The Championship Bout

Standing in at 6 Feet 5 Inches

Two Hundred and Forty Five Pounds

from Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York.

Fighting for the Heavyweight Championship Belt

At a record of 32-0 is…

My dad…

My dad was no joke!

His theme song was Prodigy’s 1st Verse from his favorite song ever…

“I break bread,ribs and Hundred bills”

Seeing him in that robe gave me the chills

Prodigy’s one-line turned my father into a Beast

He became a different nigga…

He was the toughest nigga in these Brownsville streets

No one wanted to fuck with him!

When he put his hands up

His opponent had no options.

It was either you take this  ass whoppin’ or quit boxing.

His last fight was real light…

Jab plus Uppercut plus Hook equaled

The Letter A for his opponent

A Goodnight

There was no other answer for this equation

I yelled “oh shit! This motherfucker is amazin’ ”

Watch your mouth boy!

Aiight dad (covers face)

I’m sorry…

That shit was unreal to me

I thought I was playing PS3

I just tapped A

And held B

I wanted some combo points

So I held D

That last punch put the opposition on one knee

And the winner is by knockout is…

My dad…

See…

My dad trained differently

All he needed was…

His iPod

A Blunt of Kush

…and cup of Hennessey

He trained into the wee hours of the night

‘Til he became his own worst enemy

His next opponent…he knew too well

Stunning…

Bad as a motherfucker….

Quick-witted

Well-informed

She got it goin’ on!

She never touched the brown liquor or smoked reefer

Her favorite food was pizza

She was my favorite schoolteacher

During the pre-fight conference

He let his red cup turn into Don King

This put the battery in his back

He started cursing and carrying on

‘Til he drew his hand back

“Shut ya stupid ass up!”…

(Slap)

Now this schoolteacher

Was not raised by a Baptist Church Preacher

She had hand skills too

She just had “Pretty Girl Rock” features

This Boxing match was held in the World’s

Most

Famous

Arena

Approximately five steps from mi cocina

It had a sold-out crowd

The celebrities that was in attendance were…

Me

My little sister

My little brother

We had no Pay-Per-View channels

But…

We watched…

My father beat the shit outta my mother

The fight was only 2 minutes

But it felt like an eternity…

The blows my father threw would’ve injured my mother

Permanently

He leaned over her

Mean muggin’ and screamin’

“Stupid bitch! Next time shut the fuck up! Mind ya business!”

My mother covered her face, crying and bruised up

This fight made no sense…

He slapped her ’cause she misplaced his…

His toothbrush…

This was a street fight

Bare knuckles

No boxing gloves

Now my mother sports a Black-eye

‘Cause she thought

She was in love

My father still undefeated…

He still holds the crown

He’s the Heavyweight Champion of the World in Apt 3D
