Jose Canseco - Val Sikehema Fight

Normally I'd stick my nose up in distain at boxing, but this particular 1 min 36 sec fight caught my attention. It matched former Eagle Vai Sikahema against former childhood baseball hero Jose Canseco.

The tale of the tape: Vai is 5'9 and roughly 181 lbs (drafted in the NFL by the then St. Louis CARDINALS (before they moved to Arizona) in 1986). Jose Canseco is 6'4 and roughly 240 lbs (drafted by the A's in 1982). That's roughly 5 inches & 40-60 lbs depending on the accuracy of the weight figures!!!

To paraphrase a quote from Vai, "(when the bell rang) I wanted to be on him like a pitbull in a phonebooth".
