Lenny Dykstra fights Jose Canseco Saturday in Hollywood

Where is a professional athlete gone broke and facing criminal charges to turn? If you’re a loyal reader, you know there is only one answer: Celebrity Boxing Federation promoter Damon Feldman.
Embattled ex-Phillies star Lenny Dykstra will take on Jose Canseco in Alki David’s Celebrity Fight Night featuring a Battle of the Baseball Bad Boys, at the Avalon Concert Hall in Hollywood. The fight, at 9 p.m. EST Saturday will be online streaming at FilmOn.com and according to Feldman, will also be available on pay-per-view television through Comcast and other providers.
Dykstra had been a scheduled guest at a sports memorabilia show this weekend at Oxford Valley Mall, but according to Feldman, who is promoting the fight with Alki David, Dino Bomis, and Bobby Capone, the guys bought Lenny out in order for him to be able to fight in California on Saturday.
"Lenny is fighting for his good name in baseball. Lenny's life for the last two years has been upside down mainly because of snitches," says Dykstra's business manager Dan Herman, of West Chester. "Canseco is one of the many rats that have diminished Dykstra's career," Herman says, citing how Canseco's book "Juiced," helped lead to the MLB investigation into steroid use in which Dykstra was involved.
Herman predicts Dykstra will knock out Canseco in the third-round.
Very sad!!!Millionaires who lost it all by their own behavior...good lesson to all!!!— sarah89- what's left to 'manage'?— sn11
- Did Canseco's disclosure that Dykstra was juicing lower anyone's opinion of Dykstra or even add to the universe of information about him? Everyone knew that Dykstra was juicing in 1993. The question is, who else on that team? The guess here is Hollins, Incaviglia, Daulton, and Jackson.— HolidayinCambodia
- didn't Feldman just sue Canseco in Delco???— Doug Scott
- Lenny is still going to jail when he is sentenced in January.— Drew777

OMG are you kidding me? Dykstra cheated! Along with Canseco, Arod, Andy Pettite, Many, Jason Grimsley, etc etc. They are all crooks including Bud Selig for knowingly allowing the steroids— jamarder - Dummies.— kelprod2
- The guy is a bumb- he gets what he deserves.— eagleinflorida
- This is truly sad. Suggest they both submit to a urine test before the fight, and rehab after.— 24sDad
- Dykstra is the quintessential lowlife trashy Philadelphia type. He really should have been born in Philly, it's where he belongs. Maybe he can be the mayor of wing bowl.— taxmanndumbeth

- they should tie him to the corner post and let everyone he owes money to get a couple punches in.— J T
- @taxmanndumbeth - so why post here? You're reading about philly yet you claim all philadelphians are lowlifes...what does that make you? an idiot. go back to NY or crawl back under your rock.— paul66
