BellyPunch Contest - Fight 2 + 3 Contest-Group 21!! Pages by Micha Part 4 So, everything is over, the day is nearly over and somehow, I survived all 3 group fights. We have now 9:10 pm. I watched, all of our group fights, now manny times. It is absolute crazy, what I, but also the other women, has to take. Already in the first fight, against Sarah Denhardt, the limit, of what my stomach can take, was shown there. And that in the first fight, against a woman, which would be called as a weak opponent. Would be so, if Sarah would have been really so weak, like she was represented statistically. But, well, in a match, where it is a question of giving everything, the people simply grow over themselves. I simply can not shut up. I simply can play from memory all the other matches, but I still must have a look at them, once again. I already told you about the 1st fight. At 3 pm was then the 2nd fight, against Silvana Malchow. Silvana was the first woman in the ring. When I came to the ring, I already could see her steel hard stomach muscles from far away. I also could see from there, her extreme face mimicry. I only can say, if looks could kill you. When I arrived then in the ring, we shaked our hands. That she, in that situation, did not tear off my hand, was a surprise. An incredibly intense and hard handshake. In addition, she also flexed then her stomach to the limit and did that damned provoking. But, I did not let me provoked from this 2 things. Silvana is completely muscular. She weighs 7,3 lbs more than I and she is 1,5 inch smaller. You can imagine then, that her whole body, is much more muscle packed, than mine. Crazy is, that her legs looks much undeveloped and less muscled. But her upper body, is massive. She has a very big back and she also needs that big one. Her back must be so big and so strongly built, because it must also hold an stomach, which has an incredibly high muscle mass. But it seems, that Silvana never heard the word definition. Her stomach was, by far, not so defined, like Sarahs stomach and not nearly as good definied as mine. She sure would have a 8-pack, but you could see the uppest and the lowest muscles of her ABS area only very less. But, the 4 in the middle, you can see absolutely best. Already at Sarahs ABS, I had the supposition, that her ABS would jump to me in my eyes. But those 4 from Silvanas ABS, jumps much more into my eyes. Is it possible to implant some steel into a stomach? Ok, this was fun, but Silvanas stomach looks like this. She can not achieve something like that, only with training, there must be implants in that. So, in the match, I would punch therefore onto steel. That was, what I thought, in the moment, where I had a look at her. The fact, that it was possible, that I could hurt my hands, if I punch her in the stomach, was already bad enough. But then also have a look at her arms. Like I said before, she really looked, as if she has no muscle mass in her legs, that all the muscle mass would be in her upper body. When she went into her corner, after the handshake, she provoked me once again and did a double bicep pose. But, like I said, she could not provoked me with something like that, I was only impressed. And that was very impressed. A massive peak biceps, which strength, I could not estimate and also wanted not to estimate it. But I simply must say one thing. She looked damned strong and her stomach so incredible hard, like pure steel. But Magret had beaten her, in the first fight. I have seen the match on DVD. It was harder, than the match, I had against Sarah. But, the main thing was, you can win against Silvana. As I watched Silvanas match against Magret, I could recognize, where the weak points of Silvanas stomach were. There were not many, but it was good see, that she has some. Those points are mainly in her stomach side and in the upper stomach area, there, where the uppest stomach muscles were. But this area is very close to the rib cage. But, because this rib cage was also the delimitation and this area was also very small, it would not be easy for me, to hit in it, with full success. But Magret had also done it. When I went into my corner, I still remembered, how also my partner said, that nothing would be impossible. It would be very hard, harder, than against Sarah. My stomach was also again in top form, if that belongs to the capacity. You could still see the bad look of him, coming from the match against Sarah. Both sides were still a little red, but not more so dark, like directly after the match. You still could also see a few smaller swellings. Through the ice cooling, during the break, some smaller swellings went away, but not the thickest swellings. I had made myself some worries about my swellings, before the match against Silvana. So, my partner had done then a few more harder punches on them. His punches were not weak, but I only felt then the impact, but no pain or hurt. That gave me then the security, that it were only superficial swellings. I also saw, at Silvanas stomach, some pressure points and swellings. So, her stomach had also remained something, of her last match. But that will be so, at this contest. The stomach can not completely recover in so short time. But we both had these problems, therefore, nobody of us two had really an advantage. Then the first round began. We went to the ring middle and the referee made the coin throw. This time, I won and was allowed to begin with the first punch. But how should I begin, if I would punch on steel? Good, I took a lot of swing and aimed then, onto the small area on Silvanas uppest stomach muscles. I hit very well. Silvanas upper body shaked, but did not bent forwards. That mostly only happens, if you punch someone onto the lower stomach muscles. I would try that out then in my next attempt. Silvanas face did not show me any reaction. She stood, fully provocatively, before me, her arms on the side at the body, totally full flexed, like also her stomach. I was satisfied with my punch, at least, it had brought Silvana into shaking. Then, she was allowed to punch. I gave everything, completely everything. It did not matter, where she would aim, I put everything possible of my strength, into my entire stomach. Then, I closed my eyes and concentrated only on the punch from her. I had made everything correct. Silvana hit me on the bellynavel. I had felt the punch clearly. Would be a miracle, if I would not feel a punch from her. But just as well, as Silvana had punched, I also could absorb this punch. If I now look at the slow motion on the DVD, I could see, that Silvanas fist, did not went in so deeply into my stomach. That speaks for a very good defendness of me. But, at that moment, I could not say clearly, if Silvana had given already her best. But this punch was far away of calling it weak. It was heavy, to compare that punch, with a punch of Sarah. Sarah had, in our match, not much punched me, she mostly only kicked. Then, my 2nd punch. As next, I would test, like I already thought before, her lower stomach area. Therefore, I took a lot of swing and rammed my fist, into the area under her navel. After that punch, Silvana shaked something more and her upper body bend a bit forwards. I was a little amazed. Ok, I had taken a lot of swing, but there were still reserves, in order, to hit in a harder way. But, as fast, as I thought about my reserves, Silvana stood again in normal, upright position. It was only the impact of my punch, which had brought her upper body bending forward. The power of my punch, she had put away without any problems. Because of this, I knew then better, how hard it would become against Silvana. Then, the next punch of Silvana. I observed her, while I was giving my best again, during the flexing. She clenched her right fist, did not take any swing, but held her fist directly before my stomach middle. Then, like a machine, she pulled back her right arm, a little bit and made her fist ready to punch. Really funny, looked totally like a mechanical punch. Exact and purposeful and, in spite of the short way into my stomach, with a lot of