I do not have the words to fully express just how proud I am of her. Rikki knew going in that 135 was too heavy for her to fight at but she wanted the opportunity to fight on this show.
She fought two five minute rounds against a larger and more experienced opponent (Jan Finney) and gave 110%. Even though Rikki lost the decision she proved to everyone in attendance just what she is made of. She drove for the whole 10 minutes and took everything that her opponent had to offer and never wavered.
I have cornered more fights than I can possibly count and I have never seen such heart and determination in my life. She is quite possibly the toughest person I have ever known.
The biggest lesson learned was one we already knew going in. She really needs to be fighting at 115.
