The one-time admittedly juiced Bash Brother had only warning-track power in the ring. He staggered former child star Danny Bonaduce with a couple of big blows in Saturday night’s three-round fight but failed to deliver the knockout punch, and the celebrity boxing match ended in a deflating majority draw.

 ”There’s no reason I should have done this well,” said Bonaduce, his nose bloodied. “Part of me says there’s a decent man right there that didn’t want to kill the little guy. I feel weird that we tied.”

The 6-foot-4 Canseco jolted the 5-6 Bonaduce a couple of times in Round 1 and a couple more in Round 3. Bonaduce, who played Danny Partridge on the “The Partridge Family,” never went down. Bonaduce predicted he would be knocked out, only to hang in there and land a few body blows on the hulking Canseco.

Canseco seemed like he was doing the one thing he never did to American League pitchers – take it easy on him. Canseco did more serious damage when his grand slam dented the centerfield camera in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.

“For a guy my size to hit him like that and he didn’t go down, wow,” Canseco said. “If he were my size, he probably would have knocked me out of the ring.”
