The Mother Of All Sucker Punches?

This video is amost 10 years old but it’s new to us. This could be dirtier than Tyson biting Holyfield’s ear. James “The Harlem Hammer” Butler lost by unanimous decision to Richard “The Alien” Grant in a 2001 fight. Butler had his gloves removed after the fight and approached Grant to supposedly offer some congratulatory love. The Alien got a little more than he expected. 

Grant was knocked out and received a broken jaw. Unfortunately for Butler, the police decided to listen to the announcer. They arrested and charged him with aggravated assault. He eventually moved up to murder. In 2006, he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and arson in the death of Sam Kellerman, the brother of boxing analyst Max Kellerman. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Did we mention that the boxing match was a charity event for 9/11 victims? Stay classy, Hammer.

One Arse In A Sack Please

There may be no I in team but there sure is a me especially in Aussie Rules. Carlton’s Cameron Croke was knocked out by teammate Setanta O’hAilpin during an intrasquad training match last week. The two players scuffled off the ball and O’hAilpin landed a punch while Cloke was on his knees. The punch dropped Cloke who lay motionless on the ground. While he was down, O’hAilpin added insult to injury by kicking him in the ass.

A bit hypocritical for the Aussies to resort to stereotypes of Irish tempers in the news report, don’t you think? Maybe O’hAilpin was pissed off because he was named after a television network. Wait until ESPN Montana Real gets older.
