Well, this has been an exciting card that promoter Will Slack has put together and one that I’ll bet he never knew would run the full 15 rounds with blood and sweat drenching the ring.
An evening fans won’t be forgetting soon!
Now here are the figures from ringside. 131 exchanges!
Some fighters who had potential but were beaten before the semifinals and never really drew the sellout crowds:
nuts 1
10er 1
jg 1
dan 1
dick 3
aparent 3
will 4
frank 4
david 4
Yes, as you can see, these are the participants in the welter weight division. A punch here, a jab there, but not enough stuff for a real combination that’s going to send the other man to the floor. Nice work, guys. Keep in training, use that heavy bag, and read Angelo Dundee.
So lets get to the heavy weights!
Participants (in the white trunks, weighing 205 pounds, from Aberdeen, South Dakota and always a credit to his race):
with 15 appearances in this ring to his credit – Derek Catsam, Catsam!
and with 20 times in the ring – Jeff Zeeman, Zeeman!
But topping the card, the ever-popular Battlin’ Townie – PTC, PTC. with a record-breaking 41 scuffles on this canvas.
But, fight fans, this is one of those cases where just sheer appearances on the canvas weren’t enough to win the crown.
The referees were counting words landed as well.
And the winner this evening on points with 4916 words is that Texas Tornado, that Pugilistic Perfessor, the Victor of Vituperation – Derek Catsam! The New Hypothetical Sports Analysis World Champion !
Well, that’s it from ringside for tonight. Tune in next week when Gillette will bring you Dave ‘I’ll iterate your face off” Kane versus Ronit ‘Nerds of Steel’ Bhattacharyya in 15 rounds of statistical error with winner take all!

First rule of EphBlog fight club is that you do not talk about EphBlog fight club.
I have a couple of posts in a different, less argumentative vein lined up, just been too busy with work lately to actually publish them. Oh well.

In my head while writing, Gillette Friday Night Fights on the radio.
To look sharp ev’ry time you shave
To feel sharp and be on the ball
Just be sharp use Gillette Blue Blades
For the quickest, slickest shave of all.

And the smooth voice of Don Dunphy announcer as he would introduce” Referee Ruby Goldstein, Ring physician in attendance Doctor Vincent Nardiello, and Time Keeper at the Bell, George Banner”.
Then live to the ring and the ref’s instructions: “I want a clean fight. Break when I say break and go to a neutral corner. Now touch gloves and may the better participant emoige triumphant”.
