In 1991, Trevor Berbick went to the UWFI in Japan to fight Nobuhiko Takada in a “boxer vs. wrestler” bout.
Berbick had been double-crossed, he had expected the fight to be like American kickboxing, but it turned out that the rules allowed Takada to kick Berbick below the belt. Berbick refused to mount any offense, instead repeatedly complaining to the referee as Takada kicked him repeatedly in the legs. Takada claimed victory by default when Berbick exited the ring.

Sorry if your not into the whole combat sports thing… this is a tad brutal. I was searching through my old shots & found that this is my most popular photo having 3,762 hits on flickr. Not bad eh? The guy in the white TapouT shorts is Ross Pearson… curently on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ reality TV show… check it out on Virgin1 Sunday night at 11pm - UK vs the USA - well worth a watch! I’m going with Mr. Smyth to another event on Saturday, hoping for some shots to rival this… Can’t wait!
Got an e-mail today from ‘Fighters Only’ Magazine - they were asking of they could use this photo in next months edition! Not bad eh?!??
Think this’ll be my third published magazine photo…
Thats ‘defo sprouts’ got to justify a camera upgrade right?
