Amateur Boxer Named ‘Cam Awesome’ Compares Himself To Taylor Swift In A Post-Match Interview For The AGES


“I’M NOT SAYING I’M THE TAYLOR SWIFT OF BLOGGING, BUT I’M NOT NOT SAYING I’M THE TAYLOR SWIFT OF BLOGGING.”

I think I’m going to get that tattooed across my forehead.

The dude’s name is Lenroy Thompson, but he goes by ‘Cam Awesome’ and he gave the wildly cocksure interview on Thursday after losing to Cuba’s Lenier Pero in the semifinals of the Pan Am Games. Can’t imagine how the interview would have gone if he won the match. “I’m not saying I’m not the Chosen One, but I’m not saying I’m NOT the Chosen One.” Regardless, that attitude is going to do awesome things for Awesome in the ring and beyond. Love this guy.

FREEDOM BEAT COMMUNISM, BABY.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
