Bar Brawler

De: Tank Abbott

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Walter Foxx, Happening Beach, California’s most feared bar brawler, works at Sea Lion Beach Liquor at night, attends Wong Beach State College in the day, and dishes out street justice in his spare time to the scumbags, posers, wannabes, and bullies of the world who violate his personal code of honor. Driving a 1987 Chevy Sprint with his faithful pit bull Adolf riding shotgun, Walter and his twisted crew of Poppa Chulo, Rolando, Big Cal, and Gonzo hold court at the Dead Grunion bar where they take on all comers. When Walter sees a man beating his girlfriend one night and steps in to assist her, he gets punched for his trouble and makes the perp pay. The man has friends in high places, though, and Walter soon finds himself facing felony assault charges that his 600 pound bench-press-fueled fighting skills alone can’t beat. As he battles liars on the stand and his own hapless attorney John Wittless in a desperate bid to clear his name and avoid prison, Walter struggles to understand what his life means and what his future holds. Author David "Tank" Abbott, the “Huntington Beach Bad Boy” and the world’s most famous brawler, had over 200 street fights before bursting onto the MMA scene in 1995 when he shocked the world by defeating larger opponents with crushing ferocity inside the cage to become a household name. He later went on to star in the most watched “Friends” episode of all time before becoming a fixture at Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling where he quickly became one of its most recognizable personalities. He later returned to the cage with his trademark intensity, leaving an indelible and enduring legacy. This seminal three-novel work chronicles the adventures of fictional character Walter Foxx, who is at the crossroads of his life and who navigates the harsh worlds of bar brawling and street fighting with the goal of living his dream and following his passion and someday becoming a no-holds-barred fighter. Written from the ultimate insider’s perspective, Tank Abbott takes readers from the parking lot to the cage with a realism and honesty about mixed martial arts never before told or exposed − until now!

Must-Listen For MMA/UFC Fans

Tank Abbott’s charisma and storytelling shines bright in this first book. Can’t wait to finish his trilogy.

tank calls everyone bullies and scumbags but

well tank (Walter) details alot about how he was serving justice but ultimately he was always looking for a reason to get into a physical altercation. people can blow hot air all day long at you it's not worth risking your job health or wealth to respond on their level in my opinion. very few situations he describes could not have been resolved by walking and ignoring insults. fighting someone because of something they said is the weakest thing someone can do in my opinion. that said great stories from a true force of nature.

An amazing story of one of the most original ufc fighters ever.

I love the unvarnished honesty. He’s a real guy and a mensch to boot. Listen to this to learn how the proverbial sausage is made. God broke the mold when He made Tank.

Great Fighters Book!!

Tank is a legend in MMA fighting! I really enjoyed learning how he got his start and what drove him to cage fighting. I wish the other two books were on audible.

the good story!

The reality

Kept my interest , funny, good explanation of wrestling, lots of drinking ,ass kicking , loves his dog , bad guys getting the shot beat out of em

Good story!

Good story, kind of surprised me, writing was pretty good. Virtual narration is a little annoying at first, but you get used to it.

Rock solid

This trilogy is rock solid and super interesting. As a fan of old school UFC and street brawling I highly recommend it. The AI reading is a little wonky but so is “Tank”.

I don’t watch UFC, but I’m a bored and raised HB local.

David Abbott “Tank” made going to local party’s or clubs very interesting and possible scary
I’m not a fighter but I’ve seen David in action. Great 3 books
I love how he changed the names slightly. If you know, you know
Great time in HB history
Before there was RULES!!!!!

Great book

Could not put it down, finished in one day, looking forward to the next 2 volumes.
