I am sick to death of the liberty taking in British rings
Posted: 08 Jul 2013, 08:19
I`ve seen some things in my time and put up with some disgusting liberties being taken, but I have never EVER been so insulted and infuriated as by the appalling scenes I witnessed on Saturday night in Liverpool.
Firstly two little midgets were waving flags during the National Anthems of the Price v Thompson fight. One black (for Thompson) and the other White (for Price). Are they trying to start a race war on British soil? Why would they do this, knowing the history of midgets of colour and their white counterparts?
I have spoken to Tim Iny of the "Little people of America" www.lpaonline.org and he agrees that these two little blokes were only in the ring due to their physical stature, nothing else. It was bullying of the highest order and needs to be sorted out sharpish, or I for one will be looking elsewhere for my entertainment.
Before this, we were treated to a fantastic rendition of "Born in the USA" by a busker playing saxaphone. He appeared to be like a scrumpy jack pish where you thought it was finished but more just kept dribbling out. Although clearly skilled, I found it unforgivable that his backing group consisting of three fully kitted out soldiers with drums, refused to give him any back up at all. They just left the guy on his own to carry the whole show. When they eventually did play the drums, the sax player had gone and there was no one left to sing.
Two National Anthems were at least respectfully observed, apart from the return of the sax player who bastardised "God Save the queen"
We had no growling of the combatents names, another shocking omission.
I pay good money to watch boxing, but never in my life have I felt so appalled and disgusted by the sheer front of a promotion. Midgets, buskers, out of sync and outright disrespectful drummers, promoters crying, wife abuse being laughed up and ACCEPTED, swearing, dancing in the ring and God knows what else.
I am only thankfull that I was so stoned that instead of the above, I actually found it to be one of the most bizarre and hilarious pieces of live television that I have seen in many a day.
