Canseco vs Dykstra this Saturday night

MCMLVTopps

Who could pass this up? Celebrity boxing this Saturday night will bring you unsurpassed entertainment, unequaled in the history of boxing. The boxing world will never be the same.

Jose Canseco will box Lenny "nails" Dykstra...this magical moment will only cost you a paltry $19.95, will take place at 8:30PM Eastern.

I of course will sacrifice my opportunity to enjoy this extravaganza by watching something a bit more mundane, like LSU vs Alabama.

Sad, really, to think this is what they've come to.

Whats really going to be sad is the beating Canseco is going to put on Dykstra

For the money, I'd rather buy a $19.95 blaster, and blow the money that way. LOL

As any boxing fan knows or anyone who has ever been involved in or is knowledgeable about contact sports, size does matter, and poor Lenny is likely gonna take a beating.

Glad to see you back, Stevek. I've been away for a few weeks and last time I was here, some folks thought you'd never be back after the Phillies choked.

Coolio is fighting on the undercard and as if things couldn't get any better Octomom is fighting Amy Fisher. Stellar. MJ

Dykstra is probably going to get the sh*t kicked out of him. HOWEVER, they may now be ~ the same weight, as Dykstra has a HUGE GUT.

Many creditors will be hoping Dykstra wins.

I'm thinking this whole thing is scripted but if by slim chance it's not I can't see any outcome other than Lenny Dykstra getting pounded.

Dykstra will be getting a "tiger blood" infusion from good friend Charlie Sheen and will be so coked up he feels no pain, Dykstra wins by KO.

I dunno Paul.

Dykstra is a lot shorter than Jose and may only be able to punch as high as Jose's balls. One or two punches to the crotch may be all it takes for Dykstra to win lol.

All those roids Jose took may have rendered that area useless as a target.

Hahaha...good point!

And ya think Dykstra got that big just by eating well? LOL

Jose has professional MMA experience - he'll destroy Dykstra.

That's assume Jose actually shows up instead of sending Ozzie in his place like last time.

Nails bails: Lenny Dykstra a no show for fight against Canseco

By 'Duk

Nails bails: Lenny Dykstra a no show for fight against CansecoIt turns out that you and I weren't the only ones who forgot about the Lenny Dykstra-Jose Canseco fight on Saturday night after gaping at the car wreck of a headline earlier this week.

Also suffering a memory lapse? Ol' Nails himself as Dykstra failed to show up for his whuppin' at the pay-per view event.

So was Dykstra too busy watching the field goal kicking contest down South as many of you were? Or was he finally getting around to seeing "Moneyball," like I finally did? (Thought it was excellent, by the way.)

Nope. As Dan Gross of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, the answer naturally rivals the mess that Dykstra and Canseco have made of their lives. Fight promoter Damon Feldman says Dykstra was paid $5,000 with a promise of another $10,000 after the fight while those close to Dykstra said there was never any deal actually in place.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

I reached Dykstra tonight on his cell phone and after identifying myself, he said he would call back promptly. He has not. Dykstra, who is staying in a Los Angeles rehab facility, has also not replied to several text messages.

Fox 29 meterologist John Bolaris, a friend of Dykstra's for more than 15 years, tweeted days ago that Dykstra was never actually scheduled to fight.

None of this, of course, should come as a surprise considering the parties involved. Dykstra has made a living of bilking others in his post-baseball career while Feldman and Canseco couldn't even let an entire year pass without another boxing bait and switch.

So if you paid $19.95 believing you were going to see the two old stars beat up on each other in something straight out of The Wrestler? Well, you should have seen this coming.

Unbelievable, I wouldn't pay this guy to deliver newspapers. Does this hurt Lenny's chance at the hall?

Ummm...you mean Big House, not Hall.
