I heard second hand that the little dude got knocked out with a high kick to the head and was in the hospitol with a medium grade concussion and should be out today.
I hope the little dude is OK.Comment

Well, I am back from Montreal and get ready for a lengthy post because its a loooooong story.
I woke up on Sat. morning at 5AM, I had to roll out of bed and drive to Niagara Falls from Toronto for the SATs for 8AM. After I got some breakfast at Denny's I took them. I did really well on them I thought. Right after I rushed to the car and we sped all the way to the airport in Toronto. I took the 2 PM flight to Montreal. I got there at 3:45 and called my trainers to pick me up. In the meanwhile I had a quick bite to eat and I called my girlfriend. When they picked me up, I went straight to the gym stripped and weighed in. The ****in rat....the promoter promised me a guy 130-134 lbs. I weighed in under because I didnt eat so well. I weighed in at 129 instead of the usual 131. My opponent weighed in at 138 lbs, and we all knew that he cut that weight that morning to make it. But I wanted to fight anyway, so we accepted. Right after, I put on my clothes and I was dead tired from the flight and the test. So we went back to the hotel and I slept for about 30 min and I had a pasta lunch for the energy. At 6:00 we were called for the doctor's check up. I discovered that instead of being the 2nd fight, I was moved to the 8th. My friend was the first and so I just sat in the corner and slept.
After my friend's fight, I relaxed a bit more and finally I was wrapped up.

Later in I shadowboxed a bit to loosen up and also some light light pads.
After a rubdown with the thai linament, vaseline was applied on my neck and face.

My trainer then talks to me, about how the guy needs to pay for making me train so hard and that it was my fight, my time to shine. I was not afraid, I was PISSED OFF.
It was now my time, my fight!! So they put on my robe...

I did my ram muay, and boy did the crowd hate me, I overheard comments like "What a mean looking guy" and stuff like "Look at his stare!" I have to admit, my ram muay was cocky as hell!
Finally the staredown, I looked at him straight and shit, for some reason, I really hated the guy, damn bastard. Everyone was hyped then and for some reason after a few seconds, he looked down instead of staring back before. I later was told by my trainer that a woman who takes capoeria used to see lots of the staredowns and macho attiude from the brazillians that take it, but she told him that the stare I had was the most intense and scariest one that she had ever seen. I was really happy to hear that!
Now it was fight time, the second the bell rang, I made sure I attacked first and hard. I think I threw a jab and a HARD right low kick, just to show my sting. After I threw about 3 kicks, my shin guard came lose and the ref told us to break. I did, but the guy rushed over and threw left and right hooks like a wild man and a right kick. I instinctively tied him up and I whispered in his ear "you mother ****er!" Man I was pissed off. But I understood it was in the heat of the things, so I touched gloves with him.Last edited by YeLLa-TiGeR; 12-04-2001, 05:39 PM.Comment

As you can see, he is much bigger than me.
Right after that inital cheap rush he took on me, I tied up with him again and I slammed him to the ground. I felt better after that.
The second round I opened it with a step then I did a SPIN back kick to his mid section! It actually hurt him and he backed away. I spent most of the time kick high and low, I believe I landed 3 high kicks to his face. I also landed a flying knee He never kicked me, he wanted to box and clinch, I was counter punching and finally he realized that he wanted to clinch with me. That guy was so strong! What he did was he covered up clinch and literally tried to bend my back wards over the ropes, I was nearly 90 degrees every time he did that!

Third round, I was starting to get tired and what he did was clinc and try the same tactic while throwing rabbit knees to my midsection. End of the fight I was confident I won because of how everything went. My chest was even covered in his blood from his mouth and nose.
Overall he kicked ONCE the whole fight and mostly threw hooks to my head area. He was loved by the crowd though, I later discovered that the promoter lied and the guy actually had 3 or 4 fights ALREADY. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET A FIGHTER WHO WAS UNDER 135 and with NO FIGHTS.
The ref collected the score cards and gave them up, and I lost by SPLIT DECISION. The ref was Master Suchart and he told me PERSONALLY that the promoter changed the scores. Originally it was 33-30 for me, 32-30 for me and 31-30 for me.
I WON, i really DID........I was really saddened, after I found out from Suchart. Also of all the fights, all the Montreal guys won. I never saw so much crap in my life. Some guys got really cheated and the crowd knew it, they booed at alot of the fights. And the finally the promoter came in with the mike and told everyone literally "**** YOU, NO MORE MUay THAI FOR YOU!"
Hell even suchart was pissed OFF. He stopped a fight and went up to the promoter and told him "SHUT THE **** UP, I DO MY JOB! DO YOURS!" He was kicking things over after the whole thing was over, man he was pissed! Once after Suchart gave a standing eight count, the promoter was like " it doesnt count, bad call" and told the judges not to count it. he even ended a round ONE MIN. early because his fighter was in trouble. I was happy though, in the end I mean, I knew I did a good job, I felt really good, I called my gf and my mother. And had a night out on the town.
I am so happy I had this experience, too bad I didnt get the decision. But everyone knows....the most important thing was, my trainer was proud of me. One fault was, I was too aggressive he said. But people were asking him who I was where I fought before, they believed that I already had 3 fights or so because they said I was very "technical" and calm for a first timer. That made me feel really good. I hope next time I can do my trainers proud again.
Thank you guys. It means the world to me.
BTW the promoter made us pay for our own hotel room too.......lying bastard. Your a damn crook. People call him "Don King"Last edited by YeLLa-TiGeR; 12-04-2001, 05:48 PM.Comment

uh too lazy to edit my posts, but sorry if I sound like a tough guy. I really was mad though, the whole time. Instead of being scared, I was really mad. 12 weeks of hard training, the way I saw it, the bastard made ME run, made ME puke, made ME shed blood. And now he was trying to beat ME up?? Thats just the way I saw the whole thing I guess, beats the hell out of being scared. I just prepared to long and too hard to be afraid anymore. And sorry if I sound cocky in my post. I really dont want to come across as that. To be fair, he landed good right crosses and hooks to my face. And he was tough. But I mean it, the promoter is a snake. I dont like him! And the pictures, believe it or not, but my face always looks like that, most of the time that is.
IF you cant see the pics......

Hey Little Punk:
I am glad that the report you were in the hospitol was wrong.
Glad that you got your first fight out of the way and you did well....Comment

Congratulations eventhough the decision didn't work out.
So tell us big dawg, do you plan on making this a career or something you do for fun.
If you wanna get even meaner before a fight, use ben-gay before a fight instead of thai linamin. Sweep uses it before he trains and I hear he's meaner than an ole junkyard dawg
!
later on partner......Comment

Hey, YeLLa TiGeR!
Long time no see. Man, you have really come a long way. I remember when you first started posting here talking about getting into a fight in high school with a guy who was dissing Koreans
Back in your TKD days.
Seriously though, good job. You won that fight in my opinion.
Don't forget that. Like everyone said, don't sweat the decision too much. The people who saw it know what really happened.
Good luck man, good training, and keep safe.
