First I'm going to start with my boxing career. I had a pretty decent amateur career 32-6. I won the Golden Gloves 3 times, Diamond Gloves 3 times, State Championship 3 times. I won in a tournament USA(NJ) vs. Eng.(Jersey). I did alot of traveling sparring contenders at the time Bobby Czyz, Shannon Briggs, Maurice Harris, Imamu Mayfield, Ray Mercer, Jameel McCline, Howard Davis Jr.; I'm from Newark but trained in Hillside, NJ.
My Uncle and brother trained me; and a great team of boxers. Our team always did well and we were one of New Jersey's top teams. I had 3 professional fights. I won 2 and lost one(Boxrec didn't put my record correctly) because I had bad management that wasn't concerned with me and I was getting robbed; I tried to sit out my contract and eventually retired in frustration.
Now, to my videogame experience. I have been playing videogames most of my life; nearly all genres. I'm a huge RPG and Sports gaming fan. I was real happy when companies started making boxing games. I played nearly all of them. I was very interested in these games and once I realize they had sites and forums for some of these games I became a active member.
I was really active with the Knockout Kings series and the different transitions before the Fight Night series existence. I posted on the EA site before it really was a thing and became popular. I left the EA site to become a major poster on the IGN Knockout Kings and then Fight Night series boards. I helped boost the Knockout Kings/Fight Night fan base with my ideas and suggestions they made more fans get involved.
I was/am involved in a couple of podcast where we boosted Fight Night's fan base. One show had mixed subjects that me and PRGuy did together, later Indigo72 came on to join us. Then, there was the Fight Night Wishlist podcast with Indigo72(Anthony Lynn), Reignmaka, and me. I did a few with support from good friend Papinosis.
I started posting back and forth on the EA and IGN forums when news came about a new game. I caught the attention of one of EA's Community Manager's who made me a EA Fight Night Community Leader and(Senior) Moderator. My dissatisfaction and outspoken nature got me excused as a Moderator. I still carry the honorary title of Community Leader because of my passion.
