hey guys i figured i’d come on here and explain my fight a little. 1 thing i wish i would of done is just try to get up. the reason i didn’t was bc when he stood up, he was waiting for me to do so. soon as i would of, he would of spun around and take my back. if i had it to do over again i would of just took the risk. i was complaining about the ref standing us up bc c’mon he can’t stand us up 1 time? but i guess you can’t when your basically from the same town as my opponent. i watched the same ref being buddy buddy with all the guys on the card from new jersey. my main problem with kurt was b4 the fight he talked how it was going to be a war and he was gonna leave it all out there and blah blah. well in my opinion he didn’t at all. if your gonna play it safe and stick to a gameplan just say that. don’t talk like it’s gonna be a great fight.

I didn’t hold him in my closed guard and wait for a standup bc i don’t stall. i try to finish. you would think a black belt would do that too. i think the ref was biased whether he was trying to or not. when you have a guy coming into your state and fighting a hometown guy your gonna be biased whether your trying to or not. i felt like i won the fight anyways. i was the one who almost finished the fight. i was the one going for stuff. he was the one defending the whole fight but i knew the judges would give it to him no matter what bc if your on top you win no matter what. if the fight would of went until someone tapped or got tko’d everyone knows who would of won. kurt was on a 2 fight win streak. he wasn’t in danger of being cut. that’s it guys i’m out. thanks to all for the support.
