Nice post Stevie:
You drove your point home.
One thing I need to correct you on is your comment:
IKF RESPONSE;
YOUR MISSING THE POINT HERE "STILL". "WHO, OTHER THAN THE PROMOTERS OF THE LONGINIDIS VS ALEXIO FIGHT, HAS OFFERED DENNIS A FIGHT IN THE LAST 5 YEARS ON AN EVENT NOT IN HAWAII... LET US ANSWER FOR YOU,,, "NO ONE!"
Actually Nasser Niavaroni (uppercut promotions) promoted Dennis vs. Roger Achillo on May 1, 1998 in Sacramento California.
This is a dead thread.
You either loved or hated Dennis. He was a great kickboxer, showman (talked allot of crap) & great for the sport (kinda the Mohammad Ali of kickboxing).
Dennis won't get in the ring again unless he gets mucho $$$$$$. I don't see anyone risking that kind of money on a 40+ year old who hasn't fought in 4 years. So I think you have seen the last of Alexio.
I do think it would be benificial to the sport if his IKF title would be vacated (somehow, up to you Steve to figure that one out) so we can get some new blood fighting for that title & add some more excitement to the sport.
You gotta admit that Alexio was the BEST businessman/kickboxer we have seen yet. As Stevie put it:
DENNIS "DID THIS". HE PROMOTED AS MANY AS 4-6 TIMES A YEAR IN HAWAII, BUT NO ONE EVER OFFERED HIM A BOUT. IT WAS ALWAYS, "PAY ME TO FIGHT ON YOUR SHOW DENNIS". AFTER "SEVERAL" YEARS OF DOING THIS, HE JUST GOT TIRED OF DOING IT...ANYONE WOULD. DENNIS PROMOTED HIS OWN EVENTS MORE THAN "ANY" CHAMPION WE KNOW OF PAST OR PRESENT.
