I wish there would be an amateur boxing tournament and all those nerds would compete. Then, Eric Kelly would train them for 2 months leading up to the big tournament. Finally, Spike, FX, or Comedy Central creates a mini series of it. It would be the greatest show ever.
This guy's funnier than most comedians. Maybe he should get a job writing jokes for Martin Short or Chris Tucker and maybe they'll start making grown ups laugh again.
Some of you are saying that this man is crushing the confidence of all the people in the gym wanting the box. Saying that he might be crushing these guys' dreams. To that all I have to say is, if Eric's insults make these men quit boxing, they never had what it takes to be even a decent boxer, much less a great one.
hahaha.. "I put on a fresh new pair of 300$ socks every morning, wipe my ass with them at night, and, to really accentuate how much better than you I am, I don't do common man exercising. I fitness train with ex olympic champion boxer Eric Kelly."
Absolutely hilarious video. But I disagree with some of the comments here. You CAN teach someone, no matter how bad he is, to do ANYTHING. As long as they have the desire and fire in the belly, it's good enough. For these guys, the first thing isn't to teach them techniques, it's to instill in them a fighting spirit. That comes before anything else. Once you plant a seed in them, you get them to throw a punch with intent, THEN we can go somewhere with their technique.
not sure why everyone is mad? He just seems like a funny dude to me. Didn't seem like anyone was minding the jokes. Hey i might even stop by the gym in the future since its not that far away from where i live.
Too bad any real athlete like myself that doesnt pretend to workout or even act like i workout to show off or any of that shit feel the same way as Kelly, i see these dudes ALL THE FUCKING TIME, and it also gives me good laughs.
"Church Street Boxing Gym/Where everybody come to get fucked with Who's gon be the MC?/I guess they wanna tempt me To clown these lazy, raggaly, stupid dudes whose style is so corny Yea, they making money workin' on Wall Street/But in their mouth is where all the balls meet" Sheer poetry.
Why are people sooooo sensitive. It's fuckin' boxing...Its a blood sweat and tears sport. When it comes down to it there's nothing friendly about it. I think Eric is funny, he's a fellow New Yorker and I'm sorry this is how we get down. We talk trash, but it's entertainment. You think these "Wall Street" guys would continue working out there if they were hurt by what Eric says? Props to the guys in this video for having more heart than these advocates. You whiny little girls...grow a couple!
are you the real eric kelly xD i wrote you in facebook about the video man what do you think about the Pacquiao vs Bradley fight who will win in your oppinion ?
Yeah, No one "could last a day in his shoes" it's hard work talking trash and having a fucked up eye. People get confused and think he's talking to someone else.
hey, I told about disrespectful behavior. Not about my own boxing achievements. Actually,if you are interested that much, I keep on training but in another gym, that's why I can not train with Roman. As long as I do it for my self I don't give a shit what you think about me as a boxer.
