FROM COACH: This fight was added at the last minute. Patrick was Dr.Faust’s opponent and East Coast’s opponent was a no show (I think). I did not catch the last round - I was checking up on Mefisto and trying to figure out what hospital Dr.Faust was in.

FROM COACH: Dr.Faust looked so good! Beware, this video includes the first attempt to pop his shoulder back in place.
DR. FAUST: In rhetoric an anti-climax is an abrupt declension (either deliberate or unintended) on the part of a speaker or writer from the dignity of idea which he appeared to be aiming at; as in the following well-known distich: “The great Dalhousie, he, the god of war, Lieutenant-colonel to the earl of Mar.” An anticlimax can be intentionally employed only for a jocular or satiric purpose. It frequently partakes of the nature of antithesis, as—“Die and endow a college or a cat.” In Dr. Faust Land an anti-climax can also refer to the circumstance of going through six weeks of bootcamp craziness to prepare for a boxing match, and then making it about 90 seconds into the fight before dislocating one’s shoulder forcing the contender to quit the fight and to leave the startled opponent behind in the ring. Friends, I am sorry for the short display of my newly acquired boxing skills. I am afraid I am not in a position to return your entrance fees if you came to the fight. However, I’ll pay you a beer next time I see you and I’m also happy to take whatever verbal abuse you may have prepared for me by now. In the hope that you feel some kind of reconciliation by viewing the futile attempts of cracking my shoulder back into the socket in the above video, or by witnessing me trying to make sense of it all under the influence of 16 units of morphine, I remain faithfully yours, Dr.Faust.
