Punishing Peter Pan

After struggling with my camcorder for 2 months, I finally managed to upload my spain fight video onto youtube. This was the semifinal match against an opponent from Iran.



My opponent's style was very unorthodox and seemed to lack to crisp technique that I was used to seeing. Even though I managed to remain relatively calm throughout the fight and my cardio was great the entire fight, I could feel my mental frustration clouding my thoughts. In round 1, I could see his hands down immediately even when I attacked. As the fight progressed, I attempted to work his head with my hands, but he was playing a strange distance game that was keeping me out pretty successfully. In retrospect, I can see how my leg kicks were disrupting his rhythm and I should have used them a lot more. The result of my indiscretion was a split decision in his favor. I've learned my lesson
