I would like to say that KOTC has issued a NC for the Buddy Clinton vs. Shonie Carter fight. We have been working with Corey Fisher from the start on this issue and he has been very cooperative in getting this resolved. There are a lot of factors in getting a NC issued on the fight, its not as easy as just issueing it. A lot of paperwork with the Atheltic Commission, etc. Corey and KOTC have been working on this from day one and finaly got it done. I would like to thank Corey and KOTC for making it right. I would like to thank all the members for their support. KOTC did the right thing, everyone has misunderstandings and its the way you resolve them that counts, Corey and KOTC did it the right way, and they have my support for that.
Buddy is scheduled for fight in Cleveland OH, which is a PPV show on Feb 25th. I will be there to support him, and you guys can support him as well by getting the PPV or if you live near Cleveland come over and hang out with us.
Thank you again for all your support and thank you KOTC for doing the right thing.
Royce, good luck on the 31st against Akebono. Have you been doing anyghing different to train for Akebono? Have you been training with Sumo wrestlers or big guys? Thanks in advance.
Is it true that you gave out the Black belts in order of most deserving so that Hawk got his before Buddy or is it because at Hawks advanced age you were unsure if he could hold out long enough to get his belt?
Also is it true that Buddy overwhelmed the people he tested with due to his exssive use of Axe.
