‘Only in America’

These are the fights I really want to see before I die. Most of this list is comprised from endless cooler talk on the topic from people at work, school, and my family.

Ivan Drago vs Clubber Lang
Drago killed Apollo Creed- given he was really getting up there in age. But he killed him. He didn’t just beat him, Apollo died in the ring (‘If he dies, he dies’), and it ‘was just supposed to be an exhibition.’ Drago used steroids more often than Canseco but who cares, the USSR was a rockin state at the time. Lang is a bad dude and he’s got a good future ahead, but Drago is just an unstopable rebel force. 1600 lbs of square pressure per inch, if he hit anyone there face would just explode.
Drago by TKO in 4th

Donald Trump Sr vs Donald Trump Jr
Mainly just because I think Junior hates his old man with an unrelenting passion, and I would like to see Senior’s comb-over flopping around as he bobs and weaves. Senior is probably the most competitive person in America, but Junior has the youthful stamina on his side.

Clubber Lang vs Mike Tyson
Lets get this straight, Mike Tyson was an absolute one man wrecking machine when he was younger, here is a little montage of him in his youth-most coming in the 1st round, most of us were to young to appreciate him. Let’s not forget Lang, the South Detroit phenom who is about the same size as Tyson. The man defined angry, he decimated Rocky in their first fight, given Rocky’s trainer and de facto father-figure died during the fight, Lang took the champion apart, just like Mason ‘The Line” Dixon is going to do in Rocky VI. Most people don’t remember that in the rematch Lang thoroughly won the fight, he was ahead on all three scorecards and everyone knew it. But Lang was so angry and so vicious that he went balls out, even against the advice of his own trainers! The many was so brutal his trainers told him to stop. This is a tough one, Tyson post-prison, Lang wins easily. Tyson prime, it doesn’t go close to 12 rounds.
Lang wins by TKO in 5th because Tyson punched the ref after a ‘slow’ 10-count

Al Gore vs George W. Bush
Gore is still livin in 2000 and everyone knows it. The man won the national election and still didn’t become President, you’d be bitter too. Now all he does is wallow in global warming and deny reports of a 2008 democratic run. He has also gotten quite out of shape since 2000. Leaving Dubya the fitter of the two combatants for this fight. But Gore is bigger and has vengeance on his mind. And I personally think Dubya is reppin a glass jaw, he’s no Texas cowboy.
Gore by unaminous decision

Benny ‘The Jet’ Rodriguez vs Rufio
Rufi-o Rufi-o Rufi-oooooooooooooo! No one was cooler in my child than this scene stealer from Hook. Even The Jet would marvel at the neverland sweetness that the lost boys and Rufio put together. The Jet was too peaceful to fight, the man is practically a Buddhist but he has unprecedented speed and stamina. Why didn’t those kids just like shoot the beast with a tranquilizer or something. Rufio would put an arrow in Hercules’ face, strolled over the fence, spit on the dogs dead body, and go in the house to rob the blind man of all that precious baseball memorabilia. True Rufio did die at the hands of Captain Hook, but thats not too bad. I think I’d most want to die at the sword of Captain Hook, he’s the man.
Rufio by split decision

Batman vs Robin
Batman is too big, too strong, too smart, and too experienced to have much trouble disposing of the bad-boy outlaw Robin. Thsi fight is naturally held in San Francisco, and all attending will drive Hybrid cars.

There are literally about a hundred more that I’ve taken into consideration, but being mindful of the low return I gain from my time writing these things and the nice weather outside, I’ll cut it a little short there. My little brother has started a blog as well, following in ole Danny’s footsteps. Check it out if you get bored.
