Pat stood by the end of the bar and watched the dance floor darken, feeling as much as hearing the music increase in volume. A greater number of bodies soaked up the sound, so the DJ had to turn up the decibels accordingly. Continue reading

So, what’s been going on since we spoke last ?
Since the last interview, I’ve had 2 fights. The first was in Bangkok at the IFMA 2015 Royal World Cup. I drew a Russian, Nadir Ishakov. A very lanky southpaw – your typical nightmare fight. He was about a foot taller; it was horrible! Continue reading
