Cornermen

Adam Jaco

out of Sarasota, Florida. Adam had to take
some time off from boxing due to a shoulder
injury, but has come roaring back. Adam is
a fitness and boxing instructor at the Team
Jaco Boxing Fitness Gym in Sarasota. Adam
is the trainer and coach of the Team Jaco "Young Guns" amatuer boxing team. As busy as Adam is,
he still takes time out to spendwith his wife, Sarah.

Mini Sticks
Mini Sticks is the son of Charlie Chopsticks. Mini Sticks is an in studio guest on most shows, taking the intellectual angle of the show. Mini Sticks is not satisfied with the usual bland media questions for the guests, so he will ask the hard hitting questions of the guests. At times, Mini Sticks will draw the ire of the guests and not back down on his point, which we love about him. Mini Sticks can be heard on most shows as a third voice for Fightin' Words.

Seconds

Bubba Fancypants
Bubba is a regular caller to Fightin' Words. Bubba made his debut on the very first show. He called to complain about the fancy pants that some fighters wear during the bouts. Bubba starts off every call with "Hello Boys, is that you?" Bubba calls to talk about the drunken adventures that he and his friends have had during the weekends. His partners in crime are D-boy & Charlie Chopsticks.

Charlie Chopsticks
Charlie Chopsticks is a frequent guest/host of Fightin' Words. He is reportedly an associate of Bubba, although that has not been confirmed.
Chopsticks has called the show several times to try to level out the nervous energy that appears on the show. Although he is a huge boxing fan, Chopsticks has his mental flaws, as he is a N.Y. Mets and N.Y. Jets fan. Too bad Philly has dominated those teams.

Stanley Irwin
Stanley is another regular caller to the show. He is the supposed cousin of the late "Croc Hunter" Steve Irwin. Stanley calls to talk about his "walk abouts" in different parts of the world. Stanley always has an adventure along the way. After Steve's death (RIP), Stanley devoted his life to killing all of the stingrays in the world, but got bored with it after a couple of weeks. Tune in to hear Stanley's lastest "walk about".
