John Scott, the awesome man

John Scott, the family man

Thank you for listening to dropping the gloves with John Scott.

All right, everybody, thanks for joining us.

Another episode, Drop in the Gloves, we got Ryan Vandenbush.

And I'll tell you what, Ryan, I played for the Hawks.

And coming into that team, you always, you always look at the former tough guys.

And obviously the Hawks have a laundry list of tough guys.

And the one guy who kept coming up, I thought it was going to be Grimson, I thought it was going to be Probert, I thought it was going to be all these other guys who were legendary.

It was Ryan Vandenbush, who everybody was like,

that's the guy who was just a motor, wouldn't stop, just would walk through punches and never

gave up. And I was like, damn, okay, we didn't, thankfully, we didn't play against each other,

because I don't think I would have scared you whatsoever.

But what's it like to have that reputation?

Like I watched a bunch of your fights and the announcers are like, this guy must have cement head, walks through punches, never phase.

Like, what's it like to have that reputation, Ryan?

I got thick bones in my skull I'm a little

sore than most of the people that were fighting me so that I broke a lot of hands on my forehead

but yeah no it was uh to me I didn't really put much pressure on myself I was a light heavyweight

as you know probably tip of the scales between 196 and 202-ish I got the 212. That was my heaviest. I'm like, nah, I can't play it this weight. So I just kept the down by around 202. And the way I looked at it, Johnny was, you know, fighting a guy like you, what are you, 6-7, 260-ish? Back in your 20- It was like 6-8-27. Yeah's that's crazy so kyle frederick was probably the

biggest guy ever fought he was around that he was six eight i think but i i just you know my

mindset was just uh go in there and do your best and uh if you lose well you're supposed to lose
