Acquitted killer, George Zimmerman, has seen his fair share of battles in the last two years. Starting with what one could loosely call a “fight” against unarmed teen, Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman carried on to face the scorn of the American public during his well publicized trial. In more recent news, he pulled a shotgun on his girlfriend, and successfully charmed her into dropping the aggravated assault charge. The man has come out of every engagement almost entirely unscathed. But how will the reigning champion fare against the spirit of chaos, itself?
That’s right. Rapper DMX.
Known as “the Dog”, “X”, or “Darkman” throughout his legion of ultra-violent songs, DMX volunteered to fight Zimmerman in a celebrity boxing match scheduled to go down March 1st. The event was the brain-child of opportunist fight promoter Damon Feldman, who reviewed some 15,000 applications to fight Zimmerman.
There is wide speculation over who’s likely to win the match-up, as the out of shape Zimmerman has technically been taking boxing lessons, while DMX is rumored to be hooked on crack. The Dog also has a 13 year disadvantage on the fresh faced contender, repping the ripe age of 43.
Several parties, including Al Sharpton, have spoken out against the fight on the grounds of it being disrespectful. There is certainly something about the pop-star treatment of a real-life teen murderer that should give us pause.
On the other hand…
When asked about the match, X told the press:
I am going to beat the living **** out him… I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I **** him right up… Once I am done with him, I am going to whip my **** out and piss on him.. right in his mother****ing face… Zimmerman is a piece of ****, and that’s what he needs to drink.
Straight from the horse’s mouth. And I say horse because they both don’t know how to use computers .
Legend tells of entertainment so powerful it pierces the veil of morality. This fight may be it.
