Mikhail Caldwell
"...It Ain't Over Yet....."​
By Jim McCurdy

DETROIT - Mikhail Caldwell tapped the floor and then his shins. The same sound reverberated from both places. It wasn???t rubbery.???Mikhail???s got legs of granite, said Mark Jones, an amateur fighter who trains with Caldwell in Detroit.

Granite legs and granite will in the ring. Caldwell, however, hasn???t followed the same path other acclaimed fighters have. In fact, he has his own motives that move him between the ropes. What began as boxing career eventually spawned into a kickboxing trade and then elevated itself to other forms of fighting. Muay Thai, included.

???Muay Thai was the way to go,??? Caldwell, 40, said. ???It was real for me. It was a real way to fight. I still believe today it???s the most standup way to fight.??? In other words, bye bye boxing. It???s time to move on to Muay Thai.

Some might say it wasn???t long after he became a celebrated fighter in the traditional sense that Caldwell elected to turn his interests otherwise.

His website tells the story: 19-0 as a boxer with 16 knockouts 45-0 as a kickboxer with 44 knockouts Kickboxing middleweight champion of the world ???All I want to do now is make history,??? said Caldwell, also an award-winning musician who once thought he???d become the next Jimi Hendrix.

???I want to hold three belts at the same time.??? Currently, he holds the 147-pound title. He has designs to claim the 154 and 160 titles and hold all three simultaneously, all the while still leaving himself open to other forms of fighting. He???s also begun his role as a trainer, working with other young fighters including 22-year-old TaDarius Thomas and 26-year-old Mike Maynard, both of the Metro Detroit area.

With Jones, an up-and-comer who used to dabble in football, basketball and track in Grosse Pointe, part of the Team Advantage squad, as Caldwell coined his fighters, one thing is certain: Motor City Melees just took on new meaning. Of course, Tommie Hearns is arguably the most prized fighter to come out of Detroit. Caldwell claims to have close ties with the Motor City Cobra. Jones recalls a time when Caldwell and Hearns met in the ring, the story filtering its way through the Team Advantage pipeline.

???Tommie said, If you kick me, I???ll shoot you,??? Jones said laughing. ???He was scared of Mikhail.??? Jones, who after renewing his Boxing USA certification was offered a fight in New York on March 1???. At 25, he is being hailed as one of the next great young Detroit fighters. But he???s had a hard time lining up opponents. ???Nobody wants to fight him,??? Caldwell said. ???They take one look at him and back off.???

That???s been frustrating for Jones, who anxiously awaited that opportunity to sit on the other side of the ring from a live body. No matter what form of fighting it is. And whatever it may be, he wants to change the way people look at fighting. ???My dream is basically to make the sport pure again,??? Jones said. ???I like to look at my event as strictly that an event, not a fight. It???s never personal. If it does get personal, that???s when you have a problem.

???When you???re in there in the ring by yourself, there???s no one you can look to. It???s up to you, the fighter, to be diligent, protect yourself and be able to grasp the concepts you are being taught. I want my career to basically be like a testing ground. I want to teach this to somebody. I have to keep the legacy going. ???Boxing is the foundation of my fight. My feet are just as good as my hands. They should blend together.

After eight months of training with Mikhail, I discovered, Man, I???m not bad at this.??? What Coach is able to do is define that gray area. He???s trying to mold me to revolutionize the sport. I???ve been plugged into the Power Plant.??? The Power Plant is Team Advantage???s nickname for Laskey Recreational Center in Detroit, where Caldwell???s clan trains.

Occasionally, Caldwell says they???ll spar with some of the fighters at the world-renown Kronk Gym in Detroit, where Hearns made a name for himself and his son is now attempting to do the same. Just as Thomas and Maynard are hoping for in their own ways. ???I just want something to be proud of. I need that,??? Maynard said.

???I know if I reach my potential, I???ll be the best. It???s a long road to get there. But when I hit people, bones break.??? Maynard has a fight scheduled for March 27 at Cobo Arena in Detroit. Thomas, an easy-going soul outside the ring, has a nonchalant magnetic personality deceptive of the way he approaches a fight.

Like the March 6 No Holds Barred rematch he lined up with Justin Bruckman in Quebec. ???It all builds up towards the fight,??? Thomas said. ???If you die, you die. The idea is to go out there and put this guy apart. He???s standing in the way of what I want. Instantly, when I go to a fight, that???s what I???m there for.??? A lot of the reason he and other Team Advantage fighters are there has to do with Caldwell.

???Training with Mikhail, his style is very unique,??? Thomas said. ???It???s the ideal style, people believe they???ll end up with, but they don???t get.??? ???My style is Mikhail???s style,??? Maynard said. ???I feel fortunate to have him as a trainer. I feel like I saved years on my career just meeting him right off the bat. Once you prove you???re tough, you???re part of the team. Once you???re a part of this team, you???re part of the family. It???s not all about being a tough bad-ass attitude around here. It???s quite the contrary. These are all great guys, loving people.??? They???ve just chosen a profession that seeks combat inside a ring. ???Fighting is so complex,??? Caldwell explained.

