I took a couple of fighters (Super Charge and Rebel) to Australia (Melbourne). During the flight, super charge said that he felt uncomfortable up high on his left thigh. He thought it must have been hard training a week earlier and just tried to blocked it out.

Anyway, when we got there, the promoter picked us up. On the way to our hotel, he almost ran over a couple of people who swored at us and calling us names. He was a maniac driver. We stopped over a shopping center. Well...not exactly. This lady was just about reversing to this parking space, but this guy rushed in, stole her parking spot from behind her, hopped off the car and rushed into the shop, leaving us to copped all the flaks from this lady. Understandbly, she was really pissed. She was threating to get her husband to come out and shoot us. Rebel, Supercharge and myself just set quietly in the car. She was absolutely right. I half opened my mouth but she was too histericles and because supercharge and myself are colour, out come the racists remarks. I thought I better just shut up and let it come out of her system. We had only known this guy for about 10 minutes, and already we almost got killed twice. We also wanted to kill him also...LOL!

Anyway, it didn't stopped there. After we settled in the hotel, we went for a workout at Stan "The Man's gym. After the light workout, supercharge could hardly walked. We as Dana (Stan's coach)if he know a doctor. We went to this docotor and found out that supercharge had a really bad abscess. They took pints of fluid instantly. Here is our situation. We got there, contract and everything were all secured this is only a day before the event. I was totally against it, but supercharged still wanted to fight. The day of the fight, supercharge felt a lot better since the fluid was taken out, but also had to take antibiotics. We had our plan. Give it everything he's got in the first round and if he gets tired, I would throw in the towel. If that wasn't enough, the opponent just happened to be Ian "Power House" Jacob. That's just great. LOL! The fight went on, the two had good punches/kicks exchanged. Supercharge got Ian with a good shot but Ian kept coming back and eventually got supercharge with a short right hand. Supercharge stayed down and the fight was stopped. After that, Rebel had a good battle with Darryn Hedgecock but his left shin split open, from blocking Darry's hard low kicks. I had to stopped that fight and almost argue with Rebel over it fight in the ring...LOL! When we got out from the changing room, I had to spent the next half hour arguing with the promoter as he was going to pay us cheque. LOL! Eventually we got our cash and found our way back. That same promoter had rang me a couple more times to bring fighters to his show but I didn't bother to answer his call. In fact, I don't think any one else from NZ took any fighters to his shows after that.
