Go ahead, old-timer, you REP-RE-SENT!!! I have some news, I will post after Randy's big fight on HBO broadcasts.
Knock out the young guy Randy, that's how we roll...
;)

Just to be clear, Randy's fight won't be on HBO. Only Taylor/Ouma and the co-feature, Miguel Figueroa/Andre Berto will be telecast. But ringside seats are still available through Ticketmaster for only $650. See you there, in my dreams.

Just got a text from Randy, he said it was a good fight, pretty even as he saw it, but he lost the decision.
Congrats on your effort, and for getting on the big show.

Zack, What's the news that you have to post about HBO Broadcasts? Please don't keep us waiting any longer.

Actually it is not about the HBO broadcasts, I wrote that poorly. I had some drama going on about me fighting Albert Kraus in Amsterdam, Holland this month, and I was going to write a short ditty explaining it. But when I came on to write it, I saw the post about Randy's fight, and I did not want to take any attention away from him or the fight.

If you follow this link it will explain it, but basically I was going to fight Albert Kraus for his World Title, and we were negotiating, but my team decided to pass until this spring sometime to give me time to heal. This all happened about three weeks ago, in November. Then the official fight poster was posted on another website last week, and it still had my name on it as Kraus' opponent. I did not want to be scapegoated as an American that backed out at the last moment, and at the same time, the guy that was setting it all up, David Cummings, was wondering what the heck I was doing...as I had told him I was passing on the fight. I communicated with Steve Fossum about it as well, and he posted there on my behalf, as he knows my character, and I appreciate his help and input greatly. It all kind of worked out in the last day or two, and I hope to be fighting Kraus in the spring.

Albert Kraus is about as bad as they come right now in Thai/K-1 rules, so I have my work cut out for me. But I like to be the giantkiller, and hope to make this happen again. I will keep the board posted as this fight develops, and again, sorry about the misleading earlier post.
