Boxing
American boxer
DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley who has found himself in our local
Contender Series does not have anyone in Jamaica to beat him, can you
imagine a sparring partner of Mayweather fighting our inexperienced boys here.
He should be a teacher here and not in our little competition. None of our boys
can box him and win they have to surprise him and knock him out in the first
round but if he is aware you cannot catch him. Gardener in my opinion is the
best fighter in the competition not including Chop Chop. The final fight should
have been Chop Chop Vs Gardener both are boxers. Frog vs. Chop Chop could end
within 3 rounds if Chop Chop decides to end it early. The good of having Chop
Chop is that our good boxers will get more in the limelight it would be good if
young Gardener could get in the Mayweather camp he has a lot of world class
potential. This Contender final will be easy money for Chop Chop the teacher as
the quality of boxing is set to improve. 18/06/16
Sir David Simmons Need To Get
Street Smart
Sir David Simmons
who chaired the commission of enquiry into the 2010 incursion of
Tivoli Gardens have urged political leaders to commit to ending the allocation
of Government's and political parties' resources to dons in order to reduce the
influence of these persons..Hold on! The commissioner does not realize
that the tables have turned long ago where Dons have become independent of
politicians and it is the politicians who need the Dons and not the other way
around and the advice should be the other way round. Commissioner you are the
best we have had but you need to spend more time on street with us and you
really know what's going on. Sir David if a contract to be given and the Dons
do not give it its blessings in the area it cannot go on in peace so you have
to negotiate with the "Big Man Dem" for it to get done at all or in
time. Sir David should ask for information on the refurbishing of the Kingston
Public Hospital not so long ago and will have gotten a lesson of Don
influence and management in Jamaica today they are more like Criminal Executive
Officers(CEOs) of any corporate organization. It is a chicken and egg situation
now you have the eggs they hatch and you get more chickens coming home to roost
producing more eggs. A cycle that was started decades ago has now developed
into embedded and deeply rooted garrison political DNA economics; can anyone of
you suggest a practical way out of this quagmire? 18/06/16
What Type of Entertainment The World
Needs?
News paper reports
that Jamaican entertainer Alkaline has had the plug pulled on a number of gigs
in the United Kingdom. In my opinion Alkaline is not one of the real dangerous
youths, to me he is just entertaining. Cultures differ though and "what is
joke to you is death to me”. These artistes need to make cultural adjustments
to their lyrical content. Europeans and others like loving bouncy happy music
not warring sad killer motivating murderous type that is heavily consumed a
yard. Check out Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff that's why they are so successful. A
theme of love, liberation, freedom, peace and happiness sells
globally. Alkaline and others must study and emulate that. In light of the
recent sad tragedy in Orlando Florida we may see more plugs being pulled in the
more tolerant United States. In Europe they sometimes call it “murder music” it
may soon be tagged “terror music”. This is a call to all singers, artistes and
musicians to get their acts sanitized and get their acts universally accepted
while keeping their money rolling in. 18/06/16
