ATTENTION! There was an error when we posted the date of our upcoming Silverbacks XIX show; we had the date listed as the 23rd of August, when it should have been the 13th of August. Our apologies for any confusion this may have caused!
After an unexpected, and believe us, unwelcome hiatus, the Silverbacks are up and moving again, with a new event coming up! We apologize for our disappearance, but politicians will be politicians; we've got everything ironed out, and we shouldn't be having any further problems.
Our next show, Silverbacks XIX, will be held at Player's Lounge in Canton, Illinois on August 13th. As of right now, the show's start time is 7pm, with advance ticket prices at $15 for general admission and $20 for ringside. At the door, the prices will be $20 for general admission and $25 for ringside. Tickets are available at Shandi's Music & More in Canton (309-647-9403), Viano's in Norris (309-647-6705), Player's Lounge in Canton (309-647-0984), and through Phil Johns (309-647-2599).
In the main event, the Silverbacks' own Phil Johns will battle it out with Antoine "Rage" Skinner in no-holds-barred action. Further details concerning the card will be posted as things are ironed out.
We have slots open for both amateur and pro competitors, so if you're a fighter and are interested in competing, please e-mail us with your contact info (name, phone number, height, weight, record, & experience) at nhb@silverbacksvaletudo.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
sd jones I'm not talking talking shit about phil as a fighter and if you read my last post on the john/skinner thread you would know that. who are you anyway?
NHB26..hey have we met? I worked out at Scott's a few times and became friends with Brian Baptiste and a couple of the other guys. Not sure how long you have been there. It's been awhile.
Sd jones who the fuck are you anyway, wait your nobody! Phil can fight til he's 50 and I wouldn't care, I'm just rooting for skinner and not phil. I do respect Phil as a fighter and his accomplishments, hell I respect everyone who gets in the ring. I never said for anyone not to fight in phil's shows. All I meant by the promoter commit was that he did a few of Wards guys wrong a few years ago. As far as me saying phil is overlooking skinner, I would say that is true. I think he feels this is a warmup fight for franca. I don't believe skinner is a warmup for anyone. As far as the tapping commit, that came out of Pearsons mouth. He trains with the best team in the world in my mind and can catch just about everyone there. As far as taking up for my teammate, that's what teammates do. I guess you didn't know that. Sd jones why don't you stop trying to instigate shit and go back to work.
