And that, dear viewers, brings Boxing Gorilla Day/Weekend to a close for 2023! Scores have been settled, much punching has taken place, and @BuckTheBeaw and Jim will be off shortly to exchange their fist tape for bandages. Hurrah! Art by @MerDeKyle7! #BoxingGorillaDay #BuckvsJim
Ladies and gentlebeasts, we have a tie! @BuckTheBeaw and Jim Simyan fought each other to a standstill, and what a show they put on in the process! Now they've managed to pick themselves up, let's give these tough guys a big hand! Art by @MerDeKyle7! #BoxingGorillaDay #BuckvsJim
TIMBURR! @BuckTheBeaw and Jim are both down, and the 10-count has begun! The battered duo stir slowly, and with groggy groans manage to sit up...but they clearly don't know where they are! Eight...nine...10! That's it! A double-KO! Art by @MerDeKyle7! #BoxingGorillaDay #BuckvsJim
Fully 20 minutes since the start of this bout, and both @BuckTheBeaw and Jim are on their last legs. Dazed, bruised and bloody-nosed, they summon all their remaining strength to take a swing at each other simultaneously – and BOOM! Art by @MerDeKyle7! #BoxingGorillaDay #BuckvsJim
After a quarter of an hour the punches are flying less frequently, but they don't hurt any less when they land! Pulling up @BuckTheBeaw's head to sock him in the nose again, Jim instead gets a ferocious right hand to the gut. THUD! Art by @MerDeKyle7! #BoxingGorillaDay #BuckvsJim
Blow after booming blow has already left @BuckTheBeaw and Jim Simyan somewhat the worse for wear in this slobberknocker of a taped fist bout, but they just keep on sluggin'! And SMACK! A huge left cross from Jim sends Buck reeling! Art by @MerDeKyle7! #BoxingGorillaDay #BuckvsJim
A couple of minutes later, both @BuckTheBeaw and Jim Simyan have landed multiple weighty punches on each other; and after stunning Buck with a jab to the head, Jim follows up with a hefty left to the bear's undefended belly. THUMP! Art by @MerDeKyle7! #BoxingGorillaDay #BuckvsJim
Moments into our Boxing Gorilla Day exhibition match, @BuckTheBeaw very much sets the tone for the fight to come with an almighty haymaker to Jim's jaw, rattling the ape's brain around his head and knocking him across the ring! Art by @MerDeKyle7! #BoxingGorillaDay #BuckvsJim
Welcome to the Pro Animal Wrestling arena! Buck "The Bear Knuckle Brawler" Murphy (@BuckTheBeaw) and "Monkeywrench" Jim Simyan (my guy!) are raring to let the taped fists fly, so buckle up, everybody! It's going to be a wild brawl! Art by @MerDeKyle7! #BoxingGorillaDay #BuckvsJim
