Yesterday was a day of mixed results for three young Blacksmith juniors fighters;
1st up was Aariya, whom came to this fight with self-doubt questioned whether she was good enough, her parents and myself had to reassure her that she was good enough. Well Aariya perform abnormally to get the win against a very tough opponent who did everything possible to derail her from a victory, well done onwards & upwards….welcome to Blacksmith fighters crew.
2nd up Ali against a opponent whom he has beaten twice to titles this year, but one thing I know about junior fight game is, if let bad habits reappear (we work so hard too eradicate them habits) you’ll ultimately fail/lose and that’s what happened via unanimous decision, got complacent with opponent whom was determined not to lost third time in row. 3rd up Umaise, in title fight which he was in control of until he let his emotions get the better of him. In other words his opponent wasn’t going to wilt/crumble he stay focus and determined, because of that Umaise let his frustrations cloud his fight IQ, which culminated in him losing on a split decision.
And morals of this story is BOYZ, your winning streak has come to an end…..Stay Humble Stay Hungry Work Hard, as junior’s you win some you lose some, if you can expect that than you’re on right path.
Also I like to thank Connor for giving up his Sunday, during his fight camp preparation for his big fight at the end of the month, to come and help me as a cornerman….Much appreciated 👊🏿🙏🏿💯
