Bad Newz Nurshreez

People that know me know that I don't condone that kind of extracurricular activity, not from Pete Johnston or any of my other fighters. I only got one side of the story, but from what I hear, it was over a used mobile a few weeks prior. When the deal went bad, Pete decided to get his 10 animal crackers worth out of your fighters hide. Had I seen it at the time I would have canceled his fight. As it stands, believe me, the laps I made Pete crawl after the next training session should guarantee it doesn't happen again. My fighters learn to deal with that kind of crap on their own time.

Alright. No bad blood between us then. Besides, that baby didn't need his left eye anyway. It's actually helped his depth perception.
 
It was a rough Friday night for Beef Femur :scowl:

My Featherweight Mickey McTavish, tried to fight up at the middleweight ranks, (he's a chippy little bugger) and didn't fair too well. He took on a kid out of South Georgia, Camden county I think. His name was Cletus "The Clamp" Johnson. This kid got his name as the result of a bizarre hay baling incident that left him with only his thumb & index finger on his left hand. I guess his day job is as a field worker, and he developed a freakishly strong grip....but I digress.

I wasn't as concerned as I should have been when I scheduled the fight, but once I saw "The Clamp" warming up...all that changed...

He started his warm ups with his trainer by snapping the tops off childproof aspirin bottles and progressed to pickle jars....and then...(I'm not kidding around here)...inserting part F into slot M and HOLDING it until the glue dried!

I tried to talk some sense into Mickey, but his Irish temper and cocksure attitude got the better of him...It was not pretty...

Round 1 "The Clamp" captured Mickey's left arm and from there on out he never released his grip..He has a heck of a right hook, and he pounded Mickey mercilessly...Mickey fought as well as he could but being a straight up boxer and not comfortable down on the mat, he just couldn't keep any distance to land punches.

It went on like that for the whole 3 rounds....It just may have broken the kid...He'd never taken that kind of a beating before, he'd never lost before...Even though he went the distance with an opponent who outweighed him by nearly THREE POUNDS, Mickey couldn't handle the defeat...

This morning I found him in the dorms, in a drunken stupor, babbling incoherently about the crabman...

It's gonna be a long road bringing him back around....
 
:( It looks like vbsurfer3001's bad luck rubbed off on us. Most of my team got tore up by a suspicious new team that none of us had ever heard of. The officials are gonna have to keep a close eye on them.

Here's some of the damage:

My point in all this is that, provided the fangs are natural and not honed incisors, they are legal in a few areas; most notably the Appalachian Conference (surprised?) and the Florida Panhandle Chapter.

Yeah, I've had some dealings with the AppCon and the FloPanChap...some were glorious victories while others...well, let's just say if they'd left us with tails, they would've been between our legs. Now, having said that, they are great to deal with. I haven't seen 2 conferences that close, geographically, that got along so well. Those guys are true professionals...they advertise, help the local communities, basically, they're the Cadillacs of baby-fighting...the business aspects anyway...

You gotta give him props for the jail tattoo though.

So VB...how has your guy been recovering from this episode? Seems like it would take weeks....
 
It's been REALLY ugly...week after week of drug & alcohol induced tantrums, massive weight gain, almost complete hair loss...



OH, were you asking about Mickey??


Back in fighting trim! He didn't have a choice after I confiscated all of his booze & 'supplies'...He's been bouncing my arse around the gym everyday, threatening me with some mystery technique, but I still haven't told him where his stash is...hidden at a cellular level in my body:ninja:
 
Update! I just e-mailed Larry Swinehart, the father of three children who are participating in such fights, to find out why he would subject his children to such despicable "sport". His response:

Larry Swinehart said:
Well, at first I was repulsed by the idea, but then one of the sponsors of the event, a Mr. John Turner, assured me that I didn't have a choice. He kept saying things like, "Think of me as an electric fence...", and "I could beat-up Chuck Norris!" It was really quite scary! ...

I have to admit, his response didn't surprise me. He later mentioned that Mr. Turner often enters himself as a contestant, and when questioned about the fairness of a middle-aged man fighting children, he'd respond "Life isn't fair..."

A offered to contact the authorities on behalf of Mr. Swinehart, but he declined saying he feared for his children's safety.