strength, behind that. More strength, than her first punch had. I felt it clearly. It was the same feeling, like I had at the pre contest, many weeks ago. The test there, which was done with a machine, where a punch arm was fired out, from a plunger. Just the same, was that Punch from Silvana, as if she would have looked it from there. I had to give up during the test, after a punch with the strength of 154,5 lbs had punched me. I remembered still today, the feeling after that, in my stomach. The punch of Silvana gave me the same feeling, but a little stronger. At the pre contest, I had to give up, because I could not take anymore strength. Today, I could take more. Ok, her punch was harder, but in the meantime, my stomach had become better and much harder. It was heavy, to put away that punch, but it worked. Then, I did my 3rd punch. I wanted to give everything, completely everything, in order to show her, that she should not underestimate me. And so, I also did it. I took so much swing and rammed my fist, this time, into her left stomach side. Her whole upper body inclined strongly to the left and a short moaning-sound came from her mouth. She, immediately, stood uprightly again, but she still held her left stomach musculature, with her hands. Then, her 3rd punch. Also she took a lot of swing. For more swing, she turned her upper body to the side. As I saw that, I pressed another extra strength portion into my stomach. Also she hit into my left side, but much harder. I completely folded in and had to go, even a little, into the knees. That was a punch, of such a impact, I had never gotten it until today. If my organs were loose under the left stomach side in the body, with that punch, Silvana would have fired then out of my mouth. MAN, I did not only have to moan deeply, I also had to snap for air. I was really thinking, to give up. The punch had destroyed me fully. My partner saw, how I knelt down on the ground and called to me, that I should get up. Keep on continuing, he shouted furthermore to me. Yeah, he could easily say that. I would have seen it with pleasure, how he would put away such a monster punch. I could get up slowly again and the referee told us then, that there would be still time for a further stroke. I wanted to use this chance, very well. Like Silvana before, I took then also as much swing, as I could get. My fist hit her fully in the gut, a little on the left side there. Also her reaction was then, after all, more clearly and more satisfactorily to see for me. I had hit her so good, that she, actually, lift up from the ground, a bit. Her feet, lost very shortly, the contact to the ground and she made 2 steps backwards. Also, from her mouth, came then a bigger groan. While Silvana was getting up again, the referee meant then, that the minute would be over. But, Silvana would be still allowed, to make also a punch, so that every woman had done 4 punches. Oh man, I thought then only, I do not want one more. She was also allowed, to do one more?! OMG, she would punch me out of the ring, how she looked at me. She put on a nasty smile. I had to pump, already in this 1st round, completely all of my strength and defendness into my stomach. I needed everything, even more than everything. And, like I had already foreseen it, Silvana could still punch harder. I also gave, in fact,my absolute best, but Silvana also. And she could give more, than I. So it came then. Her fist, in my stomach. You must think, that we both, stood, at this last punch, in the middle of the ring. After that punch, only Silvana stood still there. I was then standing only a few inchs from the ropes away. It was an incredibly hard punch. It was, as if she would have punched a hole in my stomach. It also felt, like that. I cried out my pain. I had also lost the contact to the ground. Nearly, still with her fist in my gut, my whole body flew up to the ring ropes. As I had then again ground contact, I immediately went into the knees. I could have cried, so big became the pressure in my stomach. The referee told us then, to go into our corners, for the break, to round 2. My partner came immediately into the ring and had a look at my stomach. The last two hits of Silvana were absolute full impacts. Very, very darkred marks and a slight swelling. My partner pressed shortly onto one of the marks. I simply had to pull myself, so that I did not cry again. He asked me, if I could put away that pain. I could not say so much, but I simply had to put it away. What a shame would that be, if I would give up after the first round. I did then something, which sounds for normal people really crazy. I told my partner, to punch on the 2 most painful marks on my stomach. He should do this with moderate strength and 3 times. He also thought first, I would be totally crazy. But as I said him then, that this would hardened my stomach more and I would get more crossed. I absolutely wanted that and he also did that then. He hit 3 times on every red mark. I had to clench my teeth, in order to endure the pain. If I now think back, I can say, that this was the correct decision. It did not make me angrier, but after that, I could find better into the match. How does one say: You must fight pain with more pain. 2. Round: Even if you could notice all my pains, I went to the ring middle, as if nothing had happened. Silvana had recovered from everything. She came, really satisfied, to the ring middle. The referee gave the sign for the fight. I clenched my fist and rammed it onto Silvanas bellynavel. To attack immediately aggressively was my target. I would not have many chances, against Silvana, therefore, I had to use everyone. Before Silvana could react, I started a punching series. Ok, if you punch so quickly behind each other, you can not punch with full power, but so, I could hold Silvana under control. As more I hit her, Silvana shaked with her body. Then she began, to do the first steps backwards. I punched more and more. The more her body shaked, the more she made steps to the right or to the left. I always wanted, that my fist went into Silvanas gut. But when Silvana was making these stepps to the left and to the right, they came for me so surprisingly, that my fist hit not her gut, but hit more into her stomach sides. Then, the time came, where Silvana could not stumble more further back and forth, because her body pressed itself against a ring rope. As she did that, I intensified my punches. I only concentrated them on her stomach sides. And in fact, like, in her fight against Magret, there she was hurtable. During the whole time, Silvana tried to defend herself. She always wanted, to hit back and I could always get away. I was, considerably, more light-footed and faster than Silvana. That was my advantage. But she had the much better strength advantages. Because I was more light-footed, I could get, very well, her punches out of the way. When she was then so leaned against the ring rope and I punched her only into her stomach sides, her defense became increasingly more aggressive. I stood directly before her and punched. But in this position, she was also able, to make a few hits, into my stomach sides. But I kept on punching. From punch to punch, I lost then slowly my strength in my arms. To do still hard punches, I had to get new strength from somewhere. My brain determined then, to get the strength from my ABS, speak, not to flex my stomach anymore. I did not let my whole felxion off, but I could succeeded, that I got then new strength for further hard punches. My stomach was then a little softer and more hurtable, because of that. While I was continuing, Silvana could land then further punches into my stomach sides. 