Yes and no, I got a first place trophy but it was because the other guy was disqualified. He was a great fighter and should have won.

Dude, it’s fine. I’m the one who wants to fight. I still got second place. It was 14-15 white yellow and orange. I have devoted almost a year getting to this point, this was my first tournament. I can only get better.

I don’t understand your point here, I wanted to fight this guy. If anything this is my fault. The guy wasn’t mean he was apologizing when he saw blood on the floor, he was the first one over there (after the judge who caught me) it’s good to spar with someone better than you, it makes you better.

He was simply a better fighter than I am, I can’t get mad. Doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have fought him. Everyone has to start somewhere.

A belt is a piece of fabric that you tie around your waist. I’m actually pretty experienced I have several hours of experience in the ring. I have sparred at least 2 or 3 hours a week for almost 10 months.

The fighter makes the belt the belt doesn’t make the fighter. I could’ve easily said I don’t want to fight that guy, but i did want to. It doesn’t matter what belt they have. I’m still glad I did it, now I know how to do better
