Can take a punch and knows how to give one. Great GP opponent-very promising boxer. A great guy to work out with.

Built, strong, tough, fun. Got a good match in and would definitely do it again!

Wow.. um... Sparky is one of the toughest wrestlers I've ever fought. Extremely strong arms, skillful wrestlers, yet methodological and careful with his opponents. Even by toning it down or by giving me chances, Sparky always had the last word and was always able to slip out of any of my holds. His arms are so strong that I can only find myself defending in order to delay my eventual defeat.

If you are a beginner, Sparky is ideal for you because you can learn a LOT from him and he'll watch out for you so that you don't get hurt. If you are an expert, he'll make you look like a beginner :) by making you tap after tap after TAP!

Regardless, I would definitely wrestle him again! :)

NorthNotts was a great host and tough opponent with lots of different holds up his sleeve to lock you into, especially with his powerful legs! Nice guy, was quick & easy to arrange a match which was fun & safe. Worth meeting if you get a chance.

Great meet and match with this feisty lightweight guy. We wrestled for an hour and he took a lot of effort to get him to submit. He is determined and likes to get a good head hold to disable you. A really decent down to esrth guy and good company between bouts. Definitely recommend.

Atonman was over from Italy on a short wrestling holiday and an event was set up on Meetfighters so that anyone on the website could sign up to wrestle with him - so Atonman was basically taking on any challnger who turned up - pretty brave of him I think. Not the first time he has come to UK and done that though. I was one of a dozen or so that came along, and Atonman warmly welcomed each us as we arrived and started to strip to our trunks. I think all of us had fought at least one round with Atonman by the end of the afternoon, some several rounds. I fought only one round with Atonman, although I did fight a number of the others as well. When my turn came I was soon overpowered by Atonmans superior strength and skill. I think he got three submissions from me in the three minute round. If I remember correctly two of these were from choke holds round my neck which is not something I have often had to defend against since for the basic wrestling I have done we have mostly agreed not to use chokes, but I guess there is no harm in including chokes as long as the victim is released immediately when he taps. Someone later gave me a tip to defend against chokes, put your hand up to your cheek as if you are picking up a phone, do this just before he chokes you then your forearm will be between your nexk and the arm he is using to choke you, havent yet had time to practice that though! Others gave Atonman a much harder time than I did - Atonman must have fought a lot of rounds by the end of the afternoon and I think he won most of them.

Un encuentro interesante con un rival fuerte y motivado, dos horas de lucha en una buena tarde. Un luchador interesante con ganas de competir.
Gracias por tu visita!

ich hatte letzten Sonnabend ein heisses Match gegen Stringringer.Er ist ein Leichtgewicht und dennoch sehr stark.Er brachte mich an den Rand einer Niederlage.
Es sah auch so aus als hätte er mich im Griff und war knapp davor mich wehrlos zu machen und zu besiegen.Erst zum Ende des Matches gelang es mir ihn dann doch zu überwältigen.ich hoffe und wünsche mir eine Wiederholung

So viel kleiner als ich ist "kleiner Kerl" nicht, so dass der Kampf lange recht ausgeglichen war. Anfangs konnte ich dominieren, aber dann kam ich nicht mehr aus seiner Umklammerung heraus und mußte aufgeben. Ein toller Kampf. Ich habe "kleiner Kerl" dann nochmal herausgefordert und dachte ich hätte eine neue Chance, hatte ihn wieder auf dem Boden fixiert, aber ich war so unaufmerksam, dass er wieder frei kam. Nach zähem Ringen mußte ich mich wieder geschlagen geben. Diesen spannenden Kampf hätte ich gern nochmal wiederholt.

Great match with a great guy. Iowa is a strong guy with good stamina. We had a lot of give and take with some sub holds thrown in during the match. Good ab and pec punches thrown in during the match as well. It was a hot and sweaty muscle on muscle action match. If you get the opportunity to meet up with Iowa, do so. You won't be disappointed.