2 of her punches, went nearly onto that area, where Silvana had already destroyed my stomach in the first round. Her 3rd punch then, hit fully on that mark. She did not have the chance, to hit me so hard, therefore I could put away all punches of her easily. But, that 3rd punch then was painful. She had hit very exactly onto the place, at which I felt still the most pain. Immediately, I went 3 steps back, because the pain was too great. But, in this case, I still had luck. Silvana could not attack me furthermore. And something better, she fell onto the ground. Because of my long punching series, I could press her against the ring ropes. When I stopped then this series, she fell immediately down. After that, Silvana went into the knees and held her stomach. She also groaned and murmured something to herself. I also held, with my hands, onto the place, where I felt so much pain. Up to the gong, noone had done something other. 3. Round: In the break did not happened so much. We both had used the time, to recover from the last round. We went then again to the ring middle and Silvana did, immediately, a punch. So fast her punch was, I could recognize very fast, where she wanted to punch me in the stomach. She had picked out the place, at which I felt my maximum pain. I could turn my upper body a little to the side, but I could not prevent, that her punch still hit me. But, her punch did not hit me on the place in my stomach side, where she wanted to hit me, her punch hit me then then fully on the bellynavel. Even, if the punch was not weak, but I could take him very well. I felt, that her fist pressed in deeply in my stomach, but more did I not feel. That gave me the occasion to do also a punch. I could hit her into her stomach side and had found there the right place, very exactly. Silvana did not lift off from the ground, but she did a step back. Immediately, I kept on punching. Then I changed the aiming area and hit her in the lower area of the ABS. How iron-hard her ABS at some other places were, so softer was he in the lower stomach. There, I could press in my fist very deep. Repeatedly, I hit her with full impact. The 5th punch fit then, in a so hard way, that, while my fist was still being in her stomach, Silvana lifted off from the ground. Looked like this then. In the first part, where my fist already hit her very hard in the stomach, her upper body inclined, immediately, forward, into these 90 degrees' position. While her upper body was doing this, my fist kept on pushing in furthermore into the lower area of her stomach. In this position, I practically lifted off, only with my fist, her whole body so, that her body went up from the ground, only a few inches. When I pulled out the fist from her stomach, I wanted to punch again. I could not do that, because Silvana fell on the ground. That she fell, is not correctly said. She fell so, that she ended in such a cat position. She knelt down onto her knees and hands. Between that, her back was so curved, like a cat's arched back. Then, immediately, I remembered something. After my first fight, I had looked live at 2 fights, of the next higher weightclass. There, one woman resulted in exactly the same position. The victim had knelt down herself just like the same like Silvana and the punching woman, had then kicked her, with full impact, from below into the stomach. That this was then a hard action, could you then see at the reaction of the victim. I decided, to do that then also. Therefore, I positioned myself so, that I could get from my standing position, so much swing, to step from below into the stomach from Silvana. I had to do this kick very quickly, so that Silvana did not have any chance, to cover her stomach with the hands. If that happens, I have to stop, because I were not allowed to step onto her hands. I succeeded then also and could do 2, incredible hard steps. There was an enormous strength behind those steps, because after every step, her curved body bounced up. You could also hear it. No scream, but a big sigh, came out of Silvanas mouth. Unfortunately, I could only do these 2 steps. After them, it was possible for Silvana, to cover her stomach with the hands. Even, if it were only 2 steps, those ones had it in themselves. As I kicked into Silvanas stomach, it was nearly so, like as if I would feel the punch by myself. Then I saw, that Silvana did not completely cover her stomach. In a fast as lightning way, I asked the referee, if I might could kick in this small, but free area. I wanted to protect myself, with that question, before I would get a warning. But he did not say anything against that, he only nodded. Because Silvana still stayed in this cat position, I used this possibility quickly and kicked her repeatedly, into the free side. It were 3 very tough steps, before Silvana fell to the side on the ground. In that moment then, the gong sounded and I went into my corner. Somehow, it was simpler against Silvana, than I thought. I lay 2 rounds in front and my stomach had not get so much. In my break, I still remembered something. The one place in my stomach side, still hurted a little. After the first fight against Sarah, I had met Sarah once again in the longer break. I had asked her then, how she felt. Her coach was together with her. They told me then, that they have such a gel, which you put on the painful painful places. Through that, the pain does not go totally away, but it would ease the pain a bit and it would be better to endure the pain. When I felt my pain then, I told my partner, that he should search for the fight of Sarah, then, to go there and to ask Sarahs coach, if he could borrow some of this gel, for me. Simultaneously, he could then also look, how Sarahs fight would run. Was also not unimportant for our group scoring. My partner understood, what I meant and went immediately away. 4. Round: Up to the beginning of the 4th round, my partner was not back, but I did not need him so urgent. During the break, I had, the whole time, observed Silvana. Even, if she still did a grimming face, You could see, that my punches and steps, were absolutely not for nothing. When she got up, I saw, how her facial expression changed painfully. Again, this scene, I remembered from my fight against Sarah. There, I had also that painful face in 2 rounds. The pain comes then from the lower area of the stomach. You felt then a strong drawing, when the upper body must get up. For me was that a sign. If I would have furthermore then the chance, to hit her, then I have to punch onto her lower stomach area. We were allowed, to start immediately with punching, after the gong sounded. I went quickly towards Silvana, as I saw, that she went up painfully. She just did not stand full upright, there she already had gotten her first punch. How I wanted, I punched her in the lower stomach. Immediately, Silvana sighed. I let a few further punches follow. Then, Silvana sank, in her corner, on the ground. When she was on the ground, I took my right leg and rammed in, into her lower stomach. I did not do a further kick after that, only pressed my leg, increasingly more deeper, into her stomach, so deep I could. She attempted, with her arms, to pull out my leg, but without having success. She attempted then, to hit me into my stomach. My upper body was bent a little forwards, in my position, but her fist did not close enough into my stomach. Repeatedly, I intensified the pressure of my leg in her stomach, while I, myself, was pulling out my foot oof her stomach. I did not pull out my leg totally, only so much, that I had then the chance, to press it again into her stomach, with a lot of new strong pressure. I did that a few times and Silvana approved that. It was incredible to see, how quickly, Silvana gave up in my actions and only tried to surrender them. Was she already too weakened from her first fight? But she also had 3 hours break, between the 2 fights, to recover. I did not know, but somehow, the match went too simply and too onesided for me. This peressing in from my leg brought indeed a success, but not a so hard one. I thought then of another move. I grasped her at her feet and pulled them so long, until Silvana laid long stretched on the ground. Silvana noticed that immediately and laid her complete arms onto her stomach. The referee gave me the sign, that it would then be not allowed to punch or kick her. Therefore, I kept on thinking about a new move. A next idea came to me very immediately. I pulled her whole body so long, until I