[Hitman]

What about Nugget/Josh Sexton, Rising Promotions and Songchai.. or the countless others who put on quality promotions.

Might put on the best "shows" but not the best fight cards the FANS want..

Granted he has done a LOT for the sport, but people now want to see quality matched fights for the whole card..not just a headline match with a weak undercard. This last batch of A1 has seen a few more names in there but will it continue...

You've got to give credit where credit is due. Tarik has put on some great shows and has been one of the most influential promoters for Kickboxing in Australia. He hasn't done much lately but as I said, credit where it's due.

At the moment though the team @ Rising Promotions and Nugget/Josh's shows are setting the benchmark.

70% improvement, his getting there

[Hitman]

The fireworks.. the performances.. fighters like zambidis? nezif? ozkan? kara murat? headhunter? the guys the best not doubt.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

I'll give you a non bias, non aussie opinion. I think the best shows in Aussie ever are the Evolution shows and the Explosion shows. Evo have guys like, JWP, Soren, Carnage, Preacher, Wazza, TS2, Chris White, Dane Noi, Shaggy, Pixie, Arslan, the best Thai's and the list goes on and on and on. The Explosion have the same fighters plus guys from Japan, Russia and all over the place...has more of an international flavour to it. The ring girls for Evo are OMG as well....going by pictures anyway.

Tarik has done some great things but now Josh, Nugget and Ray have over taken him.

Well that's my 2 cents. Probably means nothing since im not Aussie.

Tarik has done some great shows in Australia and is doing some good shows in Turkey at the moment, he has promoted kickboxing which is a different style to the other shows which I still like. My favourite shows in Australia today are Xplosion & Nuggets & Josh shows and Jabout is doing some great shows as well...

where is Mr. Solak? He is a bit slak! I haven't seen his show for a while. I am not disagreeing with you, but where is he? Has he left Australia to do better thing? Would love to see his show again.

<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle> Thats not a nice thing to wish upon a fighter, I would never want a fighter to end up in hospital u<img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>.

What a hero you are, hoping someone ends up seriously hurt. Tough guy.

[Hitman]

ok i hope he looses badly :) hows that sound??

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

[wheels]

That sounds better Mr Hitman:)
& yes Mr Solak is the Man.

[Kiwi Sting]

Good luck to everyone involved.

Hitman, thats horrible to say about two guys in the ring!!! Actually a noble sport needs noble supporters not nasty minded thugs.

Hopefully Michael Jackson doesnt play with you so much that you end up in hospital either!
