First things first, many thanks to Dave for taking time out of his training to speak with us. I contemplated whether or not to redo the interview. My camera doesn’t have an external mic so the sound is incredibly faint. I’m looking for new camera as you read this.
I should have known better then to try to do the interview in such a noisy place.I highly recommend that you listen to the interview with headphones, you should be able to work out what David is saying. He’s rather soft spoken and it’s difficult at times to hear what he’s saying. I was thinking about transcribing but as you’ll see the interview runs 20+ min. For those of you who can’t access veoh (gusnark) you can download the interview here.
If any of you are around this weekend, he’ll be fighting Cedric Muller this Sunday evening at York Hall in Bethnal Green.
Thanks guys for all your questions, hopefully next time around I’ll have a new camera (with external mic).

Great interview (from what I could actually hear…hehehe). I wouldn’t mind a do over because I couldn’t hear the answer to the first question about his bio but I understand how awkward it would be to go up to him and be like “Say, would u mind redoing the interview and repeatin verbatim everything u’ve said b4….word for word….cuz my microphone was bought at a swap meet, and it seems that ur students just had to jump rope RIGHT NEXT TO US ?????”…..lol.
THank you for doin this, NOP. David seems like a very down to earth person.
Are u goin to be filmin his fight this Sunday?…Just askin’.
I hope everyone heard his answer to the “no regret” comment…..maybe it will shut up some of those losers in the other forums.

I think all I heard was the thick jump rope hitting the mat. I heard Nop more than David. Nice try anyways! David seems like a very nice guy. Maybe some training footage?…

That was cool. I’m sure the tech side of things will get better. David seemed like a pretty regular guy, which is good.
thanks nop.

Thanx Nop, you’re the man.
I will try to edit the audio… don’t expect a magical results since the source isn’t good. Will let you know if the results will come out good or crappy (more realistic).

Hey guys…..I just got finished episode 6 again (David vs Dhzabar) and I am still utterly disgusted with the decision. Watch at the end of the 4th round when one of Dhzabar is telling him that he “has” to KO David to win. Everyone with some sense knows wut it means. Sorry I hate to beat a dead horse but this has to be one of the worst decision in history (not too far behind is Yod vs Souwer…lol)