had her in the ring middle. Then, fast as lightning, I sat down on her very lower belly area and thigh. I teared off her arms, that was allowed. I placed one arm of her under her abdomen. Through my additional body weight, what pressed then also on her abdomen, I could hold that arm then under that. I grasped the other arm and held him very strongly. Of course, Silvana wildly attempted to get her arms free. But I could keep the control. After that, her stomach was free and immediately, I took my free left arm and punched, a whole series, into her lower stomach. Several sighs came from Silvanas mouth. It seemed, like if every punch was a full hit. Silvanas efforts, to free out of that position became increasingly more extreme, but I still could held her in this position. She only reached, with her extreme defendness, that she interrupted my punch series. I had not counted my punches in the match, but it must have been so around the 20-25 hits. Mostly, just directly under her bellynavel, or besides the navel. Then, the gong sounded again and I had to go up from her. When I went to my corner, I saw, the then more difficult walk of Silvana, in her corner. In the meantime, also my partner was back again. He had gotten the gel, borrowed from the coach of Sarah and could tell me also then, that Sarah, leaded with 2:1 rounds against Magret, in their match. It was somehow very crazy. Sarah and I, we both had to fight against much stronger opponents and we both were leading after 4 rounds, Sarah with 2:1 and I already with 3:0 rounds. 5. Round: While I was rubbing my stomach with this gel, I observed again Silvana and her attempts, to get her stomach fit again. But she had gotten already some more punches. She had, at the beginning of our match, looked so cool and provoking. That was, after that 4th round, all over. You just could say, I had punched, her coolness, out of the stomach. But, in spite of my various hard punches and kicks, her stomach was still looking iron-hard. You could see that at every breath of her. Then the sign for fighting came from the referee. Again I saw, that Silvana got up from her chair very painfully, and again I went very purposefully towards her. But this time, she reacted more quickly and made a few steps to the side. I was fast going, but I did not walk against the ring post, I was only shortly distracted. Silvana could not even use this situation, in order to do herself a punch. But she was gone out of the way of my punch. After that, I again wanted to punch her, but she again get out of my way. Then, we decided, to observe us. Like at a Sumo Fight, we stepped in the ring middle, around each other. We both had flexed our stomachs onto the maximum. When I looked then, a little more directly onto her middle ABS, I was very shortly unconcentrated. But no wonder, if you have a look at such a ABS. But Silvana noticed, that my eyes were shortly distracted, they I stared on her ABS and used this chance to give my stomach a unbelievable punch. It was again such a punch, like she did in the first round. Not absolutely purposeful, but hard enough, that I had to do some steps to the back, through the impact of the punch. On the DVD, you can see, how her fist presses itself deeply in my ABS. The punch was a full hit. For a short time, I had to snap for air. But I could not recover, because Silvana let 2 other, more harder punches, follow. For my luck, those punches, did not hit me in my most painful places. I was amazed, how fast I could put away these punches, also when Silvana did then more and more punches. She did them for so long, until I fell against the ring ropes. I stood still uprightly. Then Silvana attacked me again, with such punches, like such a machine at the pre contest had made. Without great swing, but very aimed and also very, very hard into my stomach. My upper body always bobbed against the ring ropes, but I did not go to ground. I attempted, for my part, to do myself a few punches, into her, very vulnerable, stomach side. I succeeded also doing this and you could see, that Silvana felt that very well. But her punches were much better. There, I noticed again, that Silvana has absolut the better strength advantages in her arms. I noticed, how the resistance of my stomach decreased and how Silvana landed even better hits through that. But, I still could be glad, that she did not hit me in my most vulnerable places. All in all, it became, indeed, increasingly heavier to take her punches, but I had to take them. I still had an advantage in that match, because I had won more rounds. Self, if Silvana would win that round, I would still have advantages. I would say, that Silvana was, after that round, still more groggy, than I. During her hard punching series, the gong sounded then. Silvana went quite loosely into her corner and I, a bit weakened, into mine. Ok, she had done some very good and hard hits, but she maintain had hit me on places, where my stomach was still very resistable. She had weakened those areas then, ok, but not destroyed them. The resistance at those place were long not over. My stomach was not so weak, she should know that. 6. Round: Nevertheless, in order to recover a bit, I rubbed then the complete stomach, with that gel. While I was doing that, my partner stood before me, so that Silvana or her coach could not see anything. I also told then my partner, to hit me another 4 times onto the hurting places, at my stomach side. He did this and in fact, I felt much less pain, than always before. The gel was in fact very good. Ok, the punches of my partner were not so hard, like those from Silvana, but my partner, only should hold my stomach, a little resistable. Then the gong, for the beginning of the 6th round, sounded. I still led with 3:1 rounds and wanted to increase my lead, again, in the 6th round then. I wanted to get up very fast and to went very quickly towards Silvana, but during the getting up, I felt a good drawing in my stomach middle. It did not hurt there, but it sure hindered me, to get up very quickly. I saw Silvana coming up to me, but I could avoid. With backsteps, along the ring ropes, I walked and Silvana followed me. When I had walked like this nearly one ring round, Silvana wanted to punch me again. She leaned, in this case, far forward and wanted to punch into my stomach middle. Very quickly, I pulled in my stomach and clenched myself my fist. Without hesitating, I rammed my fist, into the open right stomach side of Silvana. I had not aimed at all, or hit in a very hard way, but Silvana made a big sigh. She did then 2 steps to the back. I was a little surprised, about her reaction. I must have hit a place, where she felt so much and I did not knew that. But then, I knew it and kept on punching. Because Silvana was shortly unconcentrated, I was able to continue. Directly, I rammed 3 more extremely hard punches into this stomach side. And in fact, there, she was extremly vulnerable. She not only tried to avoid my punches, no, she absolutely ran away. It nearly looked so, as if she would be afraid of me then. I attempted again and again, to hit exactly on these place. A few times, I also succeeded in it. But mostly, she stood always far away and I hit only moderately on that place. The 6th round ended then quickly, because I only ran and hunted her, in order to keep on punching. Then came the gong. I was disappointed. Ok, I, indeed, could decide this round for me, but could not punch her so much. But ok, those punches I had done, were very much painful for her stomach. While I was going again satisfied into my corner, Silvana went groggy into her corner. She held, the whole time, her stomach side. Then, something surprising, happened in Silvanas corner. The coach asked the referee to come to them and both spoke something. I could not understand it exactly. Then, the referee came to me and said, that the break would be 2 minutes longer. The reason would be, that the coach from Silvana had asked him, to get a short treatment break. I was confused, that one could apply for something like that. The referee declared then, that