Default Not sure why Vai is doing this

According to multiple published reports Tuesday, former Eagles kick returner and two-time Pro Bowler Vai Sikahema will fight Canseco in a July 12 bout at the Atlantic City Bernie Robbins Stadium.
I don't really understand why Vai would want to box Canseco. Vai is already a respected sportscaster in Philly. I don't think he needs the publicity and $5K just doesn't seem worth it to me.

Myabe he would like to burise Canseco's pompous mug. I am sure more than a few of us would like to and here he can actually do it. I don't know, of course, but I am guessing Canseco cannot take a punch.

AGreed. Canseco is not a small man, however, and I am sure his reach will greatly exceed Sikahema's. Even so, I bet he has a glass jaw.

Canseco and his twin Ozzie roughed up two guys in the nightclub Opium a while back. They gave better than they got giving one guy 20 stitches.

I have many Poly friends and some Poly cousins. I learned a long time ago....don't ever piss off a Poly.

They are the most generous kind people and will give you the shirt off their back...but don't piss them off.

If Jose Canseco pisses Vai off...regardless of his size, the fight will be over quickly.

Why not? Vai gets some free pub out of it, and gets to box a big slow guy with bones weakened from years of steroids.

Keep in mind, Vai is a former Golden Glover in Arizona. He almost went to the Olympics...

Vai will kick his ass. I have seen non boxers try and fight boxers before. In every case the fight was over before the non boxer knew what hit 'em

Agreed.

When I was a kid, there was an exhibition fight at Mile High Stadium that had Lyle Alzado fighting a recently retired Mohamed Ali. It wasn't even close, though Ali really held back and didn't knock out Alzado - probably because it just an exhibition and Ali seemed to have fun embarrassing Alzado.

Didn't know that bit about Vai having some boxing experience. If he has experience then it makes more sense. I hope Vai kicks his ass.
