Travis Cox

MMA Florida Fighter and 5th Gear Productions, recently made a visit to the Lee County Combat Sports facility located at 14561 Palm Beach Blvd in East Fort Myers, FL. We went there to visit Travis Cox, winner of a second round TKO victory over Carlos Gonzalez at Art of Fighting 6 held in Fort Myers FL on November 22, 2009. We also went to speak to Mike Nowling, owner and boxing coach at Lee County Combat sports.

Mr. Nowling is a very knowledgeable and talented fighter in his own right. He has trained many successful fighters in the Fort Myers area. Mr. Nowling is considered by many to be one of the state's top boxing trainers.

As we entered the gym, it was like stepping back in time. It conjured up images of old school smash mouth fighters, like Roberto Duran, Joe Frazier, Rocky Marciano and yes, Rocky Balboa!

After meeting Travis Cox, we were not to be disappointed. You could tell immediately that Travis Cox was that rare competitor that will always step up to the challenge. A true Gladiator, Travis exemplifies the heart and spirit that it takes to be a Mixed Martial Arts Fighter.

The next time MMA Florida Fighter pays a visit to Lee County Combat Sports, we are going to take our gear. You just can't help wanting to strap on the leather the minute you walk in the door, good atmosphere, good fighter's, great fight club!
