Karl is still a few fights away from that level at the minute. His pro record is still only 1-0-0

In most cases I would agree with you John, that usually after only one pro fight you should not be fighting for a belt. Although in this case I would make an exception, the reason being that in his first pro fight Karl won a title against a much more experienced guy. Then to add to this in his last amateur fight less than a year ago he fought and KO'd a guy who at the minute is ranked number 10 in the UK. I think this would be a good fight, but just a suggestion

Great fight card btw, looks like another great show!

And a great suggestion it was too

I personally think that Karl is probably the best raw potential talent in Ireland today. That's why it's important not to rush him, and move forward at a steady pace. It was one of the things that we considered carefully when I signed Karl a few months ago. He is one of those guys who if he applies himself might just go all the way

I think I do have him matched for this card, just waiting on bout agreements being returned!!

Jeff "The Snowman" Monson to fight for CC LHW strap



Quote:
MMA legend Jeff “The Snowman” Monson will compete for the Cage Contender Light Heavyweight Title in Dublin, Ireland on 21st July 2012 against a yet unnamed opponent.

Cage Contender announced Monson through their twitter account late on Sunday afternoon in a move that nobody saw coming. Monson, one of the biggest names in the world of MMA, has a record that reads like a who’s who of the worlds best heavyweight fighters, with wins over superstars such as former UFC Champion Ricco Rodriguez and Roy “Big Country” Nelson. Only months ago Monson lost a decision to arguably the greatest heavyweight of all time, Fedor........ READ MORE

Yeah, he decided he didn't want to fight. From what I hear he is concentrating more on weights and stuff now rather than fighting.

I see he did that before a few years back and focus on strong men competitions. After he won a few of those he came back to MMA .

More importantly who have you lined up??or in typical fashion are we going to have to play the JF waiting/guessing game???
