Episode 3 of Fannin’s Flashbacks is LIVE! On this episode, Jim sits down with multiple times over former IWA Midsouth Light Heavyweight champion American Kickboxer. Despite knowing each other for close to 30 years, this podcast & leading up to the recording is the most Jim & AKB have ever talked. They start the conversation with Kickboxer’s start in the business, his training, meeting Les Thatcher, proper training, starting in IWA Midsouth, the Tarek/Kickboxer matches actually being the draw for Jim & his friends to make the trip from Lexington every week and listen to Kickboxer actually make Jim speechless for the first time in his life with an answer about acknowledging what happened in IWA and having gratitude for it. All that & so much more this week on Fannin’s Flashbacks!
