sounds like a great card
i actually train outta tucson
and ill be 18 in a few months. Ive been training for a few years and i wanna have my first amateur fight pretty soon after i turn 18 which is mid november. Do you know how i would go about doing that
as far as promotions and stuff goes?
Pretty easy just click Here and then click on the fighter info tab, get the medicals done with the proper paper work and shoot John (JPet) your email address on here
And if you go to a gym here in Tucson someone from the gym would have some experience in getting fights for fighter's out of their gym more then likely
Thanks Justin - your advice is right on !
Here's some of the important stuff without having to go to the web site.
5 required meds and they will be valid through Dec 31, 2010 to fight on multiple occasions.

Don't run the Tiger's Pit but I am one of the instructors and the loud mouth that corners the fighter's
They all call me Evil there
ohh ok well thanks for the help...i appreciatte it
No worries, I was once in the same situation and didn't even have a gym I was training at before sending Roland a email and then showing up the next event after doing so
Good to see Carlos is fighting again John
Hi everyone... i miss you.

18 is a little old to start fighting by AZ standards..... Edwin Dewees and Joe Riggs were all in RITC by 14.. J/k good luck
We have a 13 year old we have game checked a few times, I would put money on him taking that rookie on half pint brawlers
RUSRedDevil - the good old days when we didn't have a Commission to deal with. Edwin choked out a guy in 53 seconds and the guy complained about the stoppage. Edwin just said "we can do it again ... TONIGHT". The second time that night it took Edwin 73 seconds to choke him out AND this time he tapped : )
Darrell - speaking of the "old days". Seems like I haven't seen you around in years. Are you still alive ? Do you still have your motorcycle ? Have you given up on your "farewell tour" : ) ?
Cade - should I try to add more bouts : ) ?

TTT
I remember the first RITC I went to seeing Edwin fight twice in a night at the wildcat house, good times