one can do that, if he finds that useful. He had approved that, because an old injury at Silvanas stomach get opened. That was a injury, she had gotten months before and was then open again, because of my punches. The referee did not want to decide a give up for Silvana, because the coach of her told him, that he were able to solve the problem. But, if it should not be able to carry on, after that 2 minutes, it would be a giving up of Silvana. I still asked him, how I might continue then. If I could keep on punching onto this place? The referee did not say anything against that. He would wait the 2 minutes and will observe Silvana, the next rounds, very exactly, whether it would be possible for her, to take, on that place, further punches. Ok, because of the reason, that I still was allowed to keep on beating on that place, in Silvanas stomach, it was then a very good advantage for me. If, in fact, Silvana felt there a lot more, I could force her then very quickly into a giving up. I only must hoped then, that the referee himself will observe the match very well. I did not want to hurt her there, so that she would get serious problems then. On the other hand, it was for me the chance, to decide the match quickly. Finally, the referee had also allowed me, to hit her on that place again. 7. Round: Because, I had then also 2 minutes break, I asked my partner, that he should do again, such a pain check, like the rounds before. He should punch me deeply, in various places of my stomach, so that I could find out, where I would feel more or less pain. That was then the optimal test, in order to find out, where I would have to invest the most strength, so that Silvana could not weaken me there more. But for my astonishment, I had to notice, that there was only one place, where I felt a little more painful pressure which, but I could life, very good, with that pain. Very satisfied I started then the 7th round. Nothing hurts me, I was top-fit, I had a 4:1 rounds advantage and Silvana was in a painful situation. What does one want more?! Then, the referee went, once again, into Silvanas corner and asked there, for the state of the things. Silvanas coach said, she can go on with the match and the referee said then to the jury, that the fight will be continued. Immediately, the gong sounded. I went to the ring middle and saw, that Silvana got up, in spite of the longer break, only slowly and made still a very painful face. I did my first punch. Very aimed and very hard, exactly there, where she felt the most pain. A deep sighing came of her. I wanted to keep on, 2 punches, but she nearly could avoid both times. I hit, but my fist went only a bit deep and aimed into her stomach. But Silvana felt it fully, at every punch. Silvana did not stand far away from the ring ropes. With a massively hard punch, I wanted to give her then the rest, that she must give up. And my next punch was massivly hard. You could still hear her outside of the building. For Silvanas luck, she turned her body a bit, before my punch went into her stomach and so the punch went only into her gut and not into her painful stomach side. Nevertheless, the punch hit her with full impact. Through the impact, Silvana bounced against the ring ropes. But, instead of sticking in the ring ropes, her bouncing was so strong, that her whole body banged, on the way back, against me. With the impact of the back-bouncing of Silvanas full muscular build body, she banged so against me, that I had to do some steps to the back. But, I did not fall down. Nevertheless, that situation turned that round. Because, I was so surprised from what had happened, I was simultaneously also a little distracted. As I was again concentrated, I felt already an enormous pressure, in my stomach middle. This pressure came of Silvanas fist. She had immediately seen, that I was so surprised and had immediately done a punch. She kept on, with punches below the navel. My upper body fell forward. Silvana reacted immediately and she punched me, her knee, 3 times into the stomach. After the knee, she kept on with hard punches, always from below punched into my stomach. I could not flex my stomach, so, how my upper body hanged forward, therefore, I felt the whole pain of her punches. As next, I noticed, how Silvana pressed my back so down, that it was impossible for me, to get up into a normal stand. She punched then so hard in my stomach, that I lost, every time, the contact to the ground. I, myself, could exactly see, how I lifted off many inches from the ground. That were tremendous punches, with an inconceivable impact. You could see that, cause I always lifted off, from the ground, very highly. Silvana did not made any other action then. Either, she punched me, with her fist or her knee, fully in the stomach. I could, indeed, prepare me, more and more, onto the punches, nevertheless, it was an incredible power each time, what pressed into my stomach. Then the gong came and Silvana let off from me. Although Silvana could be satisfied, she went, a little grimly, back in her corner. The first superhard punches of Silvana, had already hurted me a little, but I could put away them. 8. Round: I had a little look at my stomach and felt then also, how, exactly the stomach middle, had swollen a bit. It did not hurt, you only felt, how hard everything had become there. Therefore, Silvanas punches had left some marks behind. Then, it went on. The 8th round began and how it began. Silvana was very inspired from her small comeback, in the last round. She went very quickly towards me and before I got up myself, I laid already on the ground, in my ring corner. She had hit an incredible punch in my stomach. I fell then immediately to ground, or better say, I sat on the ground. She let several steps follow. Yes, ok, and then, then one could say, I was more than in trouble. Because these steps, WOW. Which strength was behind that, incomprehensible. So, in the corner sitting, it was not possible for me to flex my stomach fully. So, like I did it with Sarah, in our match, so, also Silvana caught my legs then and pulled me into the ring middle. Without letting me loose, she kicked, with an enormous impact, directly further in my stomach. One must consider, that her legs, were, by far, not so muscular, like her upper body. There, one can imagine then himself, how hard, her punches were. She kicked always, directly into the stomach middle. I went easily, with my shoulders and head, high up and could so flex my stomach a bit stronger. I felt all the pressure, but could put away this pressure. Nearly, I would say, it was fun, to watch Silvana, how she gave everything, but I, on my side, could take all. But, I had been pleased too early. When Silvana saw, that her steps, hit indeed, very purposeful, but not too deep and hard, she put on another shovel of strength. And this shovel was absolutely beyond this world. Yes, then it became a lot of heavier for me to resist against her steps. Every further step went increasingly deeper in my stomach and gave me so much pain. Then, Silvana also used my stomach sides for her painful testing steps. The tests brought her good successes. I felt much more, in my stomach sides, than in the stomach middle. But, I was still wondering, how good, I could put away all these things. Ok, I already felt a vehement pressure and pain, but you only noticed it and kept on flexing. It seemed, that Silvana had founded then her successful formula. Her steps were clearly to feel. I only noticed then, how her steps became still more harder. After 4 more steps, she was able to intensify the pressure once again, but I also could keep on giving my best, better said, to keep on my defendness. Then the gong sounded. First, when I got up then, I felt, that my defending was only a bit good. I felt then a very strong drawing in my stomach. Felt, like if the whole stomach would totally separate itself. I must also honestly say, that I went, in a little bent position, into my corner. 