Former World Champion Steve Collins is....

Joe.Boxer - Yeah mate him. The way he lied to my face was a disgrace. After the fight I went up to him and said ''What the ****, the guys an ex British K-1 champ, you told me I was against a debutant who was just a few years older and shitting himself'' and he was just trying to tell me anything I wanted to here because he could tell I was close to kicking off. I'd have KO'd him. I sent him a text saying basically saying look Steve you should be ashamed not me and me and my brother will never go to one of your events again. He text me back trying to say he wasn't to blame etc. but it's just his usual ****. A few mates I hadn't seen in ages came and it looked as though I got batterd off an old grandad (guy was 43). I was on the phone to a guy called James Watling who was a world class kick-boxer + is a huge boxing fan and was nearly in my corner. He said it was the worst mismatch he's ever heard of and is basically the same as putting a debutant kick-boxer against Julias Francis.

 

The guy's name was Mark Greener. I heard he used to spar Skelton and fought on 1 or 2 of his undercards but wasn't as good. Skelton was a very good kick-boxer in his day though and only lost about 8 times out of about 75 and held the IKF world title too. The guy's been retired a few years and came back earlier this year I think. As for the MMA match the guy I'll be fighting is someone my trainer knows.

This is the video of it.

 

Cheers mate haha . I felt I did ok at making him miss and I could have probably gotton away with some of these mistakes against somebody else of no expierience but you are right about the leaving my chin in the air and I also should have tied him up when my back was against the ropes, I've been practicing a technique I saw Benard Hopkins do of keeping a tennis ball squashed between your chin and your chest to work on that. I actually got up from this and fought on but he did stop me about 40 seconds later.

I'll have the chin checkers on my case now. atsch

 

Cheers mate, lesson learned in and out of the ring this time. You can't trust many promoters in this sport even if they appear friendly.

 

On the up - I'm guessing you've never boxed before, no dought you'll say you have but in reality you won't have. Tell me, how old is Hopkins, Dan Henderson and V.Klitschko ? how old was George Foreman, Randy Couture when they won their titles. How old was Matt Skelton (an ex K-1 fighter) when he won the European title? These are all fighters competeing at a high level post 40 never mind against a teenager going into their first fight. The guy I fought was a big puncher. He was past his peak but so what.

I'll give you the promoters number if you think he's easy money, or better yet how about one between me and you.
