Brent Urban (l) and Coach John Lawson.

He actually started training at the gym, just to get into shape and lose weight. But then he felt the hunger for the ring and was offered a chance to fight professionally. He won his first fight with a third round knockout, and then lost two in a row. This temporarily made him wonder if he really wanted to continue the fight game. But since that fight, he has won seven in a row, with four knockouts. His opponents have ranged from 189 all the way up to 240 pounds. Size doesn’t seem to matter to this fighter.

From his first fight to where he is now, Brent said he has gained a lot of confidence, and that he is more relaxed and patient in the ring. According to him, things have seemed to slow down in the ring, unlike his punches to his opponents. He said, “the way he feels now, he will be hard to beat”.

He will be stepping out of his native Texas, to fight his second fight in California. The previous fight he had in California was against a true heavyweight named Chris Davis, which he won by unanimous decision. Saturday, August 28, 2010, he will be facing Jason Douglas 7-3-2 (3 KO’s), of Kitchner, Ontario, Canada. He will be stepping into the ring, a strong and fit 190 pounds, and he plans on pushing the pace and taking over any over-confidence of his opponent, who is coming into this fight with a loss may have. The Canadian better be ready, because the “Oak Cliff Ghost” is predicting a third round knockout.
