Sikahema kicks Canseco’s a$$

Jose Canseco might be the most self-serving douchebag in sports. But apparently he can’t box for squat.

The 6-foot-4 former steroid pumping major league power hitter took to the ring last night against Vai Sikahema, the 5-9 former punt returner for Philadelphia and Arizona in Atlantic City. And the former football player buried Canseco, knocking him down twice in the first round before the referee mercifully stopped the fight.

“He’s a very impressive-looking figure,” Sikahema told … some news outlet after the fight (can’t tell if the Post Chronicle writer of the attached clip did the interview or if he was crediting the quote to the Press of Atlantic City, so I’ll mention both to make sure proper credit is given somewhere). “But the guy is a walking corpse because he’s rotted inside out. He’s a pathetic figure.”

I always admired Sikahema, now a sports director and anchor for NBC 10 in greater Philadelphia, for making a solid career in the NFL despite a small stature. I think I like him even more now, not only because he knocked the crap out of one of my least favorite athletes ever but because he was classy enough to give a portion of his $25,000 payday to the family of a fallen police sergeant, Stephen Liczbinski.
