A Boxing Portmanteau

A Boxing Portmanteau

A portmanteau word is made of two or more words having different meanings, and blended together to form a single word.  Take “Spanglish” for instance.  This portmanteau word is a mix of “Spanish” and “English.”  Another famous portmanteau word is “brunch,” which is a combination of the words breakfast and lunch.

Proper nouns can also be joined together with common nouns to produce a portmanteau word.  For instance, “gerrymandering” is a combination of Governor Elbridge Gerry and the political districts in Massachusetts, which was outlined and resembled a salamander.

The boxing scene also has its portmanteau.  Accordingly, it perfectly describes a man who holds a championship belt for ducking good boxers in their prime.

In addition, I thought it was very ridiculous that this man heaped praise and accolade, particularly in the pound-for-pound rankings, when he won against a smaller boxer in a certified mismatch bout last September 19.  Talk about a Mexican sacrificial lamb.

Fraud.