9. Round: But, I still had the advantage. That was my great motivation. I had gotten, indeed, so much more, but it was my believing, that Silvana must do a lot more, to bringt me over my limit. I felt pressure, but giving up, oh no no, still not the time for that. So, we started and like always, I could do the first punches. With all strength, I could find, I hit on Silvanas most painfulst place. She, immediately, also sighed then, but showed me too, that those punches did not impressed her so much. My target was, to win this round, so that I had won then 5 rounds. That would be then the victory, in every case. I must only have to see then, that she did not get me me into a giving up. But it would be then only one round left, I must then only survive that 10th round. Anyway, in this 9th round, I could use the beginning, to weaken Silvana again. She attempted, very hard, to defend and it was still incredible to see, how iron-hard her ABS still was. I did not disconcerted and kept on beating her, until I had her in the ring corner. As she was caught there, she pushed me away, with full impact. That pushing was so strong, that I fell on the ground. Immediately, I got up again, but Silvana grasped me at the arms and pressed me into the ring ropes. Then, 5 insanely hard punches, into my lower stomach, followed. These punches were so hard, that my body middle was shifted between the uppest and the middle rope. That was the first time, where I also must groan very loud. Those punches were already much more harder, than all before. After the 5th punch then, she pulled me into a ring corner. With her left arm, she grasped me at my chin and held my head to the back. With her right arm, she beat me then in my stomach. Already, after the first punch, my body wanted to slide down, along the ring post. But that did not work, because Silvana held me so at my head, that I could not slide down. The coming strokes were then..., I have no words for that. I will try, to explain it like this. Imagine, a normal athletic woman, with a flat stomach and standing like me against the ring post. Would she then get such punches, like I got from Silvana, OMG, those punches would go through her stomach, better said, Silvana would hit a hole in her stomach. These punches of Silvana were a perfect example, how our stomaches, from all competitors, were trained. Every ABS has a certain muscle mass. At a normal trained stomach, muscle mass would be already there, but when I saw my stomach, or those from other competitors, you can see a big difference, between normal and hard trained. Because of the fact, that I easily could show more muscle mass in my ABS, than in a normal stomach, I could absorb these punches. Silvana had no chance to punch a hole into my stomach. But these hammer-hard punches felt and looked like this. As, if Silvana would have pressed all organs beside and first the spine in my back, could stop her fist. That was then very massive. I, sure, attempted, to defend myself with my arms, but Silvana had everything under control. Her punches became more harder, but, instead of beating into my stomach sides, she concentrated her punches on my stomach middle. There, I could put still a little more resistance. Then, a unbeliavable punch came in my gut. Then, everything was over. No, no, no giving up, but I totally lost my strength, to flex furthermore. My resistance was fully broken. I had to moan very loud, because the punch, had activated an insane pressure. I could no more. While Silvana was keep on punching in my gut, I only still waited for the noise of the gong. My body became then so heavy, that it was also for Silvana so difficult, to keep on holding me in that upright standing position. Also, my partner looked at me, as I was so in need and shouted "Hold on, simply hold on!" I could not do anything anymore. Her punches were so intense, I can not describe it. I could be really glad, that my muscle mass in the stomach prevent a worse hurting. Without any resistance, I let Silvana keep on punching. Not only the strength for flexing left me, my whole body was weak then. Then, Silvana let my head a little off, so far, that my upper body then inclined forward, but I still not fell on the ground. My upper body was nearly 45 degrees bent forward. Silvana kept on beating, even more harder, still in the gut. I went into the knees, but Silvana did not stop. Hold on, hold on, I only said the whole time to myself. Then the gong came. Silvana let me go and I banged with the head onto the ground. Not so hard, but I did not come up anymore. My partner ran to me and helped me then, to stand up. He took me then to the corner. Also, the referee came immediately to me and asked, if I could continue or not. But I did not want to give up. Ok, Silvana had then won also 4 rounds, but I still did not want to give up. Somewhere, somehow, I still saw a very little chance. My partner asked then the referee, if we also could get a longer break. After a short talk, between my partner and the referee, he gave us a whole minute. OMG, what a pressure and feeling that was in my gut. It was such a feeling, as if still an enormous strength pressed into my stomach. At every, so little breath, I felt this massive pressure. No pain, only pressure. My partner checked the place, where I felt this pressure. You could really say, he maybe had burned his hand, so hot was this place. Even only this short tasting, occurred then to me so, like if Silvana would do a massive punch. I also noticed, that my stomach, fought hard, against this pressure. Convulsively, my stomach bent towards forwards and backwards and did not calm down. To be on the secure side, I told my partner once again, to cream my whole stomach, with this gel. 10. Round: I only still had these one chance, these one round. When I went up, my partner still whispered to me, that, self, if this round would be the same hard, like the round before, I absolutely should not give up. Through giving up, Silvana would get 3 points, through the normal victory only 2. But, if it were absolute impossible to keep on going, I should simply give up then, in order to avoid a injury. Finally, he whispered then, I should give all, I could win and that he would be gigantically proud about me. Sure, was that very motivating, but my stomach still writhe for pressure, when I got up. I wanted to safeguard the advantage immediately and went stubbornly towards Silvana. With the left arm, I protected my stomach and I clenched the right one to a fist. I punched, but hit Silvana not hard enough. She punched and hit into my stomach side, which I could not protect. Even, if the punch was very hard, I could resist it. Again, I attempted to hit her in a hard way. Succeeded also, in my opinion, but I missed the perfect reaction of Silvana. Also Silvana kept on, also she wanted to decide this round for herself. But I could put away also her punch then. Then, I was again on the line. I hit her then better and more purposefully. She winced shortly, but I could not keep on punching. Her upper body had inclined shortly forwards. When she stood uprightly again, I wanted to keep on, hbut Silvana was faster. Her punch hit me then clearly better. She was then able to keep on, with 2 more punches. But, she did not have the chance, to hit me in my gut, because I had covered him with my left hand, but the rest of my stomach was far open, for punches. Again, she pushed me to the ring ropes and again, she gave me there 2 punches, with which my stomach middle was shifted through the ring ropes. I could avoid her 3rd punch, turned my body from the ropes away and hit her hard into her stomach side. Through that, she stood then before the ropes and I hit her, with highest expenditure of energy, in her lower stomach. I could not hit her so hard, so that her stomach also went through the ropes. Silvanas coach shouted: Go, go, keep on, hit her, you have only still this round. But, in that moment, I had her under control, until I felt again a drawing in my stomach. It was nearly like a cramp. The drawing was so strong, that I must went into the knees. Silvana looked a little confusedly, because I did not hit anymore, as I had her so under control. She reacted immediately. With both hands, she pressed easily on my body and I completely went to ground. Immediately, Silvana took over the control and stretched my body. But I made it, to turn my body so, that I laid then, fully stretched on the ground, but on my stomach. Silvana raged and kicked me then into my stomach sides. But she could not make so many steps, because the gong sounded, for the end of that last round. I could stand up alone and went into my corner. Silvana and I stretched our hands high up, in order to celebrate the victory. We both made, in that position, a very painful face, because we both felt this strong drawing in our stomaches. But, we both thought, that we have won the last round. Then the referee went to the jury and the got the total results of the match. How I thought, we both had won 4 rounds after the 9th round. The 10th round was important. And that was unbelievable crazy. 