At long last I had the opportunity to view the DVD of All Female Show d.d.
july, the 8th, which I had ordered a while ago.
For me, the most interesting match, was Rachel Jones vs Linda Ooms.
The first round lasted 5-1/2 minutes instead of 3 minutes!
After the last furious, non-stop, fight of the usually strong Ooms
against the 5-times world-champion, Ilonka Elmont, which ended in a
draw, it was obvious, that in her fight against Rachel, Ooms did not
fully extend herself for a 100percent.
Perhaps this was caused by the long trip, plus the flight on the same
day?
On the DVD it is clear, that the technically superior Ooms in all of
the 5 rounds, scored more points with boxing, lowkicks and even in the
clinch.
Only in the 5th round, did Jones at last see her chance, when Ooms during
the clinch, got her right arm caught in the ropes. However, Jones' elbow
punches were blocked by Ooms' defense.
Therefore, the result of the match was quite remarkable!
If I have to be honest, it was not specially a spectacular strong match
for both the ladies and Rachel Jones will have to "raise all her sails"
to keep up in her fight against the very strong Ilonka Elmont.
Ilonka's strongest weapon is her murderous clinch and judging from the
DVD, this is for Jones still uncharted waters and she will have to prepare
herself enormously well against The Killer Queen.
I, however, wish Rachel all the best and a lot of success!
William.
