i want to live in a world were everyone has the character and integrity of dewey. and where everyone has his savage haircut

whoever is fighting dewey will have to be some real asshole to actually try and knock him out. if he actually sits there and gives dew a beating he'll be worse than screech when he knocked out that little old man in celebrity boxing

edit: damn youtube really has everything...swag

any publicity is good publicity, right?

I'm sure whoever it is will be an absolute bum, probably some dude with very little boxing experience at all. His opponent is still listed as TBA so they'll probably just pick up a cab driver a couple days before the fight.

But yeah, I wouldn't want to be that dude if I was trying to win. Would feel like an asshole if I beat him.

his opponent is Larry Hopkins (not related to Bernard Hopkins) who is 0-3. He should be able to get his dream of a victory.

 

[RM211]

But the reason for the bump is this good news:

Dewey Bozella to get $7.5 million lawsuit settlement

by David P. Greisman

Boxing fans learned about Dewey Bozella when he was set to make his pro debut, a 52-year-old man stepping into the ring after serving 26 years in prison for a murder he did not actually commit.

Bozella sued a county in Upstate New York after his release, seeking $25 million. That lawsuit has been settled, with the county agreeing to pay Bozella $7.5 million, according to the Associated Press.

He fought on the undercard of the October 2011 bout between Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson, scoring a four-round decision over Larry Hopkins.
