    I can't believe no one is talking about this yet. Did any of you see it? That has to be one of the funniest things I have seen on tv in a while.

    Danny Partrige completely destroyed Greg Brady. Greg Brady never stood a change. He was knocked down with the very first punch, and was pretty muc dominated the whole fight. TKO in the second.

    Willis (Tod Bridges) went bad on Vanilla Ice. This has got to be the funniest fight I have ever seen. I actually though Tod Van Wimpy had a chance to win before the fight started. He got his a$$ kicked by Willis from start to finish. I guess all that crack had no effect on Willis.

    Tonya Harding went trailer park on Paula Jones. I knew Jones didn't stand a chance though, she's too prissy. She pretty much ran the whole time (when she wasn't taking right hooks to the face).

    Overall I thought it was very entertaining. I hope they show some of these boxing matches. They definately won't have a shortage of washed up actors.

    I agree, it was hilarious. Even my wife was saying, "Keep your damn hands up!!" to Vanilla Ice. She never watches boxing. Paula Jones and Greg Brady were pathetic. I couldnt believe that she opened up a big can of quit.

    I was at the Brown Bar in Austin with some friends last night, watching this fiasco.

    We were making dollar bets on the winners and the rounds they would win in.

    Some folks actually bet on Vanilla Ice at my table. Their reasoning was, "He used to hang with some tough people in Carrollton, TX."

    Hahhahahhaaahahaahhaahhaaaa!!

    I didn't see this boxing thing. What channel was it on? Anyway, I think the celebrity shows are going to be here for a long time. I expect a celebrity Survivor sometime soon. It's very interesting to watch celebrity's battle it out. And I think they enjoy it too. So I bet we see a lot of this type of stuff soon. I would even expect to see some big stars do it.

    MTV was onto something huh. Even if it was clay.

    Hey, I watched it. Pretty hilarious. I thought Paula the Pounder was pretty game for being a last-minute substitution. She hung in there with virtually no preparation for 2 rounds before "no mas." I loved the way she kept turning her back on Tanya.

    Got any ideas for other dream matchups?

    Gary Coleman vs Beetlejuice (from H Stern)
    Ricki Lake vs Monica Lewinski
    Madonna vs Anna Kournikova

    I think Rosie would get turned on if she saw Oprah in a pair of boxers and a sports bra...

    I was thinking along those lines as well.

    Jerry Springer vs. Richard Bay

    Ted Koppel vs. Dan Rather

    Brittney Spears vs. Christina Aguilara

    Gary Coleman vs. Webster

    I'm sure ABC and CBS would love to let Koppel and Rather appear on a FOX program

    I actually thought Vanilla Ice would win this one too. Not for the same reasons as their's but simply because he use to race dirt bikes. I figured he had to be some kind of athlete so that would give him the advantage. Also the fact that Willis use to be a crack head.

    It was pretty funny watching Willis kick the hell out of Vanilla Ice.

    Did any of you guys notice that He got mad when they introduced him as Vanilla Ice?

    Willis used to be a crackhead, but he also used to be in prison. I'm sure he's had to fight people off for all kinds of reasons in prison. :)

    Here's my 2 cents:

    Announcers: Poor poor Chris Rose. Will I ever take him seriously as a sports reporter again? Nope.

    Bonaduce vs. Williams - You would think Williams would use his height advantage and weight, but that actually worked against him. Clumsy Greg Brady had no chance.

    Willis vs. Ice - I didn't see a lot of this match.

    Jones vs. Harding - What the hell was Jones thinking? This is a boxing match! She kept turning around to her corner looking like she wanted to call timeout. Harding got some shots in while Jones was turned around.

    You missed the best match. I still can't stop laughing everytime I think about this one.

    I didn't get to see it. Does anybody no if they are going to broadcast it again, or maybe a link to some video clips. I wish that I could have seen it though, it sounds hilarious.

    Other funny moments from last night:

    - Backstreet Boy and his sister singing the national anthem

    - Michael Buffer still using his catch phrase "Let's Get Ready to Rumble!"

    - Fox hiring real referees and judges to give Celebrity Boxing some credibility; unfortunately Mills Lane was not present

    - One guy in the audience "raising the roof" before the match even started

    - Anyone holding a sign

    - Celebrities having "Golden Palace.com" written on their backs for extra dough
