‘The Grappler’ Jack Gallagher has spoken with BWP Admin about his forthcoming PWI:BWP World Catchweight Match against current reigning & defending Champion The Babyface Pitbull at BWP Denbigh Town Hall Brawl III on Saturday 24th September 2011.

“Going into the match I’d say I have the advantage. Pitbull is bigger and stronger than me, that is for certain. However, I believe my style and my conditioning are superior in this environment.

I’ve been trained with pinfalls and submissions constantly considered in both my takedown and submission strategies, where as the champion’s style is obviously more settled into submission grappling. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen the suplexes and the trips and the tackles, but once he’s on the ground it becomes a BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) style of attack which means there’s little consideration of rolling to your back in a submission attempt, leaving him open to be pinned. If you said our submissions skills are balanced (I wouldn’t, but let’s imagine you, the reader, are saying that) you’d still have to concede that our pinning skills are not.

Also, the rules of the match are well suited to me due to them being, essentially, two out of three falls. Being the lighter man means that my muscles have to carry less weight and do not burn through as much fuel as Babyface’s. An extended match will favour me, because I know I will not tire and I’m certain that the walking muscle that is my opponent will.

The only disadvantages I see are the champions weight, due to him obviously being in a completely different weight class to myself; and the possible knockout, although this isn’t a boxing match so there’s a slim chance, if any, of it happening. In future, when I’m defending the title, I will expect opponents to cut weight before a match in order to make it a much more fair competition; nothing too drastic, but just enough to where the odds aren’t obviously stacked in someones favour.

It will be a good match and I’ll do my best to exhibit my skills, not only for the fans, but for the Babyfaced Pitbull, because I want his last title defence to be an enjoyable one.”
