Snoop Dog and Mike Tyson

The House of Blues hosted an EA games event Monday night, June 22nd, to celebrate the release of its newest title: Fight Night Round 4. The latest installment in EA’s Fight Night series is yet another example of the incredible depth and realism of their boxing franchise. With the support of the powerful next-gen platform, the Xbox-360, FNR4 gave those in attendance the adrenalin-infused excitement of a real boxing match spectacle when celebrities Mike Tyson and Snoop Dog flexed their gaming skills against one another.

Tyson attended the event with his youngest daughter and new wife, and Snoop’s son was also in attendance. Attendees also had a chance to experience “Fight Night Round 4,” which players can enjoy at home or with friends on Xbox LIVE.

Although everyone had the chance to get a hand on FNR4 at the kiosks set up, the game’s presence was truly felt in the bout between Mike Tyson and Snoop Dogg. What would follow would be an epic four round brawl between these two media giants. Each hook, fall, and blood splatter drove the crowd into fits of cheers, boos, and laughter.
