Oh, then reply to this it'll help you out. No, Ron, I don't have a farm, which is why betting a farm is not a big loss for me. |

I'm just not much of a betting man Engin. It seems every time I bet on something it loses.  |

James,
I bet on you winning the Nationals right from the begining ... so I know what you mean !!! I thought your were a sure thing... not that I want you to think that your performance was not stellar it was... I just had that much faith in you ....luckily it was only 5 bucks... I really broke even though because I bet 5 bucks on you with your tony picoli match and won 5 bucks.
never the less Brzenk is a sound bet and Travis is a credible bet

Engin, when I asked Travis, last weekend, if he was going to go to Zloty. He said that after the Worlds Igor invited him and that he, Igor, would pay for Travis' expenses ( I was present for the conversation ). Recently Travis spoke to Igor and Igor told him that once he got to Poland he would reimurse Travis. I don't know if Travis would accept that.
Maybe Travis can post on here and clear this up. I think it would be great for Igor to invite the top North Americans!!!!!

I think there is no such thing as a sure thing and betting always involves unseen risk…so leave a little something left for food Engin.! But from what I have seen and know about peoples perception of size and strength and the realization of performance I think the guys that you mention have a very good history to compete successfully and place better than most would give them credit for against these European powerhouses. I mentioned going to Poland to Travis months ago…Since that time excitement on going has faded and I also agree with you Engin. I will not go alone …for one it wouldn’t be any fun secondly I would want some support from some key teammates …Ron, Matt, and Travis would definitely fit that bill. But to answer your question if I would go right now… I say no. After thinking more about it I think my new focus should be to get these same guys together to pull in the unified WAF in Japan 2005. It would be my first WAF pulling right handed and would be a much easier and more exciting event for all to participate in…plus at my age I don’t have the desire to go out of my way to seek out the best half way across the world…defend I will, but not going to go to far out of my way...to get hurt!....  So…One year from now… 2005 Japan…be there. |

Christian. You’re going to Zolty with Marcio?
Engin,
At this stage of my life any time I step up to the table against a formidable competitor there is the worry and chance of pulling harder than my current ability.
Just don’t care to do this anymore without good reason.
Testing or no testing wasn’t my concern just that Japan may be better all things considered.
As far as different weight classes go. I would hope they would have a overall Super match similar to the one they had in 99.
Yes, video does exist Andrew…I gave my original copy away to Charlie Minell.
Maybe you can ask him to place it on his site for you.
