Guys I think I owe everyone an apology "perhaps I should be called Mike Lightning Mouth Angove"- absolutely no disrespect intended to the great fighters we do have. I seems I am a bit removed from the coalface of late and am being too bit big headed. I'd like also to say that all of the guys I've been talking about have fought better fighters and achieved more than I ever have or will do.

I am a bit of an opinionated prat at times - and can sometimes lead with my mouth rather than my brain. But I do it from a passion for the sport - not to be a tosser I do think we are a very strong KB nation but in terms of world class level - I wonder where the next group are coming from... which is what I unsuccessfully was trying to say...

Rexy - that report wasn't biased it was based on what I and other fight commentators have seen of the fighters involved. The article was also edited pretty heavily, with only profiles put in none of the lead up and none of the summary paragraphs for each fighter so it was a bit of a different article than I sent by the time it went to print.

Also Dave - is an A Class / World class fighter no question - but I wonder how he'll go at a heavier weight - I think I wrote - the least favoured fighter to draw first up in the tournament. But Jason Suttie has prooved everyone wrong I his going up in weight so Dave could do it too.
