Round two of Steel vs Bearington, and the ape is not letting up! Spotting a gap in the bear's defences, he unleashes a straight right, and CRUNCH! Let's hope Bruno wasn't too attached to his sense of smell... (By Alan Stewart; shout-out to !)

Our next fight is a super-heavyweight match between 's masked mean machine Steel, and Bruno Bearington, the bruisin' bruin, coached by artist extraordinaire Alan Stewart (https://t.co/fFE7phDN49). And DING! There's the bell! We're off!

Gearin' up (quite literally) for a SLEW of new posts this seemed only natural to do a recap of Boz VS. Big Daddy.

It's never a good idea to snag a tough gang leaders boxing duds..but then again it's never a good idea to pummel a guy who can turn into a ape 2!
