Hi Sandy. Unfortunately, there will be only one' women's bout.
And Tasha Marzolla was chosen to fight.

That's what has some of the ladies upset. and I
understand their chagrin.

yes, trisha Hill is a very accomplished fighter.
And fight say, between trisha and karen Ousey would be
a stupendous matchup that would really put women's
Muay Thai on the map.

But the promoter(s) felt Tasha's' chairsma was the
bigger attraction. I think he is wrong.

Nevertheless, lets give Tasha a chance.
she trained under Angela Rivera-Parr, and
is reportedly very serious about Muay Thai.
So, if she continues to work hard and improve
her skills,
she can be a real boon to women's Muay Thai.

No, there is no weight limit for the k-1.

and yes, it is open to anyone from anywhere.

But, realistically they want a local fighter on the card.

That's why they originally matched Angela Parr with Karen Ousey.
Angela is tremendously talented and was also local at the time.


on anotr matter, It is very possible we will see Trisha Hill and Ms Ousey meet in the UK.
Not saying it is a done deal. But it is a real possibility.

ALSO:


(excuse the caps) One way promoters can afford to bring women across the atlantic (both directions) is for promoters to eliminate one mens bout fomr the card. That saves purse money, and expenses sufficient to cover the women's airfare and lodging expenses.

And to compensate for the time gap created by having one less fight on the card -simply add ten minutes to the intermission, and make the rounds for the women three minutes instead of two-and the rest periods two minutes instead of one.

there: you have consumed a full 20 minutes of the vacant time spot created by deleting one men's proposed fight from the card- and you have a world class women's international fight at NO extra expense .

see, it most certainly CAN be done-IF the promoters are committed or even open to the idea of a high profile womens fight on the card-at no extra expense. I get tired of this lame "we can;t afford to fly her in" bs...Oh yes you can! you just got to think outside the box. (no pun intended)

And by the way. the guys shouldn't bitch about that either. -because their fights still will outnumber women's fights on the card
7, 8, 9 or 10 to 1.

how ya like them apples?

cheers,

dan
