The Papineau Pugilist, Liberal MP Justin Trudeau (left) is all set to take on the Senate Slugger, Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau (right), on Saturday, March 31 at the Hampton Inn Ottawa. Can’t make it? Don’t worry — Sun News Network has the exclusive broadcasting rights and we’ll be showing it live!(Thanks to mediaball.ca for those great pix.)
It’s all for a great cause, too — raising money for cancer research.
Ringside seats are already sold out but there’s singles left. Find more info at fightforthecure.ca
We’ve been watching both men train and it looks like a decent matchup. Brazeau looks to have a heavier punch but Trudeau is taller with a longer reach and looks pretty quick on his feet. Good luck, gentlemen!
Looking at those pictures, Trudeau doesn’t stand a chance. He looks like “Ravishing Ronald” from the Bugs Bunny cartoon, “Bunny Hugged”, where Ronald goes up against The Crusher.
My money’s on Trudeau. The beefy guy is probably not as quick.
Brazeau does look meaner but if it’s for a good cause there shouldn’t be any stomping the other guy into submission anyways. It’s be mostly entertainment with a few good swings. Then Trudeau will hit the canvas……..:)
Wowzas! Were can I get more pics of that senator?
Punching each other out for charity. Really? Good reason to vote NDP.
If that’s how your vote is determined then the NDP deserves you.
Spencer, this is a symptom of what is wrong with these two parties. Putting on a big spectacle that is far more about the egos involved than the actual issue. The NDP is not immune either so any endorsement is somewhat marginal. A lesser of 3 evils if you will.
How about selling calendars? Selling calendars would be less damaging to both of your lovely faces, and it would make a lot of women (and men) happy.
Good cause – great looking guys. I am thinking Brazeau might take it based on the size of his fist compared to Justin’s. Both great guys though. Should be fun to watch.
My vote is on Trudeau, he is leaner, smarter and better looking
As I commented on FB, I would pay money to see a DEBATE…I do not like fisticuffs at all. I am also fairly sure his mom thinks this is nuts! I know it is for a good cause, but come on…we are smarter than this. Perhaps, after this contest, they will agree to rematch in a debate, to raise money for Mental Illness Awareness.
If you’d “pay to see a debate”, then I’m guessing you are over 50, and you’ve probably been paying attention to the political scene in Canada for years. Ask any 25-35er if they would do the same?! These guys are young and they are brilliant. What better way to connect with the younger apathetic voting demographic than to try to relate to their interests. I’ve never quite unerstood the appeal of UFC myself, (I’d be happy to see them in speedos in a diving competition or something) but I do know that in my particular demographic, I am out numbered greatly in regards to this facination with UFC and MMA sports. Plus, it is raising money for charity…and it’s just sport so relax ‘mom’. TEAM TRUDEAU woohoo!
Pure BS. Trudeau SR would have laughed this off and made some awesome comment only he could make that would show just how low brow this really is. How old is that Senator? and how come i never heard of the Sens signing him cause he sure cant be a real senator unless they let kids in now?
How about instead of them fighting for Cancer. They fight for the public they are supposed to serve. This whole thing is just a bad publicity stunt and now im wondering how smart JT is in even accepting. We aint gonna vote for someone who looks like a girl in the ring. Unless its a girl.
Give yer heads a shake folks. This is dimwitted nonsense and likely gonna cost taxpayers when they go on workers comp because of bruised egos.
Iggy pop vs JT maybe.
My money is on cancer research, for sure.
Je connais un peu Patrick et je pense que, Hum! Justin tu fais mieux de faire attention a ton nez mon cher. Il n’est pas violent mais, je suis sur qu’il ne veut pas se faire “battre”. Je pense que je vais bien rire de vous voir. Hahahaha
Wow, Justin Trudeau is super hot. If I picked my politicians on their looks he’d definitely be my choice for prime minister. Yummy.
You two should tag-team against Harper and Baird, that I would pay to see.
My money is on Justin, we are distant relations.
His Mom’ father was my Mom’s second cousin.
So I support the ‘Sinclair’
Well this got both my attention and my cheque book out…I never liked the fighting, boxing … but WOW what an orginal way to raise money for cancer… where do I buy the posters… WOW!! Ruby Roy
What? The hotness factor definitely goes to Brazeau.
hahah GOTRUDEAU! i have seen brazeau get his rear end handed to him before. his downfall will be his lack of speed…and ego. my money is 100% on Justin…that goes for looks as well
I prefer Justin’s ‘Haida’ bird tattoo ! 😉
