This morning we woke-up and headed to Sausalito for brunch. Rich needed a great meal before his fight - we went to one of our favorites (Scoma's...yum!).
It was so wonderful to see some of our very old and dear friends, Will and Jen. They now live in Santa Rosa and were able to come to the city and hang out with us and watch Richard's fight.
Now - the fight. I'm sad to say that my husband didn't win this bout. His nose was broken. His opponent was tough and much bigger than he was, which isn't unusual for Richard's opponents (they seem to only be getting bigger and bigger). The ref stopped the fight in the second round because he thought Rich was being hurt and wasn't able to defend himself accordingly. Rich was so upset with the ref because his strategy was to wear his opponent down and the ref didn't let that happen. As the wife - I'm just glad that once again my handsome husband is alright!
