Boobs 'n' boxing at strip-club press conference

Local boxing promoters are holding a press conference and weigh-in at Lou Turk's, a Tinicum strip club with mob ties.

Boobs 'n' boxing at strip-club press conference

POSTED: Friday, May 27, 2011, 1:45 PM

Victor Vasquez (12-5-1, 6 KOs) will take on Gustavo Dailey (4-11, 1 KO) in a lightweight boxing rematch next Friday at Harrah's Casino in Chester.

But I suspect some readers might think the "main event" is actually Wednesday's press conference, which will be held at ... the local strip club. And not any boobie bar. We're talking Lou Turk's.

Turk's, I'm told, happens to be a place of employment for reputed mob associate Nicholas "Nicky the Hat" Cimino, who pleaded guilty in 2009 to participating in a corrupt organization, money laundering, bookmaking and related counts.

This all sounds totally above board, right?

The fight card is being promoted by Joey Eye Boxing and David Feldman (brother of Celebrity Boxing Federation promoter Damon Feldman). Both Wednesday's press conference at 7 p.m. and Thursday's weigh-in at 6 p.m. are at Lou Turk's. And open to the public.

Just another weeknight in Delco ...

    All in one story, a sleazy reporter's trifecta!

    Sex ("boobie bar"), crime ("mob") and sports (boxing).

    Give that reporter a cigar.

    Lou Turk's is where, if the dancers don't like you, they will kick you in the face with their armor-piercing platform shoes. It happened to a guy from my gym. I think he got up on the count of eight and left the bar.

    You don't fool me Virgil the Turk. You are a weasel/wimp/sissy. Also I hear you are effeminate. And that you are a part-time cross dresser. The Crips and I are coming by one night this week and you better pay us proper homage, address all of us as "Governor," and give us free beer.

    To be perfectly clear, make that "each of us as Governor." And tell the dancers sporting tattoos to stay home. We just want clean girls.

    Orange has a rep for breaking up bars. Well, this time, he walked into the wrong bar.

    No, that was a guy from my gym. He has a lump on his forehead the size of a tangerine. And a fuzzy memory.

    Tomorrow night, Lou Turk. The Crips cancelled, but I've recruited about 50 of your natural enemy--the Greeks. They want to discuss the Cyprus situation with you. Will you have champaign for your new guests? And babes as wholesome as Hooters' chicks?
