FIGHT! 'Goldrush' weigh-in news and notes

FIGHT! held testosterone fuelled weigh-ins earlier today in front of some 1400 fans. The big story was the soon to be decided destination of the Middleweight Title - KO artist Dane Kinsley is the firm favourite to bring home the gold and glory.

Dane Kinsley [185lbs] vs Chizuko Kowashi [180lbs]

Stephen Greer [266lbs] vs Jamtsangiin Daisetin [265lbs]

Julius Rembrandt [170lbs] vs Kyle McIntosh [170lbs]

Jeremy Brown [183lbs] vs Damian Cruise [175lbs]

Jason Mercer [170lbs] vs William 'The Wookie' Wilson [171lbs]

Rahm Petersen [156lbs] vs Del Canada [155lbs]

- Stephen Greer got the biggest reaction of the night. His pro-wrestling experience garnering him immediate superstar reaction, though not all of it positive. Greer ignored the offered handshake during his staredown and didn't stop 'chatting'.

- Dane Kinsley looked in great shape. His opponent, Kowashi was much larger than we last saw. The two seemed ready to go, Kowashi was particularly eager. Kinsley looked confident.

- Damian Cruise should really look to stay off the pasta and cut down to 170lbs which looks a much more suitable weight. Jeremy Brown looked in good shape and incredibly focussed during the staredown.

- 'The Wookie' looked a little bloated around the edges.

- Rahm Petersen looked a solid 156lbs and looked to get under his opponents skin. Del Canada wasn't taking the bait and shrugged it off.



Some choice bets for you:

At +225 Chizuko Kowashi might be a good bet, his wrestling could be enough to neutralise Kinsley's emphatic striking.

Jason Mercer is well worth his -280 favourite status after seeing 'The Wookie'.

Steer clear of betting anything on Stephen Greer. 'The King Of Pain' has seen his odds swing after a surge in [probably uneducated] bets to a ridiculous -300.

FIGHT! For their Lives weigh-in news and notes

The FIGHT! Weigh-ins were held earlier today, followed by a short Q&A with FIGHT! Promoter, Jake Morgan. Some 1000 fans turned up to the weigh-ins which overall had a good atmosphere and positive reaction.

Michael Cross [260lbs] vs Oleg Maksimov [242lbs]

Jason Mercer [170lbs] vs Kyle McIntosh [170lbs]

Aaldert Daaf [205lbs] vs Grant Prosser [206lbs]

Dane 'Banger' Kinsley [180lbs] [JPN] vs Jeremy Brown [185lbs]

Chizuko Kowashi [177lbs] vs Damian Cruise [175lbs]

Aramis Vasquez [155lbs] vs Rahm Petersen [156lbs]

- The match between Kowashi and Cruise would seem to be the battle of the undersized Middleweights, neither man coming in anywhere near the maximum weight. You can add Dane Kinsley to that as well.

- Dutchman Aaldert Daaf looked incredibly lean, but might have trouble coping with the much thicker looking Prosser in their match. The pair shook hands and showed mutual respect after the token staredown.

- Michael Cross looked very soft for his match with Oleg Maksimov.

- Jason Mercer tried his best to get in the face of Kyle McIntosh but his opponent wasn’t having any of it. Mercer soon got the crowd on his back with his antics and this could well be the fight of the night. McIntosh simply nodded and smiled as Mercer got up close and personal.

- Vasquez/Petersen had some intensity as well with Petersen in particular looking ready to fight there and then.

-Stephen Greer, former FURY PRO combatant and one time professional wrestler was seen in attendance.

- Jake Morgan refused to confirm reports that a show will be held on May 24th, saying that the company was still exploring possibilities. He also stated that FIGHT! were looking to bring in the best fighters in the world, available or not.
