Lenny Dykstra No Shows Boxing Match Against Jose Canseco, Surprises Nobody

Jose Canseco and Lenny Dykstra were scheduled to have a boxing match over the weekend. In a Battle of the Crazies, the pay-per-view bout was filled with bad blood. Dykstra hates Canseco for writing in his book that he did steroids. It’s no surprise then that Canseco’s opponent was switched from White House crasher Tareq Salahi.

In his last “fight,” Canseco actually switched places with his twin brother, Ozzie. It’s an ingenious move that I haven’t seen since Doink the Clown did it at Wrestlemania IX, but apparently Canseco and promoter Damon Feldman worked things out. Feldman gave Dykstra $5,000 in advance with the promise of $10,000 after the fight.

Too bad he didn’t know Dykstra’s current residence is a Los Angeles rehab facility. Don’t know how much training he was doing in there. Plus, who has time when you’re making hundreds of millions of dollars picking stocks? Sucks if you were one of the 12 people that paid to see the fight.

>Jose and Ozzie Canseco Pull Celebrity Boxing Switcheroo, Fail

Jose Canseco was scheduled to fight on Saturday at a celebrity boxing event. However, just as the big match was about to go on, fans noticed that his tattoos were different. It turns out Jose sent his twin brother Ozzie in his place. There hasn’t been a bait-and-switch like this since Zach was supposed to go on a blind date with Mr. Belding’s niece and sent Screech instead. Not helping matters is the fact that Jose texted the promoter “You have to pay him” when “Jose” demanded cash up front. The promoter didn’t pay up and now he wants the $5,000 that he paid Jose earlier back.

When I was a kid, I always dreamt of having a twin and wreaking havoc on the world. We could take each other’s tests, date each other’s girls, go to each other’s jobs, and fight in each other’s celebrity boxing matches. It would be hilarious. If you ever saved your twin’s life, you would have it made. He’d basically have to do anything you didn’t want to do in your place. I wish I had someone like that for my community service in Hoboken.
