Yo Adrian!!!

Greetings

Throughout the last century there have been numerous memorable fighters who have entertained us while simultaneously scaring the crap out of us. North America has had a vivid love affair with pugilism and full contact martial arts for decades, and all of us have a certain fighter or two whose career we have followed and kept track of. Even fictional characters have entertained and delighted us over the years.

Who didn’t love this young chap from Philadelphia?

Although Sylvester would overstay his welcome, at one time all of us were trekking to the theatre in order to see him triumph over evil Russians, the Coach from Billy Madison, and even Mr. T.

And then there's this tough guy:

Recently young men (and women who love oily fighters) have fallen in love with a certain UFC fighter. That’s right, who can deny their affection for Chuck Liddel? Not only is he rich, but he has a Mohawk, which makes him the ultimate catch.

Sadly, fighting isn’t always cabbage patch dolls and lollypops. Ultimate fighters and boxers often take vicious beatings in order to entertain us.

Here’s a picture of ex UFC champion Andre Arlowski after taking a hard right hook. Look at his eye long enough and you start to feel the pain yourself.

But perhaps the most famous picture of a memorable beating is the one below.

Here’s a photo of Rich Franklin in the hospital after he broke his hand giving David Loiseau that nasty black eye. That particular fight still gives me nightmares.

Anyway, if you are wondering what any of this has to do with Korea, or even Shayne and Jo.com, well two days ago the most famous Korean Fighter took a nasty shot to the left eye and now it's all anyone can talk about across this great country.

Yes, the woman, the myth, the legend Jo “ Da Killer” Groves took a hardcore elbow from a young teenage boy who fell of his inner tube at the beach.

Check this bad boy out:

Jo "Da Killer" Groves didn't even have a chance during the fight. The boy dropped off his tube as fast as lightening and was standing overtop of the slumped champion before she even realized that she had been knocked out.

Now just in case you missed the first photo here is the instant replay brought to you by Pepsi - The voice of a generation.



Haha, poor Jo. Joking aside, when it first happened it wasn't even that big of a deal. A boy really did fall off of his tube at the beach and elbow her in the eye. But it wasn't until the morning after that the bruise appeared. Don't worry about her too much though. Before people just stared at her for being a crazy Waygook, now they cross the street to avoid the one they know simply as "Da Killer."

Much like Jo's vision, I'm outta here.

Cheers

Shayne
