ok lucy. here is my response.

i like mark and am thrilled that he won the grand prix. i believe he has improved in areas such as creating his own chances to attack rather than waiting around. he has also started working the body. just because i admire his improvements in some areas doesn't mean i'm going to turn a blind eye to his weaknesses which are:
1] he runs out of gas.
2] he takes a while to load up. if fighters start looking for it they'll really make his life hell.

these two weaknesses stem from his ever expanding posterior.

i agree that he shouldn't torture himself to make weight. he should eat right.

short notice? last minute fill in? he was the main event and was advertised as such on the k-1 web site on jan 7th. the magazines probably published the line up the week before, say the 3rd. i can only assume mark knew about the fight before that. i find the short notice excuse a little hard to believe but the short preparation looks very possible.

would you call it heart. in a mismatch like this, i'd call it pride.

"AND he does know about this board, he even knows where Oliver and Felix live! LOL"

we can run a lot faster scared than he can angry any day.
