West Virginia fight promoters put on an annual event called the ‘Rough N’ Rowdy Brawl,’ a boxing showdown for amateurs within a 50-mile radius of whichever city hosts the card. To help stir up buzz for the Brawls, they ask the fighters to record short, to-the-point hype videos about how tough and great they are. Now, if you read those two sentences and decided “hype videos for people within 50 miles of an amateur West Virginia toughman competition are probably a comedy goldmine,” OH MAN, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
Meet Bucky Boyd, a 7-foot Welch, WV, gent who feels he was wronged in his previous fight against a guy called The Tree. Important note: this is not pro wrestling.
“McDowell Co. Giant” Bucky Boyd of Welch, WV will be fighting in the heavyweight division at the Rough N’ Rowdy Brawl in Bluefield, WV at the Brushfork Armory on Nov. 9-10. Bucky is 7’0″ tall and 400 lbs. He wants a rematch with 7’0″ tall, 266 lbs. “The Tree” Daniel Shrewsbury who he fought in Welch. More info at http://www.boxingcontest.com/
The absolutely must-watch video is after the jump. Please don’t miss this. I don’t care if you skip past our next 10 Taiwanese Animation video shares and bikini galleries, just make sure you’ve heard Billy Boyd talk, and share it with everyone you’ve ever met.
Thoughts on the video:
- HE HATES THESE CANS.
- I agree with Boyd about his last fight with Tree. It was daffally frook.
- Wait, is he fighting an actual tree?
- I love that he approaches the camera in every single cut.
- I am also slightly concerned with how much Boyd wants Tree on Friday night, and how much he dreams of him.
- “When I hit people … I break bo.”
- Does he have something in his front pocket, or is he just really excited?
- His grape squashing is epic. I love that they included him getting grape juice in his eye. Did you only buy one grape? Was that your one shot to get it right?
- I’m not convinced that Boyd is actually 7 feet tall. He could just be a regular-sized guy with someone filming him at that weird angle. Besides, do they even make sideways hats that large?
- The Hot N’ Ready Rough N’ Rowdy Brawl website is just as funny as Boyd. Proof:
YES I WANT BE THAT.

America is confusing.
AMERICA IS THE BEST, SORRY YOU DON’T GET IT
MERICA*
well doesn’t he really look and talk like a fat james storm ?
America, fuck yeah!
James Storm looks like a fat James Storm.
Bucky, the gold jacket’s yours! The tree’s gonna choke!
Gold jacket, green jacket, who gives a shit?
And people think Wrong Turn is just a movie
Oh my god McDowell County. So I used to be an attorney in Charleston and one of our clients was a coal company with a processing plant in McDowell County. It is so in the middle of nowhere that you had to drive south into Virginia, then come back north into West Virginia. Anyway, when we would go on a site visit, the client would make us leave our car at a gas station in Virginia, because if we parked it anywhere in McDowell County every piece of metal would be stripped from it when we came back. Hooray!
Do you think maybe that’s less a reflection on the local criminal element and more on your being a corporate attorney for a coal company?
If only NWA MSW was still around, we’d be looking at its new champion.
he’d make a good carney.
“Bucky is 7’0″ tall and 400 lbs. He wants a rematch with 7’0″ tall, 266 lbs. “The Tree” Daniel Shrewsbury”
And Three Mile Island was all cleaned up… riiiight.
I want to see an Odd Couple movie with this Bucky Boyd guy and John Taffer from Bar Rescue. Now THAT would be dynamite.
Free advice for “The Tree”: First, pop Bucky in the mouth. Then, when his trunks fall down hammer away at the bandage over his belly button. TKO, baby.
it took me about 5 minutes to get to the video because i was already laughing uncontrollably after the first paragraph.
You see, the thing about a Bucky Boyd, he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes.
Whichever fighter has Boyd Crowder in his corner will win.
This is not a real person. We coulda found Bin Laden in a day if Bucky was on the scene.
He’ll beat “tree” this time around, but I predict he’ll be on the receiving end of a first round KO when he takes on “books”
City Folk!
As a resident of the great state of West Virginia, if you ever get a chance come to West Virginia to attend a a Rough n’ Rowdy or Toughman. Go on a Friday night when the bouts are huge mismatches. The ring girls are crappy tattoos to cover their stretchmarks and usually the better fights are in the stands. It’s great!
Check out some of the “hot” ring girls:

Oops, the ring girls have crappy tattoos, not that they are crappy tattoos.
Pretty sure he was speaking ubbi dubbi a few times in that video.
