It has been reported that at A-2, Ken Roczen (jokingly) said he would fight capital J journalist Steve Matthes in the octagon. This brought up a good question. Who would win in a fight?

Kenny is genetically in the top 1%, but I'm not joking that my paycheck is on Matthes has the german covered. Anyone saying this thread is dumb needs to remember there is an 11 page rider look alike thread.

Matthes on size, Roczen on ability to withstand pain. I think Roczen rope-a-dopes him for a few rounds and then just annihilates Matthes when he's tired out.

If Kenny loses, he will make a post on IG about how it wasn't his fault and then delete it.

Roczen wins by decision, Matthes then wins via protest for weeks (months) on end because he's never wrong.

It’s not genes, it’s work. 
 

Anyway, Matthes wins in 60 seconds or Kenny wins in round 2.

Matthes passes out after thirty seconds . I think he's 4x Manitoba champ? He may have mentioned it once or 300 times. As a side note, a racing buddy of mine from Manitoba says Steve was pretty quick back in the day.

If Matthes had a different personality, I'd go with him.  Although Kenny's personality isn't quite killer either from what I gleen from my couch.  I voted Kenny for his supreme fitness.  He could run circles around Steve, kick him in the balls once he was dizzy, then do some kick starts to his back once he topples ala WWF back in the day.  However, if Steve-O got hold of one of those wrists, brought him in for a bear hug, tripped them both down to the mat, I'd say it's over for #94.  Funny fodder to think about and I enjoyed hearing it on Pulp Laughing

That’s what I was going to say. If Steve is 5’11 he is around 260-270

I'd like to see Bowers vs Pieck as the co-main event.

This is great! I think if Roczen could avoid early punishment he would be prosperous in the championship rounds...

Roczen pulls out of the fight due to health issues.

Then retreats to instagram to tell everyone he's not done and calls out the haters

Steve gloats in his win and talks about how he's the champ and claims he's undefeated, and everyone else is wrong about everything. (The gloating lasts for an eternity).

Kenny gets the win but the decision is reversed due to his agent refusing the post fight drug test.

Plenty of more relevant people in sx/mx to pay attention to than both of them combined. ⚡️💚⚡️

Pookie comes in with a chair  for the Matthes W 

Roczen ducks out of the way and the ref gets hit with the chair..Matthes pulls out the brass knucks and lays out Roczen, then pookie pulls the refs lifeless body back in the ring for the 3 count.

You know I saw a pic of him just yesterday when he was keefers  manager at smart top for those two nationals and was thinking he looked pretty damn cut then compared to now. I thought he was all about the e-bikes still??

Kenny easy, I know Kenny is no boxer but he trains a lot and is incredibly fit. The average 75kg amateur boxer who trains once a week, will easily beat a 110kg overweight guy that doesn’t train at all. (unless the 110kg guy has a significant boxing background previously)

seen this exact scenario many times in boxing clubs over the years.
