WHY DOES HE HAVE A PRO CARD?

??

I know it took him 20yrs...but where is the shape?size?conditioning?

but damn - conditioning? people he knows?? he never set foot on a pro-stage - I trained with him for masters Olympia but he backed out and trains to stare at ass that he cant get cause 18yr olds dont go for him cause he 'just has a nice car and house' --

matter of fact he competed at the USAs when Chic won the overall -- Chic help us out

anyway WHY DID HE TURN PRO - USA 2000 Middleweight Champ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

by the looks of the pics.................... ......maybe he uses his hand as well as the mouth

maybe the male shocker - everyones fav

Spike · « **Reply #6 on:** November 17, 2006, 07:30:14 PM »

Chic those pics are from 2000 - I know you did the 2002 my mistake

BUT why did he get his card as a middle in 2000??
I know he knows the 'right peps' and the thing in Gboro that scarred some peps

I have seen his 2002 pics but why the need to go back as a lightheav and win it again??

take a year off and go to the pro-stage - he was already 40yr old

The Squadfather · « **Reply #7 on:** November 17, 2006, 07:32:20 PM »

i remember that show in 2000 was the first time i'd ever seen Branch Warren i think he finished third, it looked like someone sliced his legs with a sword, monster seperation.

Chick · « **Reply #8 on:** November 17, 2006, 07:33:22 PM »

Bro...

I made no mistake.

Mike earned his pro card at the 2002 Nationals winning the lightheavies.

He didn't get his pro card at the 2000 USA...Only Yours truly and Tevita Aholahi (sp) won them...

gotcha - thanks for not callin me an idiot
just thought those middleweight pics were iffy compared to Stan and Prince

Thanks for the quick response Chic

only 2 cards are given out then

Chick · « **Reply #10 on:** November 17, 2006, 07:40:49 PM »

Yes, only 2 cards at the USA...Overall and a second pro card to the second place to the Overall

National weight class winners win their respective cards...

No problem...remember, there are no stupid questions...only stupid people!
