Little Men are All Heart

After seeing T.I. in ATL last weekend and witnessing the crazy chain of events that was the Mayweather-Judah fight this weekend.

I have one initial random observation - little men are all heart.


In the film ATL, scars were clearly visible on T.I. lips. Many claim that those scars are from the beatdown T.I. received when he - crazy out his mind - went to Houston looking for Lil Flip during their beef - as if it has ended. Legend has it that some big dude (I don't know if he was affiliated w/ Flip) busted T.I. in the mouth causing T.I. to bite through his bottom lip.

Random Observation: Now correct me if I'm wrong, but you got to be one sandwich short of a picnic to go to someone else's hood, which just happens to be about 800 miles away from your own hood, looking for beef. I mean, look at this dude in the pic below. This little man put the smack down on the Billboard charts and knocked out his acting debut all the while talking shiz-nit through some lips that have probably been busted more than once. I mean I still don't know who he's the King of, but the fact that he thinks he is only furthers my point.

Saturday night, "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather fought Zab "Super" Judah in Las Vegas for the IBF Welterweight Belt. (For all my ladies, welterweight describes boxers weighing between 140-147 pounds.) Everyone I spoke to and every journalist who wrote a pre-fight article was certain Mayweather would win, but anticipated the battle nonetheless. Well, the fight turned out to be entertaining, to say the least. First, Judah, the southpaw (left-handed, ladies), seemed to catch Mayweather offguard by sticking with him and by just plain sticking him. (Look at the pic above. Zab is tagging Pretty Boy Floyd with the left.) Mayweather appeared hurt in the second round.

Then after the tables started to turn, Judah (many believe intentionally) punched Mayweather "where the sun don't shine" and then in the back of the head in the 10th round. Trainer/uncles and trainer/daddies went to jumping in the ring. At one point, I think Pretty Boy Floyd's uncle choked up Zab - at least that's what the highly credible Don King alleged.

On the left, Mayweather reacts to the low blow.

Random Observation: Is that faux fur on his trunks? Fierce!?!?!

On the right, Pretty Boy Floyd's trainer/uncle, Roger "Black Mamba" Mayweather, is restrained.

Ultimately, Mayweather won the fight to no one's surprise.

Random Obersvation: Thank you, Pretty Boy Floyd, for shaving your underarms. It used to be so gross watching Roy Jones fight with all that "taco meat" on his chest and under his arms.

Random Observation: He's still fine, though. Roy, that is., even though he hasn't won a fight since the Reagan administration (I'm exaggerating).

Look at what Pretty Boy Floyd did to Zab's eye, but Mayweather worked Judah's body over pretty good too. Still, I think Judah will be hitting up the nightclubs and music videos in no time.

Random Observation: After the movie last weekend and the fight this weekend, I think little men might be what' s hot in the streets for summer 2006. Ladies, if heart is a quality you seek in a man, look no further than the little man.

PS: By little man I mean anyone under 5'8" and under 150 lbs.

Go forth. Be random!
