Tired of getting thrown under the bus by critics, German filmmaker Uwe Boll is fighting back - literally. Boll, who took offense to the overwhelming bashing that his latest film BloodRayne took at the hands of critics, decided that enough was enough and he challenged the would be pundits to a three round boxing match to settle things.

Internet casino GoldenPalace.com, known for their unique marketing ploys, came on board and "Raging Boll" was born. Four matches are scheduled for September 23rd in Vancouver with a fifth match planned for Spain. The fights will be filmed for, you guessed it, an upcoming Boll project.

No word on the undercard, but I would pay anything to see Kevin Smith get into the ring with Joel Siegel.