2 of the 3 judges had seen Silvana in front, but only with a very small advantage. The 3rd judge had voted for me. But it stood then 2:1 judges and so, the round was given to Silvana and so, she had won with 5:4 rounds. Of course, I was more than disappointed, but I had to accept this result. I went then to Silvana and congratulated her. Then, something unexpected happened. She said to me, that she would have respect for me and that I would have a incredibly strength. That she had rarely such a opponent. I must add, that this was already her 3rd championship. Of course, I replied her also respectful words, but I still was very disappointed. When I now see, on the DVD, the single actions of Silvana, WOW, I was really able to resist against them? And at the end, I could take so much? Really, WOW. If you see, how she nearly throw my stomach through the ring ropes, much respect, that I put away that. Only yet, I also recognize my screams and the groan better, just the same, like the crying of the people outside. You truly, recognize that all not in the match. You are either so concentrated, to do punches or steps, aimed and hard, or you try, to defend, with all your strength, the punches or kicks from your opponent. Nevertheless, even if I have taken everything, the limit, what my stomach can resist, was crossed. I had expected, that Silvana has an incredible strength and that had she exactly shown me. I still remember a little while ago, directly after this match. While I was going into our training rooms, I could go, the whole time, not uprightly. I had to go crooked, because that was my only chance, not to feel the whole pain and pressure. When I did then my relaxing-crunches, I felt enormous cramps. But I wanted to do the relaxation and made the crunches. Self, hours later, I still felt a tremendous pressure, particularly in the gut. The other match, of Sarah against Magret, went also over 10 rounds. At the end, Sarah had won, with 6:3 rounds. Our group was now totally equal. I was still on place 1, because I had 3 points. All other ones had now each 2 points. Therefore, the tension was incredible, before the last group matches. Even Sarah had still the chance, to become 1st. But Sarah had Silvana in the last fight, that is the statistically weakest against the strongest. I held Sarah for not so weak, but against Silvana, no, she has zero chance. I know, that some punches of me, had pushed Sarahs stomach above the limit and at the end, she also had to give up. And, if you compare my punches, with those from Silvana, no, no chance. Silvana has much more strength. Would Silvana hit Sarah the same, like me, than her body went through the ring ropes, outside the ring. Or when I think back, as I thought, Silvana would hit me a hole into the stomach. Would she hit Sarah like that, she, in fact, nearly could punch a hole in Sarahs stomach. But not forget, I also had won 4 rounds against Silvana. She had some weak points and she had become even more vulnerable. Everyone had a chance, even if the chance is very small. My match should be more equally. Magrets results of the pre contest are nearly the same, like mine. I could not see an advantage for one of us. Magret had lost 6 rounds in her last match. I have seen the match on DVD. She had also took a lot of pain. She also had to go over her limit. In spite of that, I did not have any advantage, because Silvana had punched me also incredibly. In this last match, it was a question of everything, like also in the match from Sarah against Silvana. The match against Magret was schedulded for 7pm. But, we were informed before, that all matches would begin at 7:30pm. I had thought then for that match, not only, to take my partner with to the ring, but also my best girlfriend. She had also traveled with us, but is not interested in belly punching. Well, she did not have to be interested in that. She should be only with us at the ring, to watch, at some times, how the fight of Sarah against Silvana would run. She should inform me then, in the breaks, but inconspicuous. First, my girlfriend did not want to come along with us to the ring, because she did not want to look at something strange like that belly punching. But, at least, she came then with us. But, she did not come directly to the ring with us, she came to the ring and stayed there, like the other watchers. I was the first woman in the ring and could watch, how Magret came to the ring. When she was in the ring, she put on a sympathically smile and shaked my hand. A massive difference, if you compare the entry of Magret and Silvana. Magret was a very sympathic woman. Then, the usual looking began. We observed, in our thoughts, our stomaches. For that last fight then, I weared a normal bikini with a tracksuit. Magret choose the same clothes. Therefore, we both could recognize any stomach muscles at the other one. In spite of some smaller swellings, still from the fight against Silvana, I could make my stomach, in the long break before, again topfit. Ok, let me say, nearly topfit. Every women, who did then her 3rd match, had taken nearly everthing and was therefore a bit groggy. Also the stomach of Magret had already optical differences. She must have gotten a lot into the stomach sides, because these were darkred and a little swollen. But you also could recognize, that she either must have a damned good genetic at her stomach sides, or that she had done, during the training, many exercises for her side musculature. You could see her swellings there, but you still could see her side muscles and they looked very hard. The rest of her stomach looked better, still looked, as if she did not get too much punching in there. If you took a look at my stomach, it were my left stomach side, but more my gut area, who looked other, than before the contest started. The punches of Silvana, specially on that area, were extremely hard. Sure, the stomach muscles could absorb these punches, but the skin, can that not. I had darkred marks and also a small swelling there. Magrets stomach was like I had thought it. Nearly like mine. She was only a half inch smaller and weighed only a bit less, than I. Her stomach was a little better defined and her ABS muscles were more symmetrical, than mine. But her arms were very, very thin, more thin, like those of Sarah. But, her legs were much more muscular. So, I have to fear much more, steps from her. I knew that also from the DVD. In the fight against Sarah, she had nearly only kicked. Her ABS was general more vulnerable, what I had seen from her other fights. But again, never underestimate someone. Then, the first round began, again with the coin throw, which again I won. I did not know, how to start, so I thought about the easiest punch. I would punch her, very aimed, into her gut, with nearly all strength, I could get. Magret flexed her stomach, and wow, what a view. Some more muscles and veins, which you never had seen before, came out. Already, very impressive. But ok, I wanted to hit her and did not want to start dreaming about her stomach muscles. Therefore, I punched fully in her gut. Uups, was that already too hard for her? Seemed so. I had not given everything