I was suprised that he had himself rated a 2..pretty honest guy..lol. He has a helluva punch..no defense and virtually every fight he has been involved in has been short,violent and action packed. He is a cocky guy...but he's alright. He used to bounce at a club in Pikeville KY..I think he lives in Missouri now..not for sure. He told me a couple of his friends in the game played TBCB..didnt give me names. I bet most fighters would like the game.

I bet we would all be surprised at how honest some of these folks are in assessing their own talents like your friend seems to be. My first contact with Mike Rodgers was when he emailed me. I had done a rating of him at HW which he had downloaded. Embarrassingly, I had rated him as a free-swinging, no-defense high 1. He actually agreed and was even more critical of his skills than I was. His only complaint was that he should have been rated as a cruiser (which was correct). He and I exchanged a few emails and worked out a cruiser rating. Great fun, but also interesting to see how dispassionate and honest he could be about his own skills. He's a great gut and hope he drops in again sometime although he is pretty busy trying to get his music career moving. (Great country western singer too - some guys get all the talent
