He shocked the world. Okay, maybe not the world but he sure shocked quite a few people. 570’s Mike Farwell went the distance and then some.
Yesterday at The Whip Boxing Academy, Farwell went toe-to-toe for four rounds with former World Boxing Champion, Fitz “The Whip” Vanderpool.
Yesterday was the first day of Cystic Fibrosis Awareness month, and Farwell said he would do ANYTHING to raise awareness and money for the disease. “The Whip” challenged the man they call “Big Mike” and he accepted.
Weighing in at 152 pounds “Big Mike” relied mostly on defence and went with one of Ali’s greatest quotes of, “Your hands can’t hit what your eyes can’t see”.
Vanderpool, a Light Middleweight, has a 24 and 7 career record with 13 knockouts.
No official word on how much was raised for C-F, a figure will be released on the event Facebook page shortly.

Remember, he said he’ll do ANYTHING.
