Hello Hollywood: Rocky was not real

One of the things that has harmed the sport of boxing has been the innate corruption that has dogged the sport for years and now I would say that the malaise has spread to Kick Boxing as well according to this report from Yahoo News.

BANGKOK, Thailand - Jack Osbourne, the chubby, bespectacled son for former shock-rocker Ozzy Osbourne, underwent almost four weeks of training and colonic irrigations before entering the ring against a veteran Thai kickboxer.

The result: a second round knockout win to the teenage television personality.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, respectively the muddled patriarch and prickly matriarch of the family whose life was documented in the hit reality show "The Osbournes," flew in to see Wednesday night's big bout, which was over in less than four minutes, a family associate said.

Jack, 19, who underwent drug rehabilitation in 2003, came to Thailand to learn the traditional sport — called muaythai — to help him get in shape for an upcoming rock climbing expedition in the U.S. said Ed Stobart, a Briton traveling with the young Osbourne. "He has been training very hard for three and-a-half weeks," Stobart told The Associated Press in a telephone interview on Thursday. "His mum and dad flew in on what is essentially a private visit to see him and they're having a family day today."

Jack spent four days at the elite Fairtex Muaythai Fitness Camp near Bangkok, the Thai capital, before traveling to the popular tourist island of Pha-Ngan for "a complete physical detox, which was basically twice-daily massive colonic irrigations to kind of flush himself out of toxins," Stobart said.

Four weeks of training and Jack goes into the ring against a veteran fighter and takes him out in less than four minutes. Now look me in the eyes and tell me with a straight face that this fight was not fixed. It just is not going to happen any other way. Thai boxing is the most brutal form of kick boxing. The children’s godfather was a professional kick boxer. He still teaches kick boxing. Even though he is middle aged and carrying a few extra pounds put him in the ring with a novice with four weeks of training and the old guy will clean your clock – every time.
