WBC-USNBC national cruiserweight champion Ryan Coyne joined his hometown-favorite Cardinals at pre-game batting practice on Saturday at Coors Field in Denver before the Cards took on the Rockies. Coyne was lucky enough to spend some time at the cage with Major League Baseball’s three-time National League Most Valuable Player Albert Pujols.
They posed for photographers with Pujols landing “one on the kisser” of Coyne. Maybe Pujols should have enlisted Coyne to land a few punches on the Rockies’ before the game on Saturday as the home team went on to defeat the Cards 15-4.
Coyne has set up his camp in Colorado to gain the benefits of high-altitude training before making his first world title appearance on June 25 against defending WBA cruiserweight champion Guillermo Jones (37-3-2, 29 KOs), from Panama, at The Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo.
St. Louis Cardinals three-time National League MVP Albert Pujols lands “one on the kisser” of national cruiserweight champion Ryan “The Irish Outlaw” Coyne during pre-game batting practice at Coors Field in Denver on Saturday. Coyne is training in nearby Colorado Springs before making his first world title appearance against WBA cruiserweight champion Guillermo Jones on June 25 at The Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo. Maybe Pujols should have asked the boxer to land a few shots on the Rockies’ on Saturday as the home team went on to defeat the visiting Cards 15-4.
