“He comes from a good camp; the kickboxing scene in Canada is strong, I know that,” Algeo said, beginning his assessment of Nelson and the way things tend to go inside the cage. “It’s good, it’s tough, it’s durable; he lost to some guys, he beat some guys, but I don’t see anything spectacular from him, to be honest with you.
“I’m pretty durable too, so basically it can cancel out, and then it’s who’s more skilled? Who is the most refined? Who makes better decisions that night? Who is the best athlete? Anything could happen that night, but who made better decisions? Who had a better game plan and who actually followed it?
Come Saturday night, the plan is for him to be the answer to all those essential questions – for him to put on another entertaining performance, hop on the mic and drop in another pro wrestling promo to wrap up a successful road trip to the New Coast. Jersey.
But if it doesn’t, that’s okay too, because life is good for Algeo, and he’s going to have fun no matter what.
“It’s a dream of mine and I’m doing well, which makes the dream even better, but I have other things in place in my life and I’m happy all around,” he said with a smile. “Family, business, everything is going well, so it’s just the icing on the cake, and the icing just keeps getting heavier and heavier and thicker and sweeter and sweeter, with nuggets.”
