Thoughts Before 12th MT Fight - Video Journal Update

Took a fight last minute (about 26 hours notice) and just giving some thoughts on the preparation and excitement of short-notice fighting. It's a rematch against Angela Hill, whom I fought last year and lost to. Should be a good fight; the last one was a lot of fun.

@melani080399 In Thailand you are always ready for a fight at short notice (unless injured). This entire train-for-several-months for a fight you think you can win is a Western way of fighting. It just is very different over there. Fighting is what Thais do instead of sparring, which is why they fight every 3 or 4 weeks. Good luck to you too!

Good for her!if she is going to keep fithing I think going to Thailand is better for her I know she works hard I see that on her videos just make sure you are always ready for a fight if you think it's not enough time to get ready for a fight don't take it there will be more chances.well wish you guys the best good luck in Thailand.

@melani080399 sparring is more important than you think to the display of technique. Sylvie has never been hurt even a little. She is learning what she can according to her opportunities. She takes fights other fighters would never in order to learn. But...we are moving to Thailand where she will be fighting (and training) full time against girls her size. I hope you continue to watch her progress there. All she is doing is sharing her path, nothing more.

You dont have to look grate after 12 fights you have to do better than that there was not timing when was punching no technic when she kick ,I don't care if she is fighting the best or worst fighter ever or you have only 24hours notice technic and timing always have to be there if you cant find sparring partner don't go on the ring cause you can't get hurt.good luck!

@melani080399 Melanie, you have to understand a few things. Sylvie is in this for the long haul. She gets very little sparring opportunities (essential for fighting in the ring). She was fighting probably the best fighter on the East coast in the weight class, which is probably above hers (she could fight at 100 easily), an undefeated, aggressive fighter who others are avoiding, on 24 hrs notice. Unheard of. When you fight bigger/better fighters, you are not going to look great.

I saw that fight.i was in first row and i dont understand how when you train you look good and when you fight you dont show any muay thai skills.You have already work for 2 years and have 12 fights still you look like is your first fight,make your kru look bad is not nice looks that he puts all his time and knowledge to help you but when you get in the ring you forget everything you learned,sylvie no everybody is a fighter,fighters learn from their mistakes is time to think about it.
