deaths of Alexis “El Flaco Explosivo” Argüello, Arturo “Thunder” Gatti and Vernon “The Viper” Forrest.

Like Joyce Carol Oates once said, “Boxing has become America’s tragic theater.”

Floyd Mayweather’s Defense Explained

Here is a good video that explains Floyd Mayweather’s Defense. He shows how he counters the jab and the left hook.

Rhythm and tempo, although rarely talked about are some of the keys to Mayweather’s effectiveness as well as his unpredictability.

His style also relies on Relaxation and Conserving Energy.

These are all aspects one should use in Swooping Fly Girls.

Check it:

In This Corner with Floyd Mayweather

Many think that Floyd’s style is something new. It’s not.

Check out the late, great Argentinian Nicolino Locche. He was Floyd before Floyd was Floyd. Amazing.

I don’t have to add that Nicolino Locche was also a chain smoker/International Playboy. But we already knew that all great athlete’s were smokers.

The Future of Nightlife Game?

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

Admittedly so, my Tech Game is pretty faulty, but I watched this video a while back of Kevin Rose of Digg.com talking about the location based applications of Gowalla and Foursquare.

Gowalla and Foursquare, I am gathering are I-Phone type apps that bring all kinds of business value. But we are not concerned about that. We are concerned with how they apply to Swooping Fly Girls.

If you don’t want to watch the whole video, start watching at 3:45.

Basically these things can tell you who is in a Bar, Gentleman’s Club, Restaurant or Nightclub before you arrive.

So far, it really only seems like people in the Bay Area and NYC are using this, but it could be a huge future game changer in regards to swooping if you can tell how many girls and which girls are in a spot before going.

Will I ever use this?

No. These days I am actually getting less tech, than more tech. Too Big Brother for me. And I am way too old-school. (Although it could be used for creating a iron-clad alibi, and I don’t mean that Exotic Dancer from the Spearmint Rhino in Las Vegas named “Alibi” either. Real name Cindy.)

Still, it is easy to see the value proposition.

Too Short – Im A Player

Floyd “Money” Mayweather VS Sugar Shane Mosley 24/7

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

I have said it before, that when it comes to Television, I really can’t keep down my steak tartare, unless that Bourdain Show is on or HBO’s 24/7.

So far, Mayweather has been lighting up the trash talk:

On Sugar Shane: I’m doing Shane Mosley a favor. I’m letting him share the ring with greatness. The kid’s so desperate.

The kid has no class, no style at all.

Mosley says I only fight for money. You F*cking dummy. I’m a prize fighter. That’s what I am supposed to fight for. A prize.

and

Like I said before, how the fuck I wanna be like you Shane Mosley when everybody in the fight game wanna be The Uno. Kid got a Jheri Curl man. Come on man, its 2010. The kid must’ve woke up in that hot tub time machine.

Floyd Mayweather, a Master of Mental Warfare already seems to be getting to Sugar Shane.

Still, Mosley has a good shot at this one (my comments in bold) as the article below states:

“1. If you look at the names on Mayweather’s record, none of them would have been favored over Mosley. Mayweather decisioned fighters like Carlos Baldomir, Diego Corrales, Zab Judah and Juan Manuel Marquez. Mosley would have decapitated all of the above with relative ease.

Decent Point, however Diego Corrales was thought unbeatable at 130 before Floyd dismantled him, and Marquez was even with Pac-Man before Floyd proved otherwise.

2. Floyd Mayweather has never fought anyone who hits as hard as Shane Mosley. While Oscar DeLaHoya’s left hook is comparable to any shot Mosley throws, the Sugar Man’s arsenal is far more varied and dynamic than the Golden Boy’s. Mosley throws every shot with knockout power and can hurt Mayweather badly if he catches him. As Mosley’s trainer Nazim Richardson stated, “Mosley can KO anything that weighs 147lb, including pacquaio, mayweather, and even farm animals.”

Legit point.

3. Mosley is just as fast as Mayweather. While Mayweather is sneakier with his shots and probably has better timing, Mosley can deliver rapid fire punches with incredible accuracy. When fighting slick southpaw Louis Collazo, Mosley out crafted the slippery New Yorker from the outside with pin point punching and blazing hand speed.

They both are quicksilver fast. We will only know who is faster once they step into the ring.

4. While Mayweather always enters the ring in incredible shape, his punch output at 147lbs has dropped dramatically. Mayweather no longer punches in combination and is content to pot shot from the outside. This will not work against a fighter as busy as Shane. Mosley is a non stop punching machine who fights every minute of every round. While Mayweather may be able to out slick Mosley for parts of the bout, he will be forced at some point to fighting with the marauding Californian. And when he does, Shane will not let him off the hook easily.

Mayweather’s in the trenches fighting is very underrated. He also knows how to get away with every dirty trick in the book.

5. This is Mayweather’s first real challenge at welterweight. While Zab Judah, Sharmba Mitchell and Carlos Baldomir were pretty good, none come close to Shane Mosley. At 147, Mosley has fought and beat the very best with the exception of Vernon Forrest (a very, very underrated fighter who would have also given Mayweather serious problems) and a prime Miguel Cotto (and many people believe Mosley won that fight). Mayweather is untested at the weight, and for his first serious bout, Mosley is a very tall order.

People somehow forget that Shane was taxed twice by Winky Wright. And the late, great Vernon Forrest was never underrated.”

A lot of people hate Mayweather, however he has learned the key to making big fights: Have half the people love you and half the people hate you.

Sonny Liston once said, “A boxing match is like a cowboy movie. There’s got to be good guys and there’s got to be bad guys. And that’s what people pay for – to see the bad guys get beat.”

Since Decemeber, I have been more serious about Boxing since when I was a kid boxing Golden Gloves. Working out seven days a week and sparring three times a week. The thing I can say is that stepping in the ring again has made me appreciate Mayweather’s style more than ever.

Land and make your opponent miss.

The words I am about to express:
They now have their own crowned goddess. – Leandro Diaz

IT WAS INEVITABLE: the scent of Aguila and Aguardiente always reminded me of the fate of unrequited love; as I cold kicked back in a dope Tapas bar in Cartagena, Colombia with a fly Costeña named Lilia. We were grinding croquetas de pescado and Lomo Roquefort, while she was drinking Coco con Limon.

And yes, I always stay crispy clean; I got style, finesse, plus a nifty lean, whenever I hit the scene down here.

We were the last ones in the restaurant and it seemed like it was about to close; when in walked a party of nine. I made a mental note that the restaurant staff kind of jumped to attention. One of the ladies in the party, asked for a cenicero and sparked up. I noticed this as odd since smoking is mostly eradicated in Cartagena. I jumped on the opportunity and asked for a cenicero as well. And I also sparked up.

As I smell the aromatic fumes of gold cyanide, I notice something peculiar about the party of nine now seated in the restaurant. The table consists of one cat, dressed in white linen from head to toe and 8 women. The cat has mad presence.

He gets up to go to the restroom passes by me and gives me a smile. A “Game recognizes Game” type situation if you will.

It is only after he returns to his seat that our camarera informs us that the cat is none other than Gabriel García Márquez.

Truth be told, even though my girl was more fly than any girl at Gabriel García Márquez’s table, I have to give the victory to him.

Table with eight girls?

Camareras jumping to his every move?

Allowing smoking?

80 years old and straight rolling Playboy style?

Gabriel García Márquez unanimous decision over Michael Porfirio Mason.

Honestly, I don’t mind taking a loss like that.
