Last night, it was finally ascertained that I will have a match in this Saturday’s first leg of the NCR Muay Thai Championship. And it will be a big challenge for me. My opponent is younger, taller and more experienced. Perhaps my only advantage is that I am heavier. I will be fighting one of the instructors of MAP-Makati Chapter (and younger brother of the chief instructor). Since I don’t have an opponent in my weight division, I was matched to a lower weight division and to equalize the weight difference, Andy (Head of the Technical Committee who’s the matchmaker) chose somebody more experienced…. And I thought Andy is my friend.
To make things worse, since I am an officer of MAP, I have to aid the organizers in ensuring that the competition is a success. Which means I will not be able to really focus on my fight. Oh yeah, just for the love of the sport.
Had my last intense training last night by sparring with Gully and Chris. Tonight, I’ll go to a spa and have my well deserved massage. Tomorrow, I’ll have a light training by doing some rounds of shadow boxing and light pads. Saturday, will be my biggest fight yet in Muay Thai.
