Notable Quotes
Promoter, Jimbo Stevenson: The original main event was Rodney Moore against Carl “Kojcak” Handy, Rodney pulled out with an injury, so I got Thomas Reid. Kojack (Carl Handy) then said that Reid was too tough to fight again. So I called up Etienne Whitaker from Ohio and told him I had Thomas Reid lined up for him on the bayou, he said “lets do it”. I think we ended up with a better main event then we started with.
Rafael Pedro: I need to get out of here, I am getting to excited.
Blake Prevost: I came out of the Marines and got a lot of calls to go other places, but I decided to stay in my home state to try to make a name for myself.
John Stutes, Sr.: I’ve worked with Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosely, but I think I have my best prospect is right here (Prevost).
