It was a good match and the American girl whopped arse. First round and she was crying and I was told it was quite common that they greased up their gloves in Tiger balm and aimed for the eyes. It was explained to me: - The betting is important so the cheat - No one checking the gloves? The American girl was hit in the eye and it started to burn and she could not see so there might have been something on the gloves.
But she kicked arse in the last 4 rounds and she was the winner. The Thai spectators were of course cheering for the Thai girl, the 2 or 3 first rounds. They were screaming for the American girl the 2 last rounds. They came to our corner and wanted to give pointers and to PEP her.
It was amazing to see how she turned the people looking at the match. Of course not the people in the red corner. Well, maybe, we can see the trainer in the red corner looking more and more worried and sullen by the minute in the slide show above.
In the begining it was like: Yeah, we're kicking arse! It was fun and I expected, well, everyone was expecting them to raise the American girl's hand. But he raised both their hands and they ended up with the same point at the end.
Well, the American girl won, but they told us that the Thai girl was the Thai champion and she could not lose because then she could not defend her belt. Well, as I told her after her first fight in Pattaya. We left the ring behind and they started to take care of the American girl, removing wrappings and taking care of her eye with ice.
