I earned a small fortune last year :D Paid for my wedding :p

There is def a need for us journeymen as long as we can defend ourselves! Its def not right though if you are getting KO'd. You need to lose sensibly like me hahaha

ive taken on last min fighters sumtimes for small money, im happy to fight cona on a show if he wants to fight i was gona fight him before but dont know what happend

sooner or later one of these guys getting regularly ko'd is gonna die. No doubt in my mind this is just a matter of time

promoters should be ashamed, how can you sleep at night.

just to edit I have no problem with Journeymen essential part of combat sports really and people are quick to point at boxing. But the things is people don't get knocked out 2 or 3 times a month in boxing

Honestly I have loads of respect for anyone who steps in a cage but I heard a horrifying story about a fighter waking up from a coma(from a KO in a previous show), taking a fight on about a days notice and then getting brutally KO'd in 9 seconds again. To add to that he rode his motorbike almost instantly after waking up.

Still I love that there's guys out there who would take any fight on short notice to save events. There's way too many drop outs on local shows it seems.

pretty sure you rode a motorbike home after a tko Mike didn't you?

^ I think that's the story that Apollo is referring to however I find it difficult to believe someone who was in a coma would go back fighting at all let alone on a days notice, however I suppose it isn't impossible, some people are idiots.

Only once a few hours after a tko not:-

Waking up from a coma(from a KO in a previous show), taking a fight on about a days notice and then getting brutally KO'd in 9 seconds again.

Totally different, and whilst still not advisable, exagerated like most stories about me are!
