This was Summer Artheron’s first fight back in 4 years. She started training again in February. She trains in JJ and kickboxing and “pretty much anything I can get to.” Summer had to cut a few pounds to make 115. Since the fight was set for 115, Summer wasn’t expecting her opponent to be small. Summer did empathize over the size difference, “I fought someone twenty pounds over me so I was like…aw.” She credits Kristin’s spirit and toughness, “she’s tough; she’s tough.” Summer hopes this win will get her invited into the NAAFS Eve of Destruction tournament. She stated, “I would like to thank my sponsors and training partners.”

About Kristin DeWitt

Kristin was in good spirits after the match, “I had fun.” She hadn’t made it back to her feet. “My contact rolled into the back of my head,” she told us. Since she was unable to see she stayed down and took the loss. Her coach backed the decision, “it’s the one you don’t see that can seriously hurt you.” She sees lots of weight training in the future. “I’m really, really tiny and there’s not an awful lot of girls my size.” She was very thankful for her sponsors and teammates.
