Backyard Boxing (Sorry Mom)

by Adam & Lara on 07/26/10

First, let me establish that "sorry mom" is addressed to Mama Saraceno, not Mama Cirkovic. Lara never really does anything stupid, and in fact spends most of her free time trying to prevent Adam from doing stupid things. In this instance she failed miserably.

Secondly, before Bonny has a heart attack, let me establish that I am perfectly fine and not hurt or in any sort of trouble. So stop freaking.

Adam recently participated in a backyard boxing match. Backyard boxing is just like regular boxing but the fighters are more mismatched and reckless and there is nothing of material value to be won. Just pride and/or pity from your girlfriend. Adam got both.

Cardboard sign. Ring made out of road cones and caution tape. Ref holding a beer. This is backyard boxing.

As awesome as that picture looks, it's hard to believe that Adam got his ass handed to him. Lara was nice enough to get the first 30 seconds of the first round on video. Here's an idea - every time Adam falls over, drink! No, just kidding. You don't want to drink that much.

Alright, I'll give him that last knockdown. The side of my head was just sitting there waiting to get smashed like a watermelon at a Gallagher show. The other two falls I chalk up to poor footing and complete lack of athleticism. Surprisingly Adam fared a lot better than this for the rest of the fight, and he did a lot better than some of the other dudes that fought after him. But unfortunately this is all the video we got, so this is how it will be remembered.

I had my doubts about the caliber of this backyard boxing party, but after seeing the ring I knew it would be totally legit.

Once the fighting ceased we were all friends again. This is the way it works when you hang out with Irish people.

Oh yeah they had this gun that shot alcohol into your mouth too.

I can't believe that dude didn't fall over with a panic attack when he saw how badass that metallica shirt was. This just made my day.

Adam, I think you managed the first 10 seconds well and it looks like you managed to get a lick on the ref too. If this was ultimate prize fighting, you probably would have had 'em no prob.

Yet another chapter in the lengthy litany of Stupid Saraceno Stunts... I agree that Lara appears to demonstrate common sense, but ponder this: how sane could she really be if she hangs out with you on a regular basis, eh?
