The May Ride Song by Robert Brizel, to the Music of Sleigh Ride
Just hear those ring bells jingle-ing
See fighters ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it’s lovely May weather
For a ride with Golden Boy blue.
Outside the crowd is mixing
With a ticket fixing or two
Come on it’s Robert Guerrero
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and You!
Diddy-yap Diddy-yap Diddy-yap let’s go
Let’s look at the show
Pretty Boy Money and The Ghost fighting to-to-toe!
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it’s grand
Showtime at MGM Grand
Both fighters fighting along
In the Liberace Las Vegas flashing land…….
Their cheeks are bloody rosy
Corner stools not so cozy but hey
Floyd wants to only have his way
Ghost wants da biggie biggie payday.
Let’s take the fight before us
And please don’t bore us, it’s true
Come on, it’s lovely May weather
For a win by Floyd Mayweather anew.
There’s a betting line casinos say Floyd’s gonna win
It’ll be a perfect ending so drink your beer, soda and gin
We’ll be watching the fights we want to see without a single stop
Rock the coffee table while we watch bunches in punches rock….Pop pop pop!
There’s a happy feeling no promoter in the world can buy
Floyd will win no matter how hard Robert Guerrero will try
Forty four and zero is a record stinky Pacman just can’t buy
These wonderful boxing things fans remember all through their lives
Bring back Muhammad Ali excitement like its the fourth of July.
Floyd will win, so I say boxing friends let it be
Cause after this bout’s over Pretty Boy will ice Canelo for free.
And now that I have got your attention, this is my response to those critics who disagree with my prediction Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going to defeat Robert Guerrero Jr. in the 91 degree heat of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the main event at the MGM Grand Hotel, on Saturday evening, May 4, 2013.
Despite the extreme temperature, Las Vegas does not have humidity along with the heat. As such, Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Robert Guerrero will be a good fight, call it a ‘May Ride’, as in my poetry pun poem above which spoofs the Christmas song ‘Sleigh Ride’.
Yes it is going to be hot in Las Vegas, but whatever the temperature is, humidity or not, over 90 degrees the hot weather will eventually take its toll on the combatants. Muhammad Ali took a doomful torture in the desert on a hot night against Larry Holmes. Ali and Holmes were heavyweights. Mayweather and Robert Guerrero are welterweights, which at 147 pounds is a lot lighter and smaller.
Floyd is always in top condition. For me, the question on the eve of the fight is whether or not Floyd can withstand Guerrero’s attacks in the heat. Having seen Vincente Escobedo go the ten round distance with Robert Guerrero in November 2010 (and two other fighters have since knocked out Escobedo in 2012 and 2013), one can feel confident Floyd can put up a much better performance than Escobedo.
To defeat Robert Guerrero, Floyd must throw and land punches in bunches. On this occasion, a one punch knockout will not do it for Floyd. This time, Floyd must overwhelm his opponent. Floyd must keep moving on his as often as he can.
Floyd cannot fight on the ropes. If Floyd does, he will be in a great deal of trouble.
There will be a lot of clinches in pinches. Guerrero has the ability to outslick Mayweather. To counter this, Floyd must use his ring generalship to outclass Guerrero by executing his game plan and plan of attack to absolute perfection.
Guerrero will put pressure on Floyd to try to put Floyd in a defensive mode and keep him there. Floyd likes to keep his left should up for defense. Guerrero will try to hit Floyd’s shoulder and take Floyd’s defense away. Floyd has to keep moving, throwing punches in punches out of range for the first six or seven rounds, and keep moving. Floyd cannot stand still. In the second half of the bout, if Floyd has kept the tempo fast and furious and manage to get Guerrero to tire slightly, Floyd will then take the fight to the inside, wear Guerrero down, and stop him in the late rounds.
Regardless of his game plan, Floyd has to keep moving, and throw punches in bunches. That’s the only way he’s going to control the fight. Against Guerrero, even with this high level fight understandings, Floyd is going to have a hard time and some ‘moments’ as this fight is the real deal, and Floyd will be fighting for his life.
