Hi Andy

I understand your point totally and i thank you for the compliment on the job we have been doing so far.
In your division thats probably what you eould have to do as the thais pretty much dominate and its difficult to break into the top 10
In the cruiser weight division there are actually only 18 ranked fighters at the moment in the top 20 so as marlon and andrei have had so many fights accross various sports and been extremely successful i have submitted there records to the HQ in thailand and wrote a letter which has had to be passed by the committee in Thailand, this took over 3 weeks to do and had to be sent out to ensure there were no objections from that division, both fighters are officially ranked based on their fighting history it will be updated soon.

Although the fighters have fought mainly k1 etc it would be pointless start them off at national level as they are already fighting on glory the worlds biggest k1 style stage, the same way some top thai fighters like yourself get opportunties at the highest level in k1 bouts as there would be not point putting you in at the beginning because your already a top fighter

A lot of fighters in this division tend not to fight thai rules as much as the rewards arent as great and they can get more money without being elbowed in k1 thats why the division has gaps however if by giving the guys in the heavier weights opportunities to fight for the likes of a wbc title then it could hopefully see more famous fighters in the heavier divisions like your Hunts and maybe one day your saki's, hari's etc who knows we will try our best as a fight series.

Opportunities like this in your division are difficult to come by so i do understand your frustration but please dont take this as an insult as you are without doubt one of the best fighters outside thailand in the world at your weight.
Although this may not make you feel any better about it i hope it clears it up a little bit.

I do hope the british public dont turn this into a slanging job get right behind marlon and support him as he is great professional athlete and proud to be representing the uk in Malta.

Any further questions please feel free to text/call me or email/inbox on facebook as sometimes things get Misunderstood on Ax to say the least. I Andy very well and i know your question was of genuine interest to find out how the title ahot came about.
Speak soon mate all my details below and All the best for the new year to you and the lads at blackwidow :)
