Representing Team GriffonRawl is Tom Doverspike many of you do not know who Tom is. He has trained privately on a weekly basis for the the last two years and he is making his amatuer kickboxing debut also on the card and making his amatuer debut is Silas Maynard. He will be cornered by top GR fighter & Coach Ben "Thundercat" Parks and GR Boxing Coach Ken Curtis because both Jason and Mike will be in Rockford, Illinois with Donny for his fight against Jeff Curran at KOTC the very same weekend. Please come out and show your support for Tom. With the rapid growth of NAAFS MMA in 06’ the series has decided to venture into amateur kickboxing and has set up a trial show for this January 20th in Akron, Ohio at the Chaparrell's Community Center. “NAAFS kickboxing will allow fighters to work on their striking and gain valuable experience in the ring” said NAAFS spokesman Jake Digman. “We have many of the MMA guys crossing over to fine tune their stand up and get ready for the 2007 MMA season. We have also opened up a new avenue for many of the kick boxers in this region who do not often get a chance to compete. We feel this will eventually grow into something similar to the NAAFS MMA series.”There are currently ten bouts scheduled for the January 20th event with several familiar names to NAAFS followers including 2006 NAAFS welterweight Champion “Smokin” Joe Heiland and NAAFS heavyweight Dominic Qurazzo.
