LOOKOUT: Heated weigh-in for tonight’s heavyweight championship bout! [RAW VIDEO]
HYANNIS: Yesterday’s weigh-in suddenly descended into near fisticuffs as a HN camera was up close and rolling…
It was a reservedly festive but tense situation yesterday afternoon at Trader Ed’s in Hyannis as the fighters of all five bouts weighed in and faced each other for the cameras.
The doors open at 6:00PM this evening [Saturday August 8th] at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center as Hytown’s own Jesse Barboza challenges for the North Eastern Heavyweight Championship. There are some tickets still available at the time of this report. But arrive early as supplies won’t last…
HN footage of yesterday’s volatile weigh-in indicates tonight’s fight will not go smoothly for either boxer contending for the coveted heavyweight title…. The footage speaks for itself… It illustrates a tense and volatile face off, where people had to step in to prevent further violence… VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

Robert Bastille,
P.S. — Tonight’s HyTown Vignette is brought to you by Kid Rock & Nickelback’s cover of Elton John’s classic hit “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” (with lyrics below)… [Reminds me of a time when HyTown use to have big hockey, as well as pro boxing… HN is looking forward to tomorrow’s much anticipated event… and wishes all contenders the best of luck!]
Lyrics:
“Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)”
It’s getting late I haven’t seen my date
so tell me when the boys get here
It’s seven o’clock and I wanna rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man’s drunker than a bar full of wino’s
And my old lady she don’t care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Don’t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night’s alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
‘Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright, alright, alright
Packed pretty tight in here tonight
I’m looking for a woman to treat me right
I could use a little muscle to get what I need
I’ll drink a fifth of jack and scream out “She’s with me!”
A couple of sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I’m a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats from the bottom of a glass
Don’t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night’s alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
`Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright, alright, alright
[Solo]
Don’t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night’s alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
‘Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night’s all right
