Boxing at Ohio Open 2009

[Dene]

This was the mystery event. Box while OH cubing. The first round was Bob Burton and someone that we are not sure of the name yet (anyone know?) The second fight is me getting wasted by Mike Hughey. The fact that he actually solved the cube in about 1:40 while doing that is crazy >.<

haha that's awesome xD

Bob is ruthless.

It should be noted that Dene was almost done himself - he was only a few moves away from solved when I finished. It was quite a bout.

Dene and I were pretty close equals on this, because the skills to do this are not that different from solving with feet. I had the advantage because:
a. I have a much longer reach, and
b. I've done solving while juggling.

 

[Bob]

That was perhaps the most fun I've ever had at a competition.

 

[Dene]

That was perhaps the biggest beating I've ever had in my life

 

[Chuberchuckee]

That was perhaps the coolest cubing related video I've ever seen.

 

[AvGalen]

That was perhaps the biggest disappointment I ever had on the forum because I can't watch video's from work and I will be in Denmark for the next couple of days

(places a big reminder in his mail)

The same for me. Can't view the video and I'm leaving in 1½h. anyway, I'll see you tomorrow. I hope to beat you in FMC. Be sure to not get a DNF.

What about these?
c. I have kids so this wasn't new to me.
d. Most people are better OH cubers with their left hand and better boxers with their right hand.

Point c is excellent. I guess Mike has even learned to subconsciously "know" where the dangers are in his house. He doesn't train blindfolded cubing, he trains "avoid the dangerous kids". In order to give the kids a chance he puts on a blindfold and tries to distract himself with a mental challenge that hardly anyone in this world can complete.

Frank is god
Pedro is the man
Mike is .... Mike

The first round was Bob Burton and someone that we are not sure of the name yet (anyone know?)

I think his name was James Hildreth. If i am not mistaken, he was the one with the missing 7x7x7 center cap that we had to track down.

Jill confirmed that as well.

Even more fun than that Parity Fairy?

d. Most people are better OH cubers with their left hand and better boxers with their right hand.

Something that is relevant to both of these points:
At first Shaden wanted to put me up against the little Hughey's, but they didn't want to. The reason he did this is that a few days earlier I had told him that I punch like a girl. Personally, I'm glad they didn't do it because they would have wasted me >.<

(So I guess the relevances that I mentioned are: You mentioned the girls in point c., and you mentioned how I can't punch in point d. in a round about way ).

Also, right hand OH ftw! (also my left arm is stronger than my right )

Now I think it was actually better that I didn't go...

Who cares who solved it first. Who won the fight?

 

[Tim Reynolds]

That was perhaps the most fun I've ever had at a competition.

I'll remember that: Bob prefers beating up little kids to solving Rubik's cubes.
