    Jack Dempsey is Americana, like Joe Louis.

    Hey McVey, can I get your kids name so I can look up his record on sherdog? You said he's a regular MMA fighter, cage fighting.

    Let me know, want to see the record. :good

    *Awaits "I'm not telling you my kids name" post*

    His name is Spencer and he doesnt fight MMA, he fights unlicensed,cage ,warehouse , back room? No rules .Purse around £1000 - £1,500, depending on the venue .About your size I should think .
    6' 2 1/2", 208-212lbs,[ he's dropped weight], not as good as his old man but larger :hey. No Randy Couture , but pretty good.
    Lost his first fight ,too green, broken wrist, has won his other 15.
    Injuries in NHB take a toll, but trains every day, and does not juice, started out at 15, as a muscle poser, like yourself,after boxing and judo ,as a kid.
    Send us your address, and I will send you the details for his next scrap.:lol:

    Russell is like a dog worrying a bone, he comes back periodically to keep things going.I had let it go, but he won't.I am responding, not initiating.I should have thought a PM would have been more in keeping but, " C'est La Vie".

    I expect some of his former boxers will be dead by then as well .
    As you age you find yourself attending more and more funerals.
    I seem to go to around one a month , all the more depressing because it is your generation being laid to rest.
