Hillenbrand / Gibbons - Tale of the Tape
Just because I haven't seen this information posted elsewhere (and with apologies to Nick Bakay).
Of course I am referring to the recent brouhaha between Shea Hillenbrand and Blue Jays manager John Gibbons who challenged Hillenbrand to a fight. I would have bought the pay-per-view package for this matchup. But who holds the edge?
Age:
Gibbons 44 / Hillenbrand 31 - advantage Hillenbrand
Height:
Gibbons 5'11" / Hillenbrand - 6'1" - advantage Hillenbrand
Weight:
Gibbons 200 lbs (approx) / Hillenbrand 200 - advantage Hillenbrand
Name:
Gibbons - John / Hillenbrand - Shea - advantage Gibbons. The first names have to be mentioned. A boy named Shea doesn't have the same anger as a boy named Sue. Let's face it - Shea is just a wimpy name. Whereas John is a strong traditional name.
You have to think that Hillenbrand is in the better shape but Gibbons holds the advantage in guile, willingness to duke it out and authority (always tougher to take on the older brother type). I would have handicapped this match as an even money bout and those are the best to watch. This would be even better as a UFC match. Get these guys into the octagon!
