Vai Sikahema Knocks Out Jose Canseco In the First Round of the War on the Shore
ATLANTIC CITY -- Jose Canseco was knocked out by former Philadelphia Eagles return man Vai Sikahema in their celebrity boxing match Saturday. Canseco's size advantage -- he is 6-foot-4, 245 pounds to Sikahema's 5-9, 205 -- was not a factor in the bout, which was over in the first round. "When you step inside the square circle," Sikahema said, according to the Press of Atlantic City, "don't ever think that your size is going to matter because in Philadelphia, we will chop you down." Sikahema was asked if there were any surprises. "That it didn't finish in the first 30 seconds," he said. Sikahema, who is also a sportscaster, has some experience in the ring. He has had more than 80 fights as an amateur boxer, according to the Press. Canseco said he had a background in martial arts.
Well it turns out the "War on the Shore" wasn't very much of a war after all. I guess we can put an end to the rumor that Jose Canseco has some martial arts experience. Because if he did I’m pretty sure he would have lasted more than 1 round vs. a dude half his size. Regardless Vai Sikahema can calm down about how great Philadelphia people are. Dude you beat up Jose Canseco. Relax. If anything you should be ashamed of yourself for ending the fight so quickly. Everybody knows that boxing is as much about showmanship as anything else. Clearly he should have carried Jose for a round or two and give people their money's worth before putting him to sleep.
