I've not heard of it until now but I tend to think that the best doormen probably wont enter this type of competition.

Interestingly in his autobiography, Mr T says that it was when Stallone saw him win the TV competition "Americas toughest bouncer" that he offered him the part of Clubber Lang in Rocky 3.

Rocky 3 led on to him being cast as BA Baracas in the A Team.

This event is receiving alot of bad press I think mainly for the way its been marketed. Good idea but I think it should be held under MMA rules rather than boxing.

I think its a good idea but maybe it should have been a lot bigger, each area having fight offs and the best man from each area going through to a fight off in manchester trouble with this type of competition is some proffessional bouncers/ part time are also professional/ amatier boxers/mma/other martial artists/etc,etc and some will not be able to enter due to proffessional misconduct.

Good luck to the organisers if the borough councils took of the dark glasses they might be able to see the bigger picture far better for young men to sort out there problems in the ring with their fists under rules than on the street with blades, guns, etc, maybe some of our finest bouncers can lead the youth back to real stand up toe to toe qualities.
