Nick Booth takes a pasting

Fight Night INQ hack floored
Saturday, 31 May 2008, 01:30

BRAVE INQ HACK Nick Booth took a bit of a pasting on Thursday night.

The have-a-go boxer was knocked to his knees in the second round of his bout against Jason "Tosh Destroyer" Philips. A solid right left Nick crouching on the canvass. "The ref told me to stay where I was," Booth said before he left the ring to head for the bar.

Booth insisted he'd love to do it all over again.

"I enjoyed it," he said over a well-earned beer. "As soon as it was over, I wanted to get in there and do it all again."

We filmed all of Nick's brave performance and bunged it up Youtube here. µ

You're an ANIMAL!

Nick:

As a martial arts instructor, I really appreciated your effort. No one can say you didn't give your all to your match. You were aggressive and your punching form was better than Mr. Toshiba's looping punches (one of which unfortunately connected). With a little training (and a little toning), you could mop the floor next year! You have the instinct for it.

In the meantime, I will look forward to some "fighting words" in your articles on Toshiba's products (they will probably realize they made a big mistake shortly).

And, the INQ should give you a BIG BONUS for all the great PR!

Good Show Nick!!!!

I especially admire the way that you undercut with your guard up; incisively hacking the shibboleth from the lollapalootza, forcing backspins and wild swinging. Your boxing is entertaining too. Keep on Hacking!
Toshiba should award you the Ashita!
Or maybe a Sony award will tip up.
At least you're due an Incisive Media Staffie, a Pugilitzer, a Magee Cup, or a little something extra for Boxing Day!
Congrats Nick "London Olympic Hopeful" Booth. (Someone should have told him it was a black tie event. The poor chap was woefully underdressed!-)

Medical Report by RingSide Physician.

As Physician I have trained both Boxers & Karate. Did You Want Piece of IT?

Theres still Hope, Heres MY Insight. You Punch Like Whimp.(Punch thru victim, NOT Just up to) Non Pro Has About 15 seconds- start to scare Life out of Pro. Come on Screaming, Fists Ablazing, Straight head shots, NO dancing 8 or 10 Nose & Jaw shots just to get Your leg Up. Your Lucky your maple syrup syndrome wasn't body punched, Take floor shot, that is, give 'er right from floor straight up to under chin, then straight left to diaphram.(Repeat if Nessessary). Its thier world: spining.
Round & Round, When will Wilkes Learn. THIS IS WASHINGTON.
