As promised, we're bringing you some reggae dedicated to boxing. We are all witness to one of the greatest moments in boxing when Manny "The Pacman" Pacquiao delivered a straight left to the jaw of the British champ Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton that sent him flat to the canvas on the last 9 seconds of the 2nd round. His annihilation of Hatton was incredible and almost shocking because the Hitman was supposed to be a more competitive opponent than De la Hoya. When the fight ended with Hatton flat on his back, Roach proved his point and Mayweather looked like shit. Worse of all, instead of taking the loss like a man, Mayweather did the ultimate by blaming Hatton and absolving himself. He said Hatton didn’t follow his instructions to feint, make Pacquiao think twice before unloading and hold up his right to protect his face from the left. We have to give some credit and respect to Hatton. He is a world champion, he will
not be one champion if he is not good. He is not a trash talker unlike his trainer floyd Mayweather Sr. who talks garbage and shit. You could see Hatton's respect for Manny especially after the fight and Manny feels the same way. Hatton accepted his defeat like a man and didn't made any excuses. And for that, I give my respect to Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton. Cheers mate!
Well, this is not a lash or tirade or anything against Mayweather Sr. or anyone. As I said its about reggae songs dedicated to boxing. This week we will feature a Trojan Records release called "Sucker Punch: Jamaican Boxing Tributes" containing 19 tracks of reggae, DJ shoutouts and early dancehall cuts. You will notice that most tracks are tributes to Muhammad Ali and other cuts for his celebrated opponents like Joe Frazier and George Foreman. Songs by Bacca, Harry J All stars, Big Youth, King Tubby - you can never go wrong on this album. Tracks that I like are Harry J's "George Foreman" (version), Big Youth's "Joe Frazier", The Upsetters "Sunshine Showdown", "The Great Musical Battle" by Derrick Morgan, The Dynamites instrumental "Joe Lewis" and Trinity's chipmunk like cut "Muhammad Ali". Drums, Bass, echoes and DJs toasting dominate this record. It somehow contradicts the fast paced and brutal sport of boxing but I'm not complaining. This record is heavy. If you can - turn the bass level up, pump up the volume and smoke weed while listening to this because it will hit you like what "The Pacman" did to "The Hitman", your back flat on the canvas. Nuff said.
