Ex Bill Frank Gore to Fight in Tampa Saturday Night

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Smart, now he doesn’t have to do so much running to get knocked in the head.

[T&C]

Frank 1 week ago training for the fight... and sporting some Bills gear. Dude is impressive, built like Tyson in a way.

I admire Frank Gore but it may be time to give the old body a break and enjoy being a multi-millionaire.  He doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.  We all know he is tough as nails and has the heart of a champion.

He's not doing it for the money. But because he is alive, and likes to feel alive. Not everyone wants to reach death safely while living a bland life. 

 

edit: nice to see him spar in Bills gear

This Jake Paul-era of boxing is sad and pathetic.

 

I was hoping to possibly get back into boxing someday (was an avid fan from the late 70s to the early 90s), but I'm afraid it'll never happen.

There are a lot of things he could do to feel alive that don't involve cumulative head trauma.  He is clearly free to make his own choices and is doing so.  Hopefully it works out for him but the long term odds are not in his favor.

Here's the thread.

You don’t have to watch this stuff to get back into boxing.  There are a bunch of talented fighters out there

I heard him on the Pat McAfee show. I think he just really wants to do for himself.

 

He sounds pretty excited about it. Just wants to keep competing somehow I guess

I love Frank Gore-- truly a great person, and teammate. But, I think Deron Williams is going to beat the snot out of him.

They've been showing a lot of the lead up down here this week... I'll switch between the Pats/Colts game and this until the fight actually starts. 9pm means nothing, they drag it out a long time lol. Frank hasn't left off working out from his NFL career, guy is buff. The ex basketball player is taller but I think/hope he takes him out with sheer brute force. 

 

Go Frank!

The builds of the two combatants are not very similar.

 

Williams has a typical, slender, NBA sort of frame and is 6'3" and 200 lbs.

 

Gore is 5'9" and like 215 lbs; built more like a gorilla.

 

15 pounds heavier on a 6" shorter frame tells you just how differently he is built.

 

Williams should enjoy a huge reach advantage, but it won't matter! 

 

I'm going to say Frank Gore kills him.

 

 

 

Probably use Mike Tyson peekaboo style

He isn't proving anything to anyone, hes doing what he wants to do and my hat's off to him.

Welterweights on now... don't expect Frank till somewhere around 10:15-10:30. Colts game till then.

[T&C]

Frank has entered the ring... fight to start soon.

[benderbender]

I hope Frank got paid at least

Looked kind of even to me but Frank is 0-1...  they wore each other out, don't think they could have gone another round. Hey, Frank got to knock another one off of the bucket list.

Is that illegal? I really don't follow this stuff. Didn't look that dirty. He just gave him a shove with his forearms and gloves. Maybe looked worst because Gore fell through the ropes.

The problem wasn't so much the shove, it was the hook he threw while Gore was down.

That's a no-no.

Oh okay. That makes sense. 

[Nelius]

Other than proving he's in game shape I really don't know why he did this. And proving your in game shape doesn't include getting beat pretty easily. It's not money at all, there's no way that partial robot Frank Gore is broke, and he's never done anything weird. He also had several interviews about this fight and it all kind of sounded like he wanted to just compete and showcase his health/skills. Got to protect that brain though, Frank. This was dumb.

[JoshAllin]

Lucky for Frank's brain Jake didn't want to add an NFL player to list , don't think it's worth it for Frank
