This was one of those weekends, that we wished it didn’t happened but we were glad it did, as we learnt a lot.
We had 3 fighters in action, Luis Soot Raaeng Geert, Patrick SRG Ribeiro and Chris SRG Mataafa.
3 tough fights, 3 losses to our records, 3 amazing experiences and i certainty, we will come back stronger than ever.
Luis got unlucky, had his nose broken again at the 2nd round of his fight in Pukhet on Friday the 17th. The Sumalle fighter connected and the nose gave in again, ref stopped and this will be it for the Macaco in the 2014 season. Surgery to follow and solid rest.
Chris fought really well, displayed really sharp technique but unfortunately it didn’t look the same way for the judges. They gave an unanimous decision victory to his opponent Tulua Taito. Chris was very calm all the way, had extra gas left on his tank and that alone showed us that he was ready to be there and will soon return.
Patrick had an amazing fight, against a very strong Matt Sulivan. The SRG fighter went well, all the way to the end, fighting his heart out and doing us all very proud. Lost to a split decision and that closed our Sunday night, and our weekend, but showed to us that with only 8 fights till then, he was absolutely ready to be there, and could, in the near future, do it again. The WKA Australian title is not with us at this time.. but only time will tell what will come next.
Hope to see you all at training, stronger than ever. SOOT RAAENG GEERT!!
