Fortune Teller Elvis Thoughts Before Canelo vs. Munguia: “Too Much Monkey Business”
By William Trillo
Uh-uh, too much monkey business, too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to be involved in – Chuck Berry
As per my usual Las Vegas roadie pit-stop, I paid a visit to “Elvis the Soothsayer” to get his thoughts and predictions on the big Cinco De Mayo boxing event that has become somewhat of a staple in Sin City.
Much to my amazement, Elvis did not make a prediction this time, (and since he is almost always wrong, it’s probably a good decision), but instead was more concerned about the pre-fight “Sour Grapes” banter that was pointed directly at the champion Canelo Alvarez.
In the eyes of Elvis, Canelo vs. Munguia is a legitimate Super-Fight. With the face of boxing, going up an undefeated challenger, and with all four 168-pound belts on the line, how could it get any better? How about the fact that two fighters from Mexico are going to take center stage on the weekend of one of their nations most celebrated holidays?
So why all the posturing from Canelo’s former promoter Oscar De La Hoya?
Although Canelo has made some very pointed accusations at and about De La Hoya, it was Oscar himself, who at the press conference admitted his life has not always been glitter and gold. So, what’s the beef?
And how do we get past this so we can focus on the fight?
The solution according to Elvis? Shut-Up and let the boy’s fight. That’s what everyone is paying to see. Just too much monkey business! No one cares about your Cease-and-Desist orders…No One! And that includes some people uncomfortably close to De La Hoya.
Elvis also found it amusing that The Golden Boy was calling out Canelo for failed drug tests only to have Karma rear up and bite him on his butt a few hours later when it was revealed that Oscar’s on again, off again pet, Ryan Garcia, tested dirty prior to the Devin Haney fight and is now being labeled a fraud.
Regarding Garcia, Elvis wanted to make it clear, Presley is the one and only “King” and that the cheater might want to find a new nickname for himself. He suggested the monicker, Lyin’ Ryan.
About the Main Event on Saturday night, all Elvis would say is that Munguia should not be counted out and that he would make a good account for himself in the ring. Is he predicting an upset? Not really, but he believes if Munguia goes down, he will do so on his sword.
