Jack Burton enters GAMMA"s HOF

Fighter profile of Jack Burton by Mentor Guru Corleone

Jack Burton (17865) has become the first fighter in GAMMA's history to enter the Hall of Fame while still an active fighter.

Jack joined GAMMA, WAY back in GAMMA #19 on the 2009-07-30. His first ever fight was against Cameron Hagans which he lost to decision.

Over his long and illustrious career he has had a rediculous amount of Fight of the night awards (total of 18). His best ever streak was from 2011-05-14 till 2011-10-22 when he went on a 6 fight win streak. Unfortunately for him, that streak ended with a loss to Alan Bundy for the title.

Jack had fought for the title a total of 5 times (most in GAMMA's history). In all cases he came out the loser, which makes Jack the best ever fighter in GAMMA's long history to never hold a title.

What is most impressive about Jack is the fact that he is not technically a 170lbs fighter! He walks around at 160lbs and he can cut down to below 145lbs. He usually fights people which are 20 to 25lbs larger!

Jack has a total of 25-16-0, with 40 of those being inside GAMMA. He currently leads the total fights listing for GAMMA, just ahead of Raz Matazz which is in 2nd place with 36 fights currently.

Jack is currently on a 5 fight losing streak (easilly his worse ever streak) and at 34 years of age, he is probably coming towards the end of his career. BUT, Jack will always be remembered as one of the most reliable and humble fighters GAMMA has ever had.
