Erik Skoglund: An Arctic Wind Blows Down From Vardinge-The Viking Krigare of Nykoping

Has the General been kidnapped or something? Ain't heard a peep outta him for the last few days.

Nonetheless gotta worry a little about Skoglund having managed only a close decision over UK County level prospect Luke Blackledge (annihilated in 1 rnd by fellow Lancashire OKish prospect Rocky Fielding who has already been introduced to you by CST80). And that on home territory.

 

To be fair Blackledge is a step above 'county level' which if I'm honest I've never heard of. Also worth noting again, the Fielding fight is hardly anything to gauge him on, he took at 2 days notice,was on the biggest show of his life (Froch - Groves 1) whereas Fielding had fought countless times on big shows - Luke was beyond nervous, and messed up as a result.Since then he's recorded 3 wins on the bounce & is firmly back in the domestic scene.Also worth pointing out when Blackledge fought Mads Larsen he put him away in 4rds - not a 'county level fighter'.

 

That lasts 3 rounds...tops

 

He'll look good on King Artur's resume :good
