Super League, Rotterdam Rocked
Finally back home after an amazing trip. One of the best trips I have ever been on, all the fighters were really good blokes and the Super League crew were very professional but at the same time were always there to help if we needed anything. On the night of the fights not one fight was bad, the technique shown by some of the fighters was very impressive and one mistake and someone would be getting knocked out.
As for my fight went, I busted my ankle early in the second round on Amrani's elbow. After that I couldn't put as much power behind my kicks as I wanted to and just had to try and fight without showing any pain. No excuses from me though, Amrani fought great and he stuck to his game plan. He moved well and used the whole ring. I blocked most of his punches but he stayed busy racking up the points. I learnt a lot as anyone does from a lose and cant wait to get back into the gym and start training again so I can redeem my self on the next show.
Here is a bunch of pictures I took over the week I was in Holland.
If you get a chance to buy this show on DVD it would be money well spent. Every fight was great and non-stop action from start to finish.
Thank you Super League for giving me the chance to be part of something great.
Hope you enjoy the Pics

This guy was trouble, just joking. Peter was a legend inside and out side the ring. Hm and his little Brother Reece were top blokes. Glade I finally got a chance to meet and watch Peter fight

Dmitry, how good is this guy. 187cm tall has got to be a slight advantage. I missed his fight but cant wait to see it on the DVD

Had the chance to meet another Axer in Rotterdam, but unsure of the spelling of the name. Don't want to spell it just in case I say the wrong one

Ole (not looking to handsome in this photo), JWP, Fadi Merza and Chopper. After the photo Ole, Choppa, Shuki, Richard Walsh and myself went into Amsterdam. Only had a few hours to hang out together before they had to go to the airport. We almost got into a fight with a street preformer who wanted money after Ole video taped him. Told us he was going to break all our Australian legs. Funny shit

We run into this place by accident. I can remember Ryan Simson used to wear Susies Saloon T-shirts when he fought in Thailand. I asked the guy behind the bar but he didn't know. Half way through our beer he come back after ringing the boss and said "yes, they did sponsor him". The beer worked well there

Picture perfect. Amsterdam was like talking a step back in time. A very beautiful city. You would be eating lunch then next minute a horse and carrige would come cruising past, amazing.
Hope you like the pics. Not much action but good memories for me.

Toffe serie Dirk! Mooi stuk (inmiddels historie) kerel!
2003 is alweer 9 jaar geleden peter smith leefde nog alles wauw wat gaat de tijd verschikkelijk snel
zeker een leuk stukje om terug te lezen
helemaal omdat het de vechter zijn eigen ervaring is en wat die legende uit kangaroo land allemaal over nederland te vertellen heb is maakt het extra speciaal
