VIctory, 12/24/12

Victory.   3rd round knockout by way of elbows to the head.  Fight was a lot different than i was expecting.  All those thoughts go through your head before the fight.  What could happen? all the things that could be hurt or go wrong?  a couple hours before the fight everything cleared and i felt so much better.  it seems after each fight the time before the fight that i start having fun gets longer, from a couple minutes to a couple hours.  It would be nice if it could start from when I accept the fight.
Right now the two most painful things are my thumb from a punch and my elbow from when I bashed against my opponents head a couple times.  I am happy, I should be able to run tomorrow.  Not that im going to, but that the body parts needed are able to function should i wish to do so.
I feel great, but at some level it would have been nice to have a more challenging match.  I felt in control from the start and other than a few moments I felt in control and not worried about what he would do, but thinking about how i wanted to move and how to react to his movements.
Also my first knockout.  a couple in sparring, but usually by way of the body.  All my fights before have either gone the distance or ended by way of submission.  I was starting to wonder if i had it in me to knockout someone.  This is fight number 8.  With a combined MMA and kickboxing record of 5-2 with one exibition that I dont want to talk about.  Now I am looking forward to getting back into the ground game and the MMA game.
I feel great.
