In fact, Romney is slated to fight former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield in the marquis event during a several-bout evening at the Rail Event Center near the Union Pacific Depot in Salt Lake City on May 15.

"It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious," Romney quipped in an interview recently. "It won't be much of a fight. We'll both suit up and get in the ring and spar around a little bit."


Once he is in the ring Holyfield will forget about this deal and hit him as hard as he can.

Romney had better pray this doesn't happen.  George Foreman once said, I think, that Holyfield was the hardest puncher he had ever faced.  Considering all the bombers Foreman has been in the ring with, that's saying quite something.

Gotta give him props risking some bad humiliation and beating to raise money for charity.

Boxers aren't known for their brains. Surely Romney has to realize there's a chance Holyfield may forget himself for even a second and throw a punch that would devastate him? The guy's in his late 60's after all.

Update: It's today!


The video is just as awkward as you could imagine:

Not the first time Mitt Romney has lost to a younger, more likable black guy.
