On last night's Top Rank card on ESPN, commentator Mark Kriegel did a somewhat awkward segment with Gilberto Ramirez where he made a human interest point of going through a list of Gilberto's childhood friends who've mostly been killed. Joe Tessitore complimented the segment and asked him a question for the audience's benefit. They had this exchange:
Joe Tessitore: What did his father give him as a present, when he turned fourteen?
Mark Kriegel: A loaded revolver. I guess by most standards that would constitutes a form of child abuse. In his neighborhood, in Mazatlan, it may indicate a concerned parent.
Joe Tessitore: Kill or be killed is the way he grew up and he has turned out to be a lovely guy, a gentleman, a sportsman, and now a world champion, and is providing for his family.
Child abuse, he says. The NRA has yet to comment on this message.
