Bay Street Brawl

So check this out: Twice a year, in Toronto, Bay Street professionals get the opportunity to beat their colleague to a pulp in a legit boxing match. They get 2 months to train, no prior experience, and they fight! Why not, right?

Have a look at what blogto has to say about this:

The Brawl on Bay Street is an bi-annual boxing match featuring high-powered financial executives that's now entering its 14th year. Designed as a sort of Freudian displacement for all the testosterone and combativeness that defines life on Bay St., the concept is pretty straightforward: executives with little to no boxing experience are given a few months to train before engaging in a slugfest in front of all their colleagues at Arcadian Court. While a novel concept, unless you know one of the fighters, it's tough to get too excited about a couple of traders bashing each other's brains out.

Thoughts?

 

I've got 7 white collar boxing matches under my belt. Fights can range from slapfests to good amateur level. Mainly the former.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
 

I hope they have good refs who are ready to stop fights, because 2 months is not even close to building fight readiness. guys with higher levels of aggression will beat the shit out of the less aggressive, at that level skill is a nonfactor. speaking out of 4 years kickboxing exp and 2 concussions

 

Working on a deal in Melbourne Australia one time. Our colleagues down there took us to the same type of arrangement one night - "Executive Fight Night". Seemed to be mostly guys from the Big 4 from what I could gather as you actually fought for your company under some type of points system. Fight opponents were purely selected on weight. Don't remember too much else apart from getting pretty sh1t faced and ending the night at Spearmint Rhino in Melbourne.
