KOTB Interview with Guy Mourtneant

Editorial by

We had the pleasure to interview our two KOTB 11 main event fighters before they're big title fight on Saturday night. 

Hey Guy, thanks for joining us between sessions at Bomb Squad Las Vegas, how are things going up there?

Things are good. Training hard, staying in shape. Getting ready for title defense against monsieur Milne.

Did you get a chance to show off that new belt? How’s it feel being called champ?

Oui, bien sûr, it's a nice belt and I enjoy nice things. And being called le champion... well, I've earned it. It wasn't an easy fight against Lungu, a man twice my size... but I've won, I've earned it, and no one can say I didn't.

What’s your outlook on your first challenger? You’ve been pretty quiet on him, but he’s been working hard and moving up the ranks since KOTB 2.

Oh, I've been silencieuse because I don't know much about him. I've seen his last fight at KOTB 6 and it looked impressive but pretty obvious. My trainers who were scouting him and preparing me for the fight told me that he's a professional wrestler from TWGC, so the fight should be at least interesting. Il n'en reste pas moins I feel pretty confident that I can win this.
 
Is there any significance for you in this fight, in terms of it being France vs. England?

Bah oui! *laughs* Avignon was never conquered by Englishman and by God! no Son of Venaissin will ever yield to Englishman!

You’ve been crushing everyone with your dominating clinch presence, but your only career loss was to a similarly styled wrestler-boxer, any changes to your strategy coming in that you’re willing to divulge?
 
Oh yes, Scottie Pippen was a dirty boxer and standup grappler just like me... only bigger and stronger. And of course I'll try to surprise my fans in the attendance, you know I was primarily a wrestler turned boxer and monsieur Milne may be shocked to see I'm quite resourceful on the ground, as well. Hell, I might even take the fight to the ground myself... or not. I really can't say anything about the tactics I will use in the cage, Monsieur Bennet forbid me to.

Thanks, Guy, good luck on Saturday night. 

Merci et ca m'a fait plaisir.
