All of our fighters stayed true to Muay Thai and fought with traditional technique, heart, and upheld the integrity of our sport.
Quick results:
Round 1
- Brian wins by stoppage against friendly competitor from Southside and moves on to next fight
- Nic wins unanimous decision against a good clincher and moves on to next fight
- Cam gets a "bye" into the next round
Round 2
- Brian loses by unanimous decision that most of us see as controversial.
- Nic strong opponent, and shows incredible heart. Nic loses unanimous decision
- Cam fights stronger opponent and loses after round 1 by towel. Kru Jen made the right decision after seeing the first round. I appreciate Kru for stepping in and putting my well being first. I accept that I lost to a better fighter and will learn from it.
All of our opponents were very friendly and respectful. It was great to see the respect.
All things considered, we are a young group and we received a lot of praise from gyms from all over the place for our technique and heart. York Muay Thai gained a lot of recognition.
As well, Kru managed to corner and prepare all 3 of us with our fights very tight together, as well as help out other Canadians in the tournament. It was a hectic day that exhausted her as much as the rest of us, and she managed to pull it together like she was 3 people.
A congratulations to our friends from Southside who did very well. Mikey and Sheldon both brought home the championships from their weight class and experience division.
Pictures of our trip will follow!
