Untitled
editI have removed the following:
Mr. Alexio had a "BRILLIANT" career and will be remembered as THE BEST Heavyweight and Super Heavyweight FCR fighter in the world for years to come.
Alexio's only "Confirmed" loss was to another former IKF World Champion, Don the Dragon Wilson in a light heavyweight match for the World Kickboxing Association's [WKA] world title. The fight was televised on NBC Sports World and was a contraversial loss for Alexio since many felt the decision was unjust. Shortly after this match Alexio moved up in weight to fight and win world titles at the Cruiser and Heavyweight divisions.
His other "Questioned" loss was also a contraversial one against Stan"The Man"Longinidis in Australia in a "Leg Kick" rules bout. In the bout, Longinidis won on a first round TKO after Alexio's leg was broken (spiral fracture) following a leg kick from Longinidis. Alexio disputed the fight and said the fracture was caused by twisting his leg on the depression in the ring floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu1lbRfdQfY Alexio had home video footage of his inspection of the ring. During the inspection Alexio stepped on the exact spot that his leg was broken in and told the promoter to have the low spot repaired. Due to this the International Sport Karate Association [ISKA] ruled the fight a no contest. A rematch was discussed but money to sponsor the fight was never raised. This does nothing to tarnish this man's outstanding career. Dennis Alexio is truly a legend of the sport of kickboxing.
It is not in an encyclopediac tone, and is the author's opinion only. I have seen the Alexio-Longinedes fight and it is clearly simply a case of Dennis not knowing how to leg-check. But out of charity to his fans I've mentioned the existence of the "controversy" and no more.
PKA.com and IKF.com
editIKF.com no longer exists and the PKA.com is apparently now owned by a greek fraternity. I am removing the section that mentions Alexio appears on both of their lists of greatest fighters. Machine Man (talk) 12:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Record Notably Absent
editFor a guy with a listed record of 70-2, there really ought to be at least some sort of record in this article. But several Google searches have yielded nothing. If others know where to look, by all means, pass along the information. Machine Man (talk) 12:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
