Evan Turner Challenges Twitter User To Boxing Match

A twitter user by the name of @JakeTheTailg8r recently posted a list of people he wants to punch, which includes Portland Trail Blazers swingman Evan Turner, who seems more than eager to give ole Jake an opportunity to live out his dream.

Turner responded on twitter, "I’ll be back in Portland this summer. Let’s hit up a boxing gym. Put the gloves on. I’ll give you a shot. Lmk." From there, the two exchanged several tweets back an forth, including some gems from Turner such as, "This isn’t a movie, I’m going to beat that ass. Like straight up," and "I only want his family there and a EMTs … Side note: E.M.T. are my initials. I’m going to make buddy tattoo my name on his back since he likes the “pimp” culture. #youllbebrandedHOR"

That said, Jake says he's still willing to take his shot at Turner, so we'll have to monitor the situation to see where it leads.

Check out the back and forth between the two (via Slam).

@JakeTheTailg8r: I want to punch the following: Ricky Bobby, Shooter McGavin, Tony Romo, Eli Manning, @thekidet, Henry Rowengartner, Brock Lesnar & the Sedin Sisters of the Vancouver Canucks
