MA: I wanted to ask you about your wrestling career. You actually had a full scholarship to wrestle for Delaware State University. Can you talk about what you learned from wrestling all over the world? I have done Greco and wrestled at 182 pounds. I wrestled on the national and world levels. I went to Japan to wrestle and I was an All-American wrestler. It gave me my strength, my core strength and because of wrestling, it made me strong. When I box against guys heavier than me or my weight, they all say how strong I am. MA: Thomas Longacre talks about his 50 fight experience vs. your 25 fights. But he is not talking about how you competed in Kick-boxing and wrestling. I dont want to give too much credit, but he hasnt fought like I have. I have over 300 wrestling matches. I have fought all over the world. I wrestled in Greco Roman in Japan. MA: He also says that you are stepping up in competition against him. Do you feel he is putting a lot of pressure on himself? Yeah, I know he has a MMA gym and has a good MMA following in his area, but this is boxing not MMA. I know what my competition has been, but I did it to help me grow in experience, to build my confidence. I started boxing at 23 so I had to build myself up. continued: http://ringsidereport.com/?p=7682
Ive spent years wondering why George “Comanche Boy” Tahdooahnippah hasnt stepped up and settled this debate. Now he's put MMA in it's place I can breath a sigh of relife
