As co-promoter I'd just like to confirm the fact that UNLEASHED is neither the home show for Qas nor anyone else in the USKA Team with the exception of Lee. Qas has appeared on our three shows to date and we sincerely hope that we will appear on show 4 (and beyond) but that is not a given. Neil has shown us tremendous support by making Qas and the team available to us but we like every other promoter have to come up with the right deal to secure the fights.

It's true that our venue is only 35 miles from the USKA camp but so are Wolverhampton, Walsall, Solihull, Matlock and Derby - ALL venues where I believe Qas to have fought locally.

On the subject of Wayne Rodriguez, my first experience of Wayne was on show 2 where we were very impressed with his officiating. This in turn leading to our expressly seeking his return to referee event 3. Based on this weekends performance would we ask him back? Apologies to anyone who disagrees but categorically YES and without reservation. I appreciate that there were one or two instances relating to allegedly early stoppages but that merely reflects the IKF's safety policy on Amateurs and I for one endorse anything that keeps fighters safe.
