Postponement[]
- Herbert and I met at Vienna last weekend. Unfortunately the match had to be post-poned as Mr. Schmidt had not completely recovered from illness. Of course I refused to hit a sick man and eagerly await my chance to fight Herbert when he is in top condition. Though when I will have the pleasure, I don't know. Regards, Roland
- I would like to thank Roland for his consideration. I was also really looking forward to this duel. A few test bouts with other people showed me quite clearly that I didn't have the stamina nor the concentration for a decent performance. So this duel is postponed but by no means cancelled. I am too looking forward to it. Herbert
- So I am hoping to finally meet you well prepared and ready to fight at the Dreynfechtival in Vienna in February 2010. If you have no objections the fight shall take place on Friday afternoon at 5 pm. All the best, Roland
- will be prepared and ready at this date and time - if my schedule permits me to be in vienna on friday afternoon. Otherwise I will be ready for the fight on saturday. I am looking forward to it and hope I can put up a bit of a fight to make it interesting. Herbert
