ATLANTIC CITY - The former Bash Brother got his head bashed in Saturday night.

In less time than it takes to round the bases after one of his moon-shot homers, Jose Canseco was knocked out by former NFL return man Vai Sikahema in their celebrity boxing match that was equal parts "Saturday Night Fever" meets "Road House." How's this for star power - 1993 Phillies World Series goat Mitch Williams was ringside for the main event.

Sikahema, who was an amateur Golden Gloves champ during his youth before starring in the NFL, rocked Canseco with a devastating left hook in the first 30 seconds that dropped the former slugger to the mat. After a brief recovery, Canseco withstood another flurry of punches from the "Tongan Terror" before falling like a timber and mercifully ending his night.

Asked after the fight if there were any surprises, Sikahema said, "That it didn't finish in the first 30 seconds."

"Don't even think your size is going to matter," Sikahema, who is seven inches shorter and 43 pounds lighter than Canseco, continued. "In Philadelphia we will chop you down."

I guess Canseco knows what that goalpost in Giants Stadium felt like.

Jose Canseco is NOT the "Tool of the week". More like "Tool of my lifetime".

Call home Jose, your village misses their idiot.

Roids won't help as much in boxing. Believe it or not, boxing is as much of an endurance test as anything else. That's probably the reason why you wont see the Roided up bruts of UFC fight in a professional boxing match.
