First of all, this shite is hilarious.

Chess GM's are usually complete dorks save maybe 10% of them.


But there is some real boxing at the upper levels. Could you see this becoming bigger?

Here's the heavyweight James Canty from Detroit. Who is a Unit.

Not an elite boxer but he's trying to become a Grand Master. He beat the russian to become champion.

Are they using 16oz gloves?

Put the 4oz MMA gloves on these baws and let the best man win.

They have a brain to worry about

You can win the match in the chess portion.

You better win though. If you fatigue your brain on the chess and don’t win, you’re getting your arse knocked out in the boxing.

I don't think it can touch phone booth boxing:


Or the outlandish Suit Jiu Jitsu:

That's absurd

The fighter's face was way too serious for what he accomplished
