People are still talking about the explosive, disturbing meltdown between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Floyd Mayweather, Sr. in the debut episode of 24/7 Mayweather-Ortiz. Some are so turned off by it they said they now would not purchase the pay-per-view for Mayweather's welterweight bout against Victor Ortiz, and with children crying in the background as the soundtrack, it was most definitely an ugly scene; some are entranced, such as myself, even if I found it to be all part of the same Mayweather good/evil/fake/real cycle; some are finding it to be comedic material, because sometimes being a boxing fan means having to have a love of gallows humor.
But a big portion of the response has been who was right and who was wrong.
So I thought I'd put on my Kenny Bayless stripes -- rather than my Russell Mora stripes, since in this father-son bout low blows definitely should result in lost points -- and referee it up. The standard isn't clean punching and effective aggression. It's about whose claims are least factual and who's most responsible for escalation of hostilities.
