We started talking about fighting on Tuesday’s Crossing Broadcast because there has been a crazy amount of fight videos randomly popping up on my Twitter timeline in the last couple of weeks. Accounts I’ve never followed. I don’t hate it because it took me back to the prime of backyard fights. There was nothing like watching Kimbo Slice fight in some random parking lot on the early-Internet days of YouTube and WorldStar. Nowadays amateur fighting makes big bucks. So what if we put together a Phight Club for the Greater Philadelphia region? Everyone sends their best from Chester, Philly, Delco, Montco, Bucks, Camden, Mercer, Gloucester, and Burlington:

Here are the odds:

I think they’re pretty solid. Lets break ’em down.

 

Philly and Delco

These are the favorites. Like taking futures on the Patriots and Colts to win the Super Bowl in the 2000s. The two juggernauts who can pull from whatever part they want. Does Philly send its best from North, South, Northeast, or West? Does Delco send it’s best from Upper Darby, Ridley, Chester, or do the boys down in the Marcus Hook refinery make a surprise run? Philly and Delco are USA vs. Japan in the WBC. They were always meant to meet in the final. Catch these guys after an Eagles loss and it could be curtains.


 

Chester County

Did I think Chester was in Chester County when I first released these odds? Yes I did. West Chester, Malvern, and Paoli don’t necessarily strike fear in people. You’re going to have a tougher fight in court after those guys’ dads sue you for kicking their son’s ass. But don’t sleep on Coatesville. Coatesville could singlehandedly carry Chester to a victory.

 

Camden County

 

Camden isn’t what it used to be. Downtown has completely changed since the 76ers and American Water investment. You can’t count on Haddon Township or Cherry Hill. The only time they fight is when you call pork roll taylor ham. Nobody that has the largest Subaru plant in the world knows how to throw a punch and the toughest thing in Camden County is your insides after a bowl of Mama McNabb’s Campbell’s Chunky Clam Chowder.

 

Mercer & Montco

Mercer and Montco are like WCC basketball. You know there is only one team that can win the title every year. Norristown and Trenton step on up. It’s your time to shine. Trenton Makes, The World Takes… These Fists. It’s time to act like you’re actually the capital. I’ve seen some fight in those Princeton boys recently, but I think they have a better shot of beating Creighton than winning this fight club. I’m from Montco. That’s all you should need to know about Montco.

 

Bucks

BC3 Stand Up!

Lower Bucks is going to have to step up here because Upper Bucks won’t be able to carry the load. This isn’t CB West in the 90s. Dustin Picciotti ain’t walking through that door. They’re going to have to rely on Bensalem, Langhorne, and Croydon.

Gloucester

 

The scariest thing in Gloucester county is ending up at Rowan University. That’s basically like going to community college.

Burlington

The only thing Burlington County has ever made the news for is this:

Next.
