Eddie Farrell took a fight in Atyrau- Kazakhstan over the weekend, unfortunately losing on points decision. He finished the fight and walked away with a busted nose, but he tells us he is recovering well and ready for more. We love his mentality and strength!
…Sometimes you put in all the hard work at the gym, have a impeccable warrior mental game and you get in the ring and doesn’t go your way. Its not a perfect world. Was still a good scrap, still didn’t get dropped and showed my heart. Busted my nose first punch. 3×3 min with only 1 min rest killed me. Wasn’t fit enough and first time I fought with alot heavier guy at 83kgs. You sure can feel that power. Good work Kazakhstan your boxing level is awesome and glad to keep up with a foreigner IFMA gold medaler with nearly 100 fights! Alot learned and onto the next one. More explosive training coming and conditioning. ??” – Eddie Farrell
