Fightergirls – You were doing a lot of backing up in the fight, were you hoping to counter punch or kick at Helsper?

Frausto – Yes I’ve found myself to sometimes trying to wait for a counter cause I really didn’t know what to expect from her.

Fightergirls – Were you disappointed you won by decision?

Frausto – I wouldn’t say I was disappointed with a decision. A win is a win. & at the end of the fight I got the job done so that’s all that matters in my heart. 5 min round are totally different from the 3min rounds I’m used to so I kind of found myself thinking about that everynow & thn & trying to pick my shoots rather thn just throwing blows. I’m happy with my win, decision or not, it’s still victory. My time will come. It’s all a learning expierence for me. I just went pro this year so I know I still have a lot to learn.

Fightergirls – Is there anything you wanna work on for the next fight?

Frausto – After every fight there’s always things I have to work on. After I get a look at this fight & talk to my coaches, we’ll be able to see why it is I have to work on. I’d like to work in my movement, controling the ring, and my wrestling & ground of course, also my hand work, tighter faster effective strikes.

Fightergirls – Who do you think you wanna fight next?

Frausto – Not focused on fighting anyone soon til my foot heals but I’d like to fight a bigger name. But 1st things first. I have to heal up first.

Fightergirls – You had mentioned you were shaking off some ring rust, what things do you think you could have done better?

Helsper – I have great hands and if I would have used them I know I would have been getting my hand raised for the win. I need to work on my Cardio and the clench as well as checking kicks, My Technique could most definetly use some work as well.. I feel it was really just the ring rust. I am normally very aggressive and have some of the hardest hitting hands.. I have been told by every girl I have faught. Including Zoila that I hit harder than anyone they have faught. I didn’t feel that I landed any hard hits to Zoila.

Fightergirls – What things were going right during the fight, if anything?

Helsper – Well, I feel that I had my breathing alright. The punches that I threw created the reaction that I wanted but I didn’t pursue as much as I am capable of.

Fightergirls – What were your thoughts about the pre-mature stand-up in the third round?

Helsper – I realize that we should have been more active but I feel I should have had a little more time. I was in the dominant position and if I could have gotten my arms free I would have dropped bombs on her.

Fightergirls – Was the cut due to the kick itself or maybe Zoila’s toe nail cutting you?

Helsper – The doc told me in the ER it looked like it was probablly her toenail. Lol 3 of them

Fightergirls – What is next for you? How long do you think you will go before your next fight?

Helsper – I know now that I still have what it takes to compete or make it to the top competitors even though I disapointed myself because I didn’t use my heavy hands which I consider my strongest attribute. It’s been 3 years since I have fought. They say I can’t fight for 60 days allowing time for my eye to heal, but I’m ready day 61. Thanks Everyone for your support and I Love all my fans Thank you all.
