Some weekend fight results:
TFC Dream 4:
115lbs: Si Yoon Park defeats Yeon Hwa Park by Unanimous decision. Si Yoon moves to 1-0, Yeon Hwa drops to 0-2. I hadn't gotten to watch Yeon Hwa's last fight, and Si Woo was a debutant, so I didn't know what to expect. Si Yoon looks to come from a boxing background, the way she punches and moves her head. Looks to have decent fundamentals there. Yeon Hwa was sloppy, often winging punches out of seeming desperation. Not sure how serious her training is, or if she just abandons it in the cage.
105lbs: Jae Choi defeats Eun Ha Kim by unanimous decision. Choi moves to 2-0, Kim drops to 0-1. Choi seems to like the clinch, and showed it in this fight. She looked to be the stronger of the two. Interesting note, she started crossfit to get into shape, and fell into training with Korean Top Team.
Road FC 43/ Young Guns 37:
115lbs: Yun Ha Hong defeats Yu Ri Shim by Unanimous decision. Hong moves to 1-4, Shim drops to 2-1. This was a rematch from their amateur careers, where Hong won by Unanimous decision. Since then, Hong has had a hard time in her career, a combination of bad matchmaking and worse luck. Shim took this fight on about a week's notice. Hong was originally scheduled to face a diferent opponent at 105lbs. Still, I thought Shim would have the advantage. She comes from a Muay Thai background, and has good knees in the clinch. Hong is a BJJ practitioner with a strong overhand right, but doesn't set it up well. First round was good, with Shim dropping Hong at one point, and Hong getting in a takedown or two. Second round was all Hong, who twice took the clinch to the cage and stayed close, scoring takedowns and good G&P on Shim.