???You can look at it and wind up thinking you need to see a shrink. There???s always a war going on inside of me. The fighter and the artist. It???s a weird life I have. It???s a good one though. It keeps me grounded. ???I???m probably capable of extreme violence, but I???m probably the least violent person there is. I???m into peace. I realize that every victory is something that I???m just a recipient of God. Every victory is a confirmation of my faith. I believe that. The final thing is just faith, and I???ve got enough in me to win every fight.???

Raised in Cleveland by his mom and grandma after his dad deserted his family when he was 2, Caldwell never forgot the words his father told his mother before skipping town. ???You can make it if you try.??? It had a chilling tenor, especially for a kid spontaneously thrust into this role of fending for himself. Fighting seemed like a natural fit.

???I fight thinking about what my old man told my mom,??? Caldwell said, almost lamenting the memory of that day when a kid should be thinking more about when the next cartoon is on than whether or not there???ll be a television to watch it. ???He told my mom something that was the ultimate truth. I???m not gonna allow myself to lose. Somebody???s got to lose, and it ain???t gonna be me.??? You might call that a mind of granite.

This is good. Great post and nice way to honor this man. This is really nasty sad though. I didn't even notice it was an old thread and gave positive reps soon as I saw it, then read on to find out. At least I know that he got lots of friends and love here before the end. Sounds like he died doing what he loved and loved life.
 
SD truly was one of a kind. Thanks for sharing this with us. SD was very intelligent on many levels. His posts will be missed. I like watching the videos of him.

You'd have thought someone would have explained this to people BEFORE they went looking through a forum in the "Anabolic Zone" - maybe they thought "anabolic" was a term being used for the aim of creating an "anabolic" environment in the body through training and thereby creating and promoting muscle growth and mass as a result........

oh wait, if they thought that then they'd be busy training instead of asking dumbass questions.....right?

Sorry for you loss bro. I pray peace for you, his friends and family....
 
I ran my first aas cycle last year with very acceptable gains, and to my credit i was vigilant in my knowledge and overall due diligence. Then i fell prey to the recklessness due to listening to any half wit with an opinion. I Was so brazen that i brewed and ran my own tren-ace on top of that i ran small amounts of test. enth. stano., bromo.With in weeks i started to notice freakish pumps with a 13lb gain in deep dry muscle.But it all came at a very steep price. Without being to mellow dramatic i,ll just say the side effects were devastateing. And the shame of it all is because i naturally have pretty gifted genitics. My receptor sites probably would have soaked up the most basic of cycles. Instead even people with no with little to no knowledge of AAS,s were on to me.Lucky for me i quit the cycle early, and have tryed to take a common sense approach to any synthetic assistance.
 
25 yrs ago from around this exact time, I had not done a cycle other than a little test which I gained 20lbs in 3-4 weeks from, but a friend of min e gave me a bottle of syntex a-50. Back then it was not a scheduled drug anywhere. He told me to take 3 tabs a day. I weighed around 175. So I took 3 tabs a day and for the first 5 days felt nothing. THEN Im doing triceps pushdowns and the weight I usually struggle with was literally as lite as a feather. So I increased the weight and it was not even noticable. By this time something cardiac was starting to happen to me and I straight had to just get out and drive. I could not catch my breath for anything!!! I was so terrified that I pulled my dads car over off the road and I prayed for my life because I could nt breath. I thought I might die!!! I said to God, that if you let me live Ill never take another tab again. Well, I calmed down, but sad to say, I didnt keep my end of the bargain, and just went down to 2 tabs a day. I remember that I didnt get even 1 night of sleep the whole cycle. I truely wish I could go back and do my 1st 10 cycles differently. I know I learned the very hard way. Now I'm older and adrol doesnt really exist anymore, haha just kidding, but be soooo careful with these things is what I do now. I feel less is best.
 
I am new to chemical enhancement, so the advice you have given is quite welcome. At my age (55) I pray I am wise enough to fight the urge to fall into the "Superman Theory" trap. I must say I am impressed with the gains I have made in my first cycle. In just six weeks on Deca (300mg every 4 days), I can easily appreciate how a man could ruin himself trying to be Clark Kent.

Thanks again for your wisdom.
 
slownsteady,

It has been my experience that most people who start anything new want to fly right in as hard as they can go. Sometimes this is a good thing, but after reading the your account of 25 years ago I better understand the pitfall of thinking more is better. I was satisfied that my seemingly meager first cycle of deca at 300mg every 4 days was fine to start, but now I am certain of it.

I plan to continue my cycle for 12 weeks. What is your advice?

Thanks again,

Jack Darby
 
Curt James,

Some things in this old world just never seem right. I'm glad you posted the article about Mik. For someone with his many talents and great personal drive to have achieved so much in spite of his beginning humbles me. Truly a man to be admired by us all.
