Human Punching Bag Throws In The Towel

The Washington Generals only pretended to lose games; raise a glass of the beverage of your choice to real-life professional punching back Peter Bentley (seen to the right posing before his first fight), who after 256 defeats will hang up his gloves in England. His only disappointment: not making the round number of 300 losses on his career.↵↵⇥“I’ve had my eye on the 300 mark for a while, and it’s a little milestone I want to achieve, but I don’t want to fight on,” Buckley told The Times. ↵↵Buckley served as whoopin’ cushion for 42 European, British, and Commonwealth boxing champions. He also kept a rigorous and effective training regimen, as he would often take fights days before they were scheduled, not months ahead of time as is customary. Either that, or he just didn’t train and relied on his naturally impenetrable skull to get him through beatdowns. (Actually, he was in the gym “all the time,” according this article. But the stone-hard head had to help, too.)↵↵However it worked out, Buckley is still alive and able to form coherent sentences. For that, a pint and a pie to you, sir. Good luck in your next career, which hopefully does not involve being beaten with great force about the head and face for a living.↵
