Cool. How did you kickbox in that lone match you had? Did you mix everything you knew?
Well, Jersey Long was a ridiculously talented kicker &I knew that there was no way that I could fight at a distance with him because he'd have picked me apart. So, I pressured my way inside as much as possible & made him fight my fight. I was the better puncher so I had the advantage in close.
Early on he was able to stay at range & do some damage with his feet though. And after two rounds I was behind on points. But I slowed him down with body shots in the second half of the fight & dropped him with a left hook in the final round. I figured it was too late though because we were in Kingston, Ontario so I assumed the judges would give it to the Canadian. So, when they gave me a draw I was happy as hell.
I was scheduled for my second pro kickboxing bout a few months later when I blew out my right knee in training & I had to have reconstructive surgery. They had to use titanium screws to hold it together which ended my kickboxing career. So, from that point on I just continued my boxing career.
