Golden Gloves - Knit Style!

How cool is this? Nattygan and Cess came out to watch me at Golden Gloves! They were my crowd. There had been talk of coming, but it was really a such a lovely suprise when they showed up.

Here I am with Natty before my fight.

And with Cess showing off my fishnets. The officials proclaimed them against the rules, but I wore them before the fight. Then I just rolled them down and tucked them into my tall socks.

Here is a prebell shot. I had the red corner.

My opponent was shorter than I am and I had a height and reach advantage over her. But she was a "scrappy chihuahua" as Nattygan put it and she kept coming and coming. I got hit hard in the nose, eye and lip. And there was blood splattered everywhere -my own. The third round was really in the toilet for me. I got two standing 8-counts. I lost the fight, but it was a great learning experience and I had a lot of fun. And I got a little trophy!

Momo- you are a true gladiator! That scrappy chihuahua won't know what hit her next time you meet her in the ring!
