Joe is a tough kid but Melvin has more muscle packed on that frame than anyone else I've seen. Melvin is just so athletic overall. I have to go with Melvin in what should be a great fight. Joe has a heart as big as this country.

Thanks,

Sensei Tom

Sensei Tom, I don't know the names any longer but it sounds great. I'm on spring break at a condo in North Carolina, so I'll see if I can work this into my plan.

[Sensei Tom OBrien]

I can't wait. There are some good fights on this card.

Thanks, Sensei Tom

I really didn't think that Joe was gonna beat melvin. He dominated from the start he hit Melvin with a strong jab that knocked Melvin out of his game plan. The rest is history. I'm glad Joe won.

Thanks,

Sensei Tom, thanks for the complete rundown.

[KyleM]

Definately glad that Joe won, that was a classic and i saw it coming, Melvin is way too cocky, Joe had that fight mentally before he even got in the ring

[Sensei Tom OBrien]

I am sorry to say that Melvin tested positive for cocaine after the fight with Joe.

I think it is important that people know what Melvin did. Here is a new sport they are trying to get accepted into mainstream sports and someone comes along and does something like use cocain to give MMA a black eye. Maybe this is why Joe was able to beat him so quickly and easily. I can't believe someone of Melvin's caliber would go and do something like that. I hate to say it but I think they should come down hard on Melvin because this infant sport is struggling to be acceptred by the public and they can't afford this kind of publicity, it can only hurt the image.
