james graham asked me to post to sort out what's happening r.e me, aaron, gordon smith, andy thrasher etc. I apologise if it comes over a little defensively. I agreed to fight aaron on james show at the same time as fighting andy was first mooted. Having had several fights pulled this year, i agreed to both matches. I have only pulled out of james' because a)i could offer a credible replacement - gordon smith, who everybody knows is an able fighter and a hell of a tough lad, and b) i'm injured. If i hadn't had gordon's support i would still have fought. It would, like aaron, be his first full rules fight. I am still fighting on pele's because i would not ask any of my students to step up to the level of andy thrasher. As i understand it, aaron has been suffering badly from cold/flu, so gordon has been matched with jamie henderson. I realise there maybe some people questioning my judgement on taking two fights in such close proximity, however full rules muay thai is a different beast, with a greater selection of strategies and weapons than b or c class. I have fought injured before, as most fighters will have done at some stage. Anybody who knows our fighters and our camp will know that i do not treat this sport lightly, and it is with regret that i have withdrawn from james show. If anybody feels they need to speak to me about this, i'll see you at the show. peace.
