Sikahema ready to rumble with Canseco

There is no shortage of boxing trainers in Philly. When Tex Cobb was asked why he moved from Texas to Philly to train he said: "Philly is the only town that when you see two whino's fighting on the street they are bobing and weaving." Good luck Vai. Stay inside on Canseco.

I'm not a big boxing fan but I'm looking forward to this fight. I'm hoping Vai smacks Conseco around with the "humbling stick".

Just keep moving a lot, if he connects with one of his lumbering punches, you may regret that you got in the ring with this idiot. This fight surprises me, this puts you in the class of Tanya Harding.

you might want to do the haka before your fight. Good luck and make sure your blender at home is working. Canseco will want to beat you impressively to get another fight to make more $ to save his home.

As much as I dislike all things BYU, I hope this Sikahema cleans up the canvas with Canseco.
Many years ago one of my husband's employees had photo of Wally Joyner & Canseco standing next to each other. Joyner should have himself checked for coodies.

"[C]lass of Tonya Harding" -- what are you talking about?

Is PPV or streaming video available for the event? That would help pay a mortgage payment or two.

Just don't let Canseco fall on you. That would be like one of them Redwood trees falling on you.....LOL!!

Good luck and have fun...

I'd love to see Vai knock some sense into Canseco. . . if that's even possible. You've got a ton of friends pulling for you, Vai. You da man!

Wow, how do you spell loss of credibility.

To Rose -remember Tonya Harding tried to be a boxer, it was a disaster, oh yeah all things T.H. are disasters.

Via - go for it!

Via is right - you only live once! It would be interesting to see what shape, weight and blubber factor the criticizers above are in. If Sikahema is in shape and wants to donate his pursue to a policeman's widow - then he is a total stud and anyone who says he is crazy is a terminal criticizer who doesn't know all the facts.

Rose and Petey - how do you critize Sikahema? How do you say he has lost class or credibility, when he is doing it for a policeman's widow and he is making a tacit statement for the 45-year olds out there that says "if you get off your big fat blubbery duff you too can be in shape" better than the surgeon general could say?

Go Via! You are not crazy. You have more guts and man genes than any fat, lard-butt criticizer who sits in front of their computer and finds ways to put down people who achieve much more than they have.

Sikahema: Go go go go go go!!!!!

What a dope

Great Sikahema. Now your joining the likes of Screech (from Saved by the bell) and Vanilla Ice.

Vai is a stud. He's a good guy. He was never to busy or too arrogant to come play alittle dunk ball with the local neighborhood lids back in Mesa, Az
Canseco is a punk that's gonna get punked.

This will be awesome. When I read this, the first thing I thought of was when Sikahema took back two punts for TDs against the NY Giants in one game back in the day. After the second one, he started punching the padded Giants logo on the goalpost.

He's a great guy. It's wonderful he's doing this for charity. He once volunteered to be the "attacker" for a self-defense class at the small college I attended in Philly. He took quite a beating that night.

I guess I'll have to root for Sikahema even though he went to Mesa High....Go Toros!

I hope that the Deseret News will be kind enough to report on this as it builds up and unfolds. Details along the way would be nice.

Why don't we do something like this in politics?

It would sure be interesting to see Hillary vs. Obama in the ring. Now THAT would generate some money on PPV.

The winner could get a bunch of delegates.

C'mon Politico, Hillary v. Obama would be a great battle, but the Secret Service can't sit idly by and watch two of their protectees inflicting bodily harm on each other. They'd have to step in and THEN things would be worth watching! Hillary's detail v. Obama's detail on PPV. Until one of the agents gets impatient and draws a weapon, this could be the best PPV fight in history!
