A little over a week in, and Kaos Kolle if progressing perfectly. I’ve spoken with both he and one of his trainers and they both seem quite optimistic on his healing and getting back in to ring shape. Kolle is just ready to get back in the ring and hit somebody. So far its been pads and bag work. The real test will come in sparring and those crazy elbows.

Dustin Mason has been given clearance to start punching in two weeks. When I spoke with him yesterday, he was excited to get back to dropping bombs. For now, he is gearing up his road work and conditioning and is right on track to be ready by mid to late September.
Al Sands (4,1) has been added to S.E.G.’s August 25 show. We have been told that most of the card is now matched. They are in the process of finding a fight for Sands, so look for him on the undercard of a very nice show featuring Aaron Green (6,0), Ismail Muwendo (9,0) among others.
Late September shows and several October shows to be announced in the coming days and weeks.
Honestly cant wait for these two to get back in action. Kolle coming off of his most impressive boxing display (doing so with only his right for 7 and a half rounds and fighting with a significant weight disadvantage, Kolle was prepared for a 154 pound fight ended up fighting a 164).
And everybody loves the red headed bomber. Fighting below 130 and throwing bombs like a full fledged middle. Things are about to get fun…
