Fcf Staffers On Howard Stern Show



FCF Staffers on Howard Stern Show

Derek Panza gives Tim Lane a victory ride at Battle On Braodway
Fans of the Howard Stern show were treated to a humorous half hour early Tuesday morning as FCF’s own Mouth of NHB and Derek Panza called in to discuss an upcoming boxing match. The proposed match, between Stern show regulars "Stuttering" John Melendez and "Crazy Cabby", will take place in about a month in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The Mouth and Derek [a champion kickboxer as well as trainer of champions – pictured giving Tim Lane a victory ride after Lane won the USKBA Super Lightweight World Championship belt] are training John for the match against the rotund Cabbie. FCF’s dynamic duo called in to discuss John’s training and his chances against his much larger opponent.

While they only have a few weeks to work with John, after seeing a tape of Cabby’s last fight (vs. "Angry Black" – another Stern show regular) and observing John in the gym, the pair feel confident in John’s chances… so confident in fact that The Mouth offered to bet infamous bloated barrister Dominic Barbara $50,000 (Barbara was offering 3-1 odds up to that point). After some hemming and hawing, Barbara refused. Apparently losing confidence in what he felt was an easy money bet on Cabby, he even began to rethink his offer of odds on his other bets when he heard about John’s training. The Mouth then asked Howard if he’d allow him in on some of his action, Stern replied that he might just let cover some of the $10,000 he’d already bet with Barbara.

The Mouth and Derek may be back on the show in the near future to discuss John’s progress, we’ll keep you posted as things develop.

We got off to a great start in our first production in January, and worked very hard to make this show even better. The card is full and we feel like the fans are in for an even more excitement this time! The Main Event for the FFC Lightweight Championship, features new Team Extreme member Rich "No Love" Clementi against Rob Baer. Rob Baer is coming off of a tough loss to Din Thomas and is looking to get himself back into the thick of things in the lightweight division. He is planning on bringing his "A" game because Rich Clementi has been training with Team Extreme Members, Jens Pulver, Matt Hughes, and Pat Miletich.

Also on the card, is local crowd favorite Dave Benefield. Benefield, a light heavyweight, is coming off a great performance in the Dungal Submission Fighting Championships in Houston Texas last weekend has a tough match waiting for him in Robert Waite.
