hard fought but lost

ok here we go...

well as i had posted earlier last week i had been training a new fighter that had come to me for some help for an up comming match. we trained hard for this but we feel short as my boy was stopped on the account of recieving too many standing 8 counts. now if you don't know what a standing 8 count is, it is a safety precaution used in boxing/kickboxing matches when the referee feels that a fighter has absorbed too many blows to the head in succession and deams a mandatory standing count of 8 to let the fighter know that he has recieved too many contacted blows and needs to fix it or have the match possible stopped.

this is what happened to us this weekend. it was his first loss and he was disappointed quite alot. i was too but hey, this is fighting and there is always a winner and a loser. we know what went wrong and we are going to fix it! this kid has an incredible future in this sport and this loss may have been the fire of motivation he will need to take it to the next level.

fighters are born in the fire of battle and reborn after a loss, lets see where this fighter goes once the ashes have cooled off!

until next time.....
hands up, chin down and keep on fighting!
