3 fighters fought in PA this evening on an all-female card. A long night and a long drive, but a new USKA Title for Gianna Smith, who defeated a tough Canadian fighter for the belt.
A slightly infuriating evening, as our fighter Brandice (co-main event) lost a decision in her title bout to another Canadian fighter. No disrespect to the opponent, but it was an absurd decision. Brandice demonstrated better, cleaner skills, landed better and harder shots. The only thing her opponent brought was a style that had both fighters on the ground repeatedly throughout the fight; not a scoring approach in muay thai and should have actually been fouls. But, so it goes sometimes in events that are judged. Onward and upward. Brandice is young, strong, motivated, disciplined and trains hard. This will only make her work even harder.

More fights tonight. Our fighter Youyung Cho fought at a long-running promotion in the Bonx, Muay Thai Challenge. The venue is horrific -- a very small boxing gym. No heat in the winter, no air in the summer. one toilet in the men's room, one in the ladies. But the promoter consistently makes some of the best matches of any show on the East Coast, mixed in with a healthy dose of green fighters form local gyms (got to sell tickets). Youyung fought a very good fighter out of a very good camp: Suresh Tamag, Seapeenong Gym in Virginia. It was simply a fantastic fight. Two young, talented, technical, experienced fighters going at it all out. Youyung lost the decision but no complaints. It was extremely close and an outstanding and entertaining fight.

Sunday! So tired and would love to sleep in, but Forest knows it's trail run day:) And it's a great day for it -- sunny and spring-like. Awesome.
Did some playing with my son, a lot of napping, and way too much eating. All good stuff, though (kimchee, avocado, some almond butter with banana, dried figs and dates, several fruit smoothies....) and I needed it after the last few days.
