"Things Most Likely to be Mentioned Again and Again and Again".
This weekend has been nothing short of exceptional mainly because of 3 things: booze, boxing and balls.
I spent my Saturday night catching up with my High School friends. Food was abundantly abundant. But the booze was everywhere. There were more than enough beers and liquor for everybody and my friends and I could not be happier about it. It was just like our High School days, except today, everybody's doing their own thing. Law School, work, Master's, business, bumming around. It was a night filled with laughter and curses and rambunctiousness. Just good old friends sharing a truly fun night with each other.
Then came Sunday. Sunday was even more eventful and jam packed. It was a day purely made for sports fans worldwide. The day started with a UFC fight between Nate Diaz and Jim Miller. This was breakfast for all of the sports fans out there. Perfect way to start off the day. Then lunch was served with the Mayweather-Cotto fight. It was an interesting boxing match not because these two players were battling each other like gladiators would when faced with rabid tigers or really pissed off opponents. It was interesting because of Cotto's pink high socks and Justin Bieber.
I have nothing against the color pink. I think it's a decent color. But seeing a full grown man, whose occupation is to punch another guy in a ring, where millions of people worldwide are watching his every move, I personally would think twice of wearing those pink high socks. I guess that's one of the many differences between Cotto and I. I could only guess why he would do such a thing. Maybe it was a tactic of some sort, devised to make Mayweather suffer Vertigo. If this was the case, Cotto's side should think of other strategies, preferably without the usage of high socks of any color.
But the more interesting thing about their fight happened before the fight actually began. When Mayweather went out of the locker room, he was accompanied by 5 or so members of his entourage holding proudly the championship belts he collected throughout the years. And then I saw him. I thought my eyes were fooling me but it's real, he's real. Justin Bieber, no other than the swag-incarnate himself, was walking with this undefeated champ. It was a sight to behold. Justin Bieber was like Captain America, before being injected with the super serum. All throughout the fight I thought Cotto's Achilles' heel was the super high pink socks that he so proudly wore. But I was gravely mistaken. Cotto lost because he wasn't prepared to be in the same vicinity with the Bieb.
After this fight, another one broke out of control between Mon Tulfo and spouses Claudine Barretto and Raymart Santiago. Honestly, I still feel disgusted by the actions of these puerile people. Cheap and utterly disgusting. By now the video of their brawl has gone viral. Watch it and you'll see what I mean.
Thankfully, the day has been saved by what seemed like one of the greatest PBA Finals in the country. Dinner has been brought to us by the intense basketball match between Talk 'N Text and B-Meg. And boy, what a fantastic dinner that was. It was long and scrumptious and filling until the very end. The match between these two teams extended into overtime, thanks to Denzel Bowles. It was a sweet victory for the B-Meg Llamados. But it was an even sweeter one for all PBA fans out there.
