What did you expect? Lowtax to win? jeez.

Uwe Boll is still a dick though.

KDR_11k

Yeah, what does he expect fighting a former professional boxer? Should have gotten another pro boxer to do the battle.

Of course what we all wanted tos ee was ten steps at dawn.

acc

Man, that fight was something awful.

Mister Sentient

I don't understand. Why the hell is Uwe Boll boxing people anyway? Does he think that it will somehow silence his detractors?

Rick Stirling

Its the old 'If you disagree with me then act like a man and we can fight' routine. You know, the one resorted to by people who can persuade anyone that their ideas are any good.

I think lowtax handled it very well until he realized that Uwe Boll wasn't fucking around.

He was smiling and prancing around the ring until Uwe started to really fuck him up, then he decided it wasn't fun anymore and left

Trial by Combat. How medieval.

"I can beat you up, so I'm right."

Nilium

Or, to the logically inclined, ad baculum.

Marine

if only lennox lewis was an outspoken critic of boll too

Steve Schulze

You've got to hand it to Boll, he knows how to stage a good publicity stunt.

sonic

It's lowtax's fault. Wouldn't he understand that if someone challenges a bunch of people to boxing matches, they probably know how to box. He went in cocky and got his ass beat. I wish I could box Uwe

Cybroxide

Oh well. Lowtax is still more awesome the Boll could ever hope to be.

Asherr

somehow i doubt Boll would have chosen anyone who could actually box for these matches.

I miss Andy Kaufmann:(

No its more like:
"You are so stupid that you didnt do any research."

Good journalists always do their homework.

I thought it was brilliant. I don't like Uwe's movies either, but challenging critics to a boxing match takes a sense of humor at the very least. He must not take himself quite so seriously as we thought he does. It's highly unlikely Uwe thinks a semi-pro boxer beating up a geek is really going to help bitter wounds heal, he just knows a good stunt when he sees one ... and to their credit, so do the critics that Uwe pummeled like LEETLE FAERIE BEETCHES! KICK THEIR ASSES, UWE!!

Really? I get the impression that Uwe is built like a fuckin' brick. That guy can gawd-damn box, I'll wager.

well he has to be good at _something_ and it clearly isnt making movies.

That something would be making money. And perhaps literature.

apparently Uwe promised boxing lessons and such, and then denied them, and refused to fight anyone with previous boxing accolades.

Toomas

But why do you sign up for a boxing match when you cant box in the first place?

BTW from what ive read the 17 y/o is a kickboxer or something.

ebagg

Let's not kid ourselves. The only reason Uwe did this was because he wanted to punch some critics. I don't buy the "oh this is just a hilarious publicity stunt, he's great for thinking this up" comments I've been seeing for a second. He's jaded at critics, he wants to punch some internet nerds.

Erm ... how is punching critics not a publicity stunt? Do his intentions have to be completely pure for you to accept the event as declared? Whatever his interest in beating up critics, we're not going to soon forget the beating as administered. The footage is sucking tons of bandwidth, and both the idea and outcome have been widely covered in print and on the net, in the games and movie press and beyond. And this isn't a publicity stunt that he's really smart for having thought up? How high IS that bar to you?!

i wish the journalists would have gotten off their asses and trained a little, and at least shown an *ounce* of a fucking backbone in the ring.

The two videos i've seen make me cringe and wonder when you're going to read the crying of how some pussy critic got beat up, so he can go cry about it on the internet.

They knew what they were getting into, wish they had a little more self respect to actually stand up for themselves and put on a good show as opposed to running and diving like bitches. The quotes of "he was really out to beat my ass!" or whatever are just stupid; its boxing... ugh. They didnt have to go in and go all Ali on them, but at least stand up for themselves and back up their poor reviews.

I dont like his movies either, and it would have been funny to see some guy come out of the blue who'd worked up some skill and knocked his ass out. too bad all those journalists let us down.

Joao Sapiro

i didnt even know who the hell uwe was until i saw this , yeah im a biggot
