Fight of the Year, um, NOT: Jose Canseco vs. Vai Sikahema (really!)
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Who-will-accept-Jose-Canseco-s-dumb-challenge-V?urn=nfl,84588

Jose Canseco, because things are going so well for him these days, has been looking for someone to go toe-to-toe with him in a celebrity (and I use that term very, very loosely) boxing match. He had recently been offering $5,000 to get someone to accept the challenge, and for a while, everyone, as they usually do, completely ignored Jose Canseco.

But a brave hero has finally stepped up so that this stupid fight may finally take place. And that hero is former Philadelphia Eagles return man Vai Sikahema. What a relief that must be for the millions of you who sit around all day and wistfully think, "Man, when is Jose Canseco going to fight Vai Sikahema?!"...

As for Sikahema's qualifcations, he grew up wanting to be a professional boxer, and he fought in a National Golden Gloves Championship that would eventually be won by a fellow named Sugar Ray Leonard. That explains the goal-post punching celebration you see above (they do look like quality punches)....

The fight is scheduled for July 12th in Atlantic City. I will consider watching it if the promoters call me and offer me $49.95 to do so.


:rofl:

1. Conseco actually may be in trouble here.
Vai is not a small guy, and he's been boxing recently. I think he won a fight late last year against some non-clown much younger than he.

2. What's wrong with Canesco?
I've done a great job of ignoring the guy too, cuz I don't know what his problems are besides the thing with his house.
He must have made a brazillion dollars playing baseball. Is he broke now????
