Cindy-O,
"I guess Rico, Dr. Joesph, ACF staff and Wes Sims weren't big fat liars after all:-)
KMA, Mace:-)
Cindy"
Show me one post where I suggested anyone was lying? In fact, I made several posts that said I arrive at no judgment.
I have shown you several posts of your own where it is quite apparent you have drawn conclusions, and have an agenda.
Please explain Cindy-0.
"pain killers are far worse than weed"
Daren, you have uncanny timing. LOL
'Cortizone isn't an addictive pain killer. It doesn't get you high and dependent like opiates do.'
True mojo, but I don't think anyone is accusing him of being addicted to a high (unless he was addicted to other types, I have no clue), but there are many athletes who become addicted to cortizone-type painkillers simply for the pain relief. It doesn't mean he was addicted in the sense of other drugs, but he could certainly have been physically addicted to them.
Anyway, guys everyone has a different opinion about the guy and about the situation. I personally think it sucks the way it went down, but I can also see how it sucks for fans of his to see this happening. In the end, all we have is a guy whose life is pretty messed up right now, and that's way more important than any arguments goiung on here. So let's remember that and not get too heated with each other.

"Mark made his point and I am behind his decision 110%. Like I've said, I had front row tickets so I should be bitchin if anyone is. I was glad to hear his side of the story straight from his mouth. He's always been straight up and honest...no reason not to believe his story. All the haters need to relax. Unless you fight with the same injury and you have had a painkiller addiction then keep your mouth shut. If the ACF doesn't have a problem either, then neither should you guys....settle down and cut the guy a fuckin break. "

Following a pre-fight physical on May 6, the Colorado Office of Boxing denied Mark Kerr (Pictures) medical clearance for that evening's American Championship Fighting main event versus Wes Sims (Pictures), the commission's Director, Josef Mason, told Sherdog.com Tuesday afternoon.
According to Mason, the medical examination showed ligament damage to Kerr's right hand, which the heavyweight said he injured while training Tuesday before the fight.
The commission's account differs from what Kerr told "Beatdown" Radio Monday evening, when "The Smashing Machine" insinuated the physician who discovered the injury had left open an option for him to compete. After heeding the doctor's advice, Kerr indicated he chose to remove himself from the card.
Ken Pishna, ACF's Director of MMA Relations, confirmed Kerr's assertion that the ACF was notified by Wednesday of the injury. Kerr told "Beatdown," however, that he did not express the full scope of the injury to the Colorado-based promotion.
Pending clearance from an orthopedic hand surgeon and Colorado's Office of Boxing, Kerr, who was scheduled to fight on American soil for the first time since 1997, is under medical suspension and prohibited from competing.
Right there proves it. I think Kerr was trying to actually make the ACF look good on the Beatdown show by covering up a few things that the ACF is coming out and telling the truth on. So there you have it
"lied that docs wouldn't clear him to fight."
Read above dickhole.
True true...
All of a sudden, no sign of CindyO, GirlJock, or SNOW GORILLA....
"So Kerr was lying on the Beatdown show apparently. These guys need to get together and figure out their story. One thing for sure, Kerr will never fight again. "
What? He's fighting for them in July. He has a 1 year contract with them.
You're a bad troll man. Seriously.
ttt for Kerr
"The doctor gave Kerr an option and he chose not to complete. The doctor's statement doesn't conflict with that."
Yes it does dude. The commission would not allow him to compete and he is on medical suspension until cleared by a hand specialist
Gorilla, you need to work on your reading comprehension man, seriously.
I sense some anger here....
Where did you go Cindy-O?
"What? He's fighting for them in July. He has a 1 year contract with them."
Not unless he is cleared by the commission who have him on suspension right now.
^^^^
Law Dog is correct. Mark said he hopes to fight in July, but he will need to get medical clearance.
So I read the Westword Article that Ray was pratically masturbating over...and hmm what a surprise, NOT ONE WORD about this mystery E-mail.
It seems that Ray is so full of shit that his hearing and vision must be going. That's okay because it gives him another excuse to duck a fight again.
Ray and Kerr should start their own MMA company called the FDL
Fight Duckers League
HSFT...
