DAN LE BATARD | The World Awaits, Fight Night Weekend

PRESS CONFERENCE BRAWL, THE WORLD AWAITS WEEKEND...

OTBA -- On April 14, 2011, a brawl involving the two boxers and their entourages occurred at a press conference held in New York to publicise the bout.

Jonathan "El Depredador" Maicelo went on stage at the Hudson Theatre and stared in the direction of where Rashan Jones was to appear. As soon as Rashan Jones appeared, Jonathan "El Depredador" Maicelo quickly walked toward him and appeared to be about to assault Rashan Jones. One of Jones � bodyguards attempted to block Maicelo's access to Jones before Maicelo threw a left hook in the bodyguard's direction.

The two boxers rolled on the floor with personnel from both camps getting involved.

During the melee OTBA President the14scorpion claimed to be knocked out when he hit his head on the table.

Following the brawl Maicelo came to the edge of the podium, and issued a several minute-long profanity-laden tirade towards myself and a couple of other journalists attending, when we suggested that Maicelo should be put in a straitjacket. Maicelo punctuated his oration by vowing to introduce myself to the concept of prison romance.

This brawl at this press conference for this fight should easily make The Ring magazine event of the year. Are you ready for this weekend?
