Crowe Starts A Fight With The Wrong Guy


It seems that this time Russell Crowe has met his match with his latest violent outburst. Reports say that whilst dining in the Zuma Japanese restaurant in Knightsbridge with fellow Kiwi Eric Watson, he started a fight but came out worse off after boxer Watson gave him a thumping.

In a statement by Scotland Yard, a spokesman said, "An altercation between two men believed to be in their 30s occurred. When police arrived the situation was under control. No allegations of a crime were received; there were no arrests, and there will be no further police action."

New Zealand's Independent Newspapers Ltd quotes Watson's trainer as saying, "With Russell's injuries I would guess that Eric would have done the damage with a combination one-two finishing with his left hook, which is one of his best shots."
