Jose Canseco’s Celebrity Boxing Career Takes Another Sad Turn; Will Face Tareq Salahi on November 5th

(Props: battlecambrah)

Jose Canceso‘s record as a celebrity boxer currently sits at 1-2-1, including a knockout loss to Vai Sikahema, a decision loss to a 60-year-old man, a tough draw against Danny Partridge, and a win (finally) against Todd Poulton, self-described as “The Heavyweight Champion of OCD.”

We’d say that the former baseball star’s next match offers him a shot at redemption, but considering his opponent, he’ll look like a loser even if he wins it. Canseco is booked to appear at a Celebrity Fight Night event on November 5th against Tareq Salahi, best known as the “White House party crasher” whose wife Michaele is a total whore.

We’d say that the former baseball star’s next match offers him a shot at redemption, but considering his opponent, he’ll look like a loser even if he wins it. Canseco is booked to appear at a Celebrity Fight Night event on November 5th against Tareq Salahi, best known as the “White House party crasher” whose wife Michaele is a total whore.

During a recent face-off in Beverly Hills, Salahi confronted the crowd with a five-year-old photo of Canseco with Michaele, which skeevy promoter Alki David presented to the media in the front row with obvious glee. “I’m fighting for anybody who’s against cheating, be in my corner, and I’m gonna take Jose down,” Salahi said.

When it came for the traditional fists-up photo-op, Salahi was still harping on the photo thing, and the two had to be separated. The moment seemed obviously staged, and you have to feel embarrassed for everybody involved. Salahi is seriously trying to ride his fame as the Ultimate Cuckold? Canseco is reduced to beating up guys like that for a paycheck? Actually, I don’t feel bad for Alki David; his life seems pretty rad.

The November 5th Celebrity Fight Night card will also feature three cast-members from the last season of Celebrity Rehab. (Keep up the great work, Dr. Drew.) The lineup is below. You can watch the action live on pay-per-view at FilmOn.

(Coulda been worse, I guess…)

Just two months after bouncing out of the UFC following his third-straight loss at UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko, notoriously cursed striker James Irvin began his climb back to the big leagues at a Rebel Fights event in Roseville, California, on Saturday. As you’ll see in the video after the jump, it must have been a humbling experience from the get-go. Instead of a deafening, appropriately lit arena, Irvin squared off with a dude named Angel DeAnda for the entertainment of a couple hundred folks in a cinder-blocked space that was as small as it was bright.

It would have been especially depressing if Irvin lost — and he was a ball-hair away of doing just that. DeAnda starts the fight bombing out on Irvin with left hooks, but is floored by a patented Sandman Superman Punch. DeAnda pops back up, quickly scores a knockdown of his own, and starts pouring on the pain from the top. Check the vid’s 1:35 mark to see just how close Josh Rosenthal was to stopping the fight; he basically changes his mind at the last possible moment, which allows Irvin to get his bearings, work his way up, and put the stamp on DeAnda.
