"Someone is going to get bit."
Let’s be very frank and honest here. Who is your favorite boxer of all-time? Muhammad Ali is, of course, the natural number one choice but “Iron” Mike Tyson has to be a close-ish second followed by Ivan Drago in third.
No?
I think undeniable and now, Iron Mike is ready to “square off” against a shark “in the name of research.”
According to the press release, “Iron Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet, is back for the ultimate showdown. Tyson vs. Jaws.”
The “name of research” is yet to be revealed. Also, it is unclear how they will fight though Tyson declares, “Someone is going to get bit.”
In the accompanying video clip, Mike Tyson can be seen angrily destroying an unglassed surfboard.
Do boxers have beef with surfers, in general?
I hope not as I like boxing, very much, though am not adept in the Sweet Science. Still, I find boxing graceful especially when compared with Ultimate Fighting which generally sees two men rolling around on the ground, grasping for each other’s tendons.
Uncomfortable.
Which professional surfer would make the best boxer?
Filipe Toledo?
The boy who punched that açai bowl?
Hmmmm.

I’d like to see a Kelly Slater vs Paul Roach rematch
kelly would get smoked by igarashis lil bro.
Maybe your right, maybe surfing just isn’t what it used to be……., they actually made a surf movie once called– “Free and Easy”………
Reminds me of Slater a bit when Slater punched his board after losing a heat.
What about when Richie Collins broke a board over his own head!
That’s one thing I like about B.Grit, you guys know your surf history…….
I was a grommet in the late 80s, all those stories got burned into my brain!
As long as Karl doesn’t move in on my wife like he did my post, and take it up about 20 levels in so doing. On second thought…
Ivan Drago??? Come on Chas… Ashton has to be #3 on your all-time Boxer list!
Is that Matthew McCaughnehey from when he was the AIDS dude there in the white hat? And respect to Chas at 0:09. In his buzzed stupor he drops his hand, signaling either (1) submission, so as not to escalate, or (2) he knew he had it coming and was happy Goggans showed some passion.
Chas… aka… Wooderson… held his own after the initial slug!

Jumping the shark…hood style?
Three potential surf matchups*!…

*sorry, DHMF…
This is really something mate. I love it. Respect.
We need a BG Hall of Fame, and this will be the standard against which all other attempts are judged.
What is DHMF? Is it a Darren Handley vs Mick Fanning? I’m scratching my head here. Didn’t have much …. fuck?
Never thought of pitching Elmer Fudd against Micktory, but now that you say it…
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
My money is on Darren. He looks like he has shanked a few cunts in his time.
Bobby is a world class boxer who spars with title contenders and takes it to them. How soon some forget.
Now, for our “liberal brothers” out there who can’t envision Trump winning again, I offer this undeniable proof that his crowd has seen crazier shit and won’t go anywhere despite the evidence. Enjoy amigos
Skip to 2:20 and I’m telling you, #7 wins yet the “judges” see it differently…..

Haha world class grass hopper division but.
That was pretty rad. Did you notice the red truck that had Mabo graffitied on the caravan?
A bloke I know does Crash & Bash races down here. He wouldn’t vote Dump tho.
Notice the controversy that ends the gig…. everyone knows that #7 made the pass more often and considering such a more significant tow! Sure, K9 plays the coyote at the end, but skeptics have reviewed the tape and believe he did not secure the boat to his trailer, thus losing the weight early and having the advantage of a short, light trailer that could cut corners as he was wont to do.
Second thing that became suspicious was the announcer drumming up crowd support for the “winner” of K9…. there is speculation that K9 and the announcer share the same birth mother and it’s being investigated as of press time.
Two years down the track, the detectives lost the scent for the case and we may never know.

Tyson said on his podcast that tough guys don’t make good boxers, so that rules out your mate Ash.
I don’t know what is a better opponent for him
1. a shark
2. his own demons
