Sophie goes back to Rachel and the rest of her Foxfire Atlantic crew.“I had a wonderful time and I don’t say that just because I won. The Foxfire Atlantic team has been very gracious to Rachel McAdams and myself. I hope there will be more such adventures in the future and I want to be part of that. As for tonight, I credit Rachel Nichols for suggesting try my feint work. We’ve been working onit in sparring and I really needed something to turn the fight around. It worked and suddenly the whole fight was different. I know it won’t always work, but when it does it is impressive!”
A crestfallen Kelly Gale says: “Frankly I think Sophie was lucky. I was winning that fight, but she turned slick and I wasn’t expecting it. Chalk that up to a painful lesson learned. I certainly hope to fight her again. There is no way she get away with that stuff on me twice!”
Fight just goes to show how what looks like a losing fight for one fighter can suddenly be turned around.
Sophie Turner now is revealed to have a bag of tricks. Of course, once they become know they won’t be quite so tricky, but we suspect she will try them again or deploy something new. All in the education pattern of a successful young fighter.
But Kelly Gale is a young fighter too and she certain did learn some lessons in this too, but of the more painful kind. Still a lesson learned is a lesson learned and we’ll have to see what the young model does in future ventures.
