Who would have thought throwing hands runs in the Gore family? Al “Kid Blanco” Gore III showed he carries a decent KO punch when by defeating Ken “The Carnivore” Cunningham Tuesday night (July 20) at a charity event for B.B. Kings in New York City.
The 27 year old Gore and Cunnigham came in as heavyweights at 200 pounds. The card was titled Corporate Challenge Boxing and the proceeds will benefit the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation.
******************************
Here is the last round. Because this was for charity and each man isn’t a professional, the ref give standing eight counts following any hard shots. So it wasn’t a “real TKO,” but I like the live play by play that both the boxers and audience can hear. Imagine that with an actual professioanl fight? Fighters can pick up ringside chatter, as Floyd Mayweather demostrated back in 2005. He was calling out NFL playoff predictions to Jim Lampley while fighting Henry Bruseles!
Floyd likes the Patriots (around 1:38 mark), agrees that he is dominating (5:23 mark), and picks the Falcons (5:27 mark).
