    Yes they should. It sets them up for a country title and then national. If you follow the route then you can get somewhere in your career. Fighters who try to jump levels have erratic careers. Fight domestically then European then international. Find your level and every now and again venture up to see if you can chase greatness or fufil your dreams.

    Absolutely, I totally agree.
    It is better to progress step by step than to take giant leaps and bypass certain levels. You may be fortunate to get to the top level, but it is the wealth of experience and education that you acquire on the way up which will play a critical factor in whether you stay there or not.

    yes, especially when you have fighters like Limmond and Barret that should be fighting for them claiming they are in world title fights.
