Raging Boll fight results

UPDATED (SCROLL DOWN)

And the results are in as to the “interesting” publicity stunt that director
Uwe Boll launched a while back. To FIGHT HIS TOUGHEST CRITICS IN THE
RING. I was actually supposed to “ref” the fights (or so I was told) but
obviously that didn’t happen. The four matches were with
Richard Kyanka/Something Awful,
MiraJeff/AICN,
Chris Alexander/Rue Morgue, and 17-year-old
Nelson Chance Minter.



Check out the matches!

Of course Boll won. Duh! As I had pointed out in
my
initial story about this
; Boll has like 12 years of boxing under his
belt (something he had omitted in his initial Press Release) and its obvious by
the fights that his opponents didn’t have much if any ring experience. Props to
the webmaster that faced him nonetheless! Props!

New developments from post match interview with
Lowtax at Wikipedia.com:

-Uwe Boll promised them that he would have them trained before
the fights, but it never happened. Lowtax then said Uwe Boll
claimed before the fights that it would only be a public
relations stunt
and he wouldn’t be fighting seriously, which
he then proceeded to fight them with all his might,
catching them off guard. Lowtax also claimed that, "Half of us
(the contenders) hadn’t even seen his movies."


Lowtax also made the following statements
on Somethingawful.com:

1- There was an actual real critic who sparred with
Uwe Boll a few nights ago, who was a real amateur boxer. Uwe
refused to fight the guy in the ring; obviously he only wanted
people with no boxing experience. Anyway, when Uwe was sparring
with the dude, the critic / amateur had to quit sparring because
Uwe "was taking it too seriously" and really trying to beat the
shit out of the guy. So he just said fuck it and left.

2- Apparently when we were in another room, Uwe
declared he was going to beat the crap out of all of us and try
to "win by knockout." You know, like kinda the OPPOSITE of "this
is all a PR stunt we will have fun my movies don’t suck" that he
was saying before.

3- Like I mentioned before, Uwe said we would get
training, boxing equipment, and lessons beforehand. None of us
received any of this, which didn’t quite worry us at the time
since he kept saying it was just a PR stunt and he wasn’t really
going to box for real for serious blah blah blah. NEVER trust a
German. Three of the guys didn’t even have cups to protect their
balls; the only reason I had a cup was because my wife bought me
one.

4- The dude after me [Sneider] was throwing up and had
an EMT by his side for about an hour. He eventually had to have
an oxygen mask on. The dude after him was all bloodied up and
looked like crap. They too made the mistake of believing Uwe
Boll when he said it was just a PR thing, since neither really
trained.
