I see all the fighters on the under card are all undefeated. I hope that they'll be fighting worthy opponents and not just journeymen with losing records.

I put my guys in good matchups. Sure, sometimes you have a fallout and last-minute replacements typically aren't that good, but I've always taken the position with my guys that it's better for them to take a loss or 2 early in their careers when it doesnt matter, than to be built up to 25-0 and havent fought anyone. Besides, I need to know NOW whether they can fight or not, rather than finding that out 15 fights from now after I have $50 grand or better invested in them and they only fought dummies.

I just dont subscribe to the philosophy that you get a guy a world title, and THEN you "develop" him. A world champion should be able to take on all-comers, and not use these "he's young, he's still developing" bull**** lines..........

Two thumbs up to you then, my friend. That way of thinking (build them up, then find out if they can take a real challenge) seems to be more of the norm than the exception, so my hats off to you. Best of luck on your show!

BTW... I didn't see anywhere you could watch it, other than live?

correct. It's just a club show. No tv. However I will probably send GoFightLive.com a DVD afterwards like I did for my March 5 show so people can see the fights for free if they want.
