Lost the final against Sofia Ochigava 2-0. But it was an even fight. 0-0 first round, 0-0 second round and then she got one point in each of the next rounds. After the first round all I had in my head was: I can beat her, its working. It was not impossible.
I lost but Im happy that I managed to follow our tactic and I didnt lose focus.
Our tactic was to work in and out and use my speed to put pressure on her. I had to use my left the whole time so that she had to work and hopefully miss. My problems often with right-handed fighters is that I forget to use my left, and usually I start attacking from the wrong distance. I do feel that I didnt do that mistake in this match but I should have put in more effort when I came in. At the same time you always have to consider how much chances to take in there because it is so important not to get hit yourself to.

Won the fight today 2-4. Started out a little bit slow in the first round. She was kind of hard to figure out. She was taller then me, south paw and she wanted me to attack so she could counter me. Hard to find the right distance and at the same time i did not want to rush in. I was leading 1-0 after the first round. Max was a little bit frustrated that I didnt use my jab to get in. Started out better in 2nd round and was leading 3-1 when the bell rang. In the third and fourth round I was boxing better and I should have got some more points but I won the fight thats whats important. Tomorrow I will box against the Russian Sofya Ochigava. It will be a tuff match and I have nothing to loose. I look forward to fight such a good fighter and I will do my best to win.
Hagen lost his fight today 5-0 but he did a very good fight and the score should have been more even. Here he tries out a new hear look in a Czech shop. Tomorrow Max has to wear this when I win.
Max had to wear this hat because I won yesterday (even though it was a walkover).

Ingrid in bed wondering why, did she not want to fight me; is that a lie?
I hope today we will see more action or else I will get an physical reaction.
I have been training for this for so long, I want to beat someone up is that wrong?
Some of u must think its something wrong with my head, and that is true I am afraid.
Wish me luck this afternoon, I hope I will beat another Czech soon.
