By Thomas Gerbasi - David Branch never laced up the gloves as a pro boxer, but he knows a little something about fighting as a mixed martial artist who has four UFC fights to his name as well as a nice winning streak going in the World Series of Fighting promotion. So when he sat down to talk to his older brother Sechew Powell about the fight game, the former junior middleweight title challenger listened.
“In the fight game,” said Branch, “there are two types of people. There are people who ride the line of comfort and there are people who ride the blade. The line of comfort is in your chair watching a man fight his heart out and you have the luxury to critique it and say what you see. But the blade was that man in the ring, underneath the hot lights, putting on an exhibition for all to see.”

“I’ve made a decision to ride the blade,” he said. “This is my life and so I’m open to criticism and I understand that people are gonna have their opinions. I take it with a grain of salt and I don’t let it beat me up too much when people give a negative critique.” [Click Here To Read More]
