I was definitely in the Mexican spirit yesterday in honor Cinco de Mayo :)
Despite the un-Mexican type weather we had (windy, dreary and cold), it was a pretty good day. Had to have me some good Mexican food (I realize that is bad grammar), but we decided not to brave it down on the West Side where the "real" Cinco celebration was happening. Went to La Casita instead....
Yummy margarita and chips w/ salsa...
And the biggest platter of food I have ever seen....for less than $12! I have not yet written my review yet, but it was excellent!
Later in the evening I went to my neighbor's house to watch the Big Fight between my man Oscar de La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Enjoyed plenty of Corona, margaritas and pico de gallo while I was there!
Okay, so its Cinco de Mayo; Oscar is Mexican, Mayweather is not, right? So despite that fact, Mayweather makes his entrance into the arena wearing a robe in green, white and red and he is wearing the largest freaking white sombrero I have ever seen. he looked like clown!! It was funny, but also seemed to be mocking the Mexican culture. Either that or he thought he was showing respect??!!! Who knows....
It was a pretty good fight, but neither of them stood out, and neither of them got very hurt. It went the full 12 rounds without so much as a knock-down. Here is The Sport Network's rundown of the fight. Those of you who are boxing fans always know that when it comes down to a decision, there is usually politics or some other funny business happening. They ended up giving it to Mayweather by split decision. Bullshit!!! It should've been a draw, IMO. Oscar still reigns as champ in my book ;) Either way, they both made out like bandits ( It has been reported that Oscar will earn at least $25 million for the fight, and Floyd will earn at least $10 million.)
More about Oscar.... his wife, Millie Corretjer, 
was watching the fight last night. She is cute, but looked about 18 years old. She is a famous singer in Puerto Rico.
YOU JUST MADE ME HUNGRY!!!! YUM! LOL

that wasnt a fight it was a sparring match, and a joke at that. it was boxings chance to put on a real match between two fighters, and they fucked it up, as usual, and then had the balls to disrespect mma, and say those guys are lightyears ahead in skill, over the best mma fighters, they must not watch pride, ufc, bodog, and all the other mma shows dominating the world, and putting boxing in the toilet where it belongs, bottom line the best are supposed to fight the best to find out who is king, and boxing dont do that, there isnt a boxing heavy wieght champ, because of that...........