at all, but Magret made a few steps back. Then, she bent forward and went into the knees. But it could not be, that I had hit her so well, that she must go into the knees. But she did. But ok, she quickly got then up again and hit me also in my gut. Well, due to her thin arms, it was really heavy to estimate, how much power she had shown me. Honestly said, I did not felt so much of that. I did not have to bend forward either. Ok, it was a punch, but if a feather falls on my stomach, that also is like a punch. That I did not show any reaction, did also see magret then and was very dissapointed. Then, it was my part again. Because of my curiousity, I wanted to test then her stomach side. As she had flexed her stomach, during the last punch of me, more muscles and veins appeared also at her stomach sides. I wanted to test then, how much resistance, all these muscles together, would have. I wanted to test that with full impact. For that, I would use then my stronger right arm and would aim into her right side. If she just had felt so much, after my first punch, what would then happen as next? Ok, I took a lot of swing and saw, that Magret pushed still more strength in her ABS. She did not know, where I would hit her, but she made it, that still, a few more muscles, were to see. Then, BoooOoom, full impact into her right side. Magrets upper body went into a inclined position and simultaneously a little forward. Also this punch of me, had hit her fully into the target area. But one must say, her stomach side was stronger, than her muscles in the gut area. I felt, that my fist, absorbed much better, at Magrets stomach side. Already funny, that a stomach side, where normally not so strong muscles are, is harder, as the main ABS. Then, Magret kept on punching, with much more success, than before. She punched into my lower stomach and I had to bend forward. Yes, that punch was already much harder, but absolutely not to compare with Silvanas punches, absolute not. For the 3rd punch then, I thought, to give everything. I wanted to demonstrate her, how a correct punch has to look. Therefore, everything of power, I can get and that, at the best, in her gut. So it also came then. Her reaction was a little amusing. Before I made the punch, she stood in the ring middle, after the punch, she stood then directly before the ring ropes. I know, that the punch was in fact, all power, I could give, but that I had taught her the flying, was really crazy. As she then, afterwards, bounced against the ropes, she went again into the knees and held her stomach. Also, the referee looked at me a little confused. I mean, in the first match, she was able to withstand the punches of Silvana and then, at my punches, she was already at her limit? Can not be. Or it could be, that she was already too finish, fromt the match against Sarah? But her coach looked also confusedly. He also asked her then, what her problem were. She shaked her head and returned to the ring middle. This whole action had lasted a very long time and the minute had passed by, but she sure was allowed, to do her 3rd punch. Still viewable confused, she took a lot of swing. Because she was doing her punch so confused, her punch went then far, into the outside of my left stomach side, deep into the stomach. Let me say, so 2/3 of her fist was outside of the field, in where she was allowed to punch me and only 1/3 was within the field. What I also felt then. You can believe me, that the judges know very good, why they definied, years ago, the area, on which we were allowed to punch in. And why it was not allowed to punch someone, so far outside of the stomach. After the punch then, I had to bend in totally. So far on the stomach outside, I have no massive stomach muscles, which can absorb such a punch. She hit me deeply into the stomach. She apologized immediately. The referee asked me, how I feel. Because, he also saw, that this was a hard impact. You do not think, to get such a hard and surprising punch, that was already extreme. I also had nearly lost all the air for breathing. I went then into the knees and had to take some deep breaths of air, bevor I could keep on the match. I said then to the referee, that I hardly could keep on. Also Magrets coach came to me and apologized once again, for this punch. Because of the fact, they both had apologized so quickly and I and the referee too, had noticed, that it was not Magrets intention to hit me like that, the referee did not give her a warning. We all know, that she did this punch, because she was confused and not full concentrated. I went then hurtingly into my corner. The referee came, once again, to me and looked at me. He meant then, that he would give me one more minute, to recover. He also said this then to Magret, and she came then in my corner, to see, if everything were ok. 2. Round: Shortly after my 3rd punch, I had seen, how my girlfriend called my partner quietly to hersef. In the break, she told us then, that in the fight of Sarah against Silvana, it would like similar, as in our match. Silvana must taught Sarah also the flying, like I did with Magret. Only differnce, from Silvana you could imagine that. Her punches are not from this world. But who cares. I knew then, on which place, I could hit Magret the hardest, it was her gut. When I got up, I noticed still the pain in my stomach side. Oh yeah, I can tell you, that drawed extremly. But Magrets rising up, was also not without pain. Seemed, that my 3rd punch, had taken her up to the limit. Was funny to see, that we, like 2 old ladies, went so into the ring middle. We looked at ourselves and noone wanted to begin. Like if we would frozen we keep watching ourselves. We both covered our stomaches, as good we can, to protect them for a surprise attack. Then Magret started to walk a bit. I followed her and at least, the match started then. We both tried, to hit the other one very hard, but we both did unsuccessful attempts. And like that, the round continued. Even, if we then had started the match, it was still not the best, what we showed the crowd outside. My partner, as well as also Magrets coach encouraged us. I heard also my girlfriend shouting from the outside. Was unusually to hear her, but also nice. We increased then our aiming. But, if both do that, you will get, still the same result. Noone, could land a full hit. Then the round was over. I did not want to be one of the judges. How would they see this round? Who, in their mind, did the better job? Noone, had doen a perfect hit. Ok, I had 2 little better hits, Magret 1. But none of this hits had showed a bigger effect in the opponents stomach. 3. Round: The 3rd round began, like the 2nd had stopped. Either, we only looked at the other one, or could land weak punches. You really felt, that we fight, in that last match, for everything. We both had still the chance to become 1st in our group and to come then into the quarter final. If you do then the smallest mistake, everything can be fast be over. But, we also could not continued like this, the next 8 rounds. You felt the whole strain, at both of us. Magrets coach nearly despaired and shouted to her: "Start, now start Magret!" But Magret was not alone in the ring. Ok, Magret did then also a little more, but I still was able to avoid. She can beat me so hard and aimed, but if I can still avoid her punches, it will be then all for nothing. But honestly said, I also could not continued like that and also only avoid. I had to show also some more of my skill. And then, something surprising happened. I punched Magret and she, of course, avoided. But my fist went still in her stomach. That was not unusual, that was the whole time so, but in comparson to the last punches, Magret was then not able to do herself a punch into my stomach. Before, we punched the other one, by turns, I did one, Magret answered. So, it went the whole time. After my last one then, she found no answer. I did not hit her fully, not aimed, but I could use that chance, in order to take over the control of this 3rd round. What I also did then. With, then now hard and purposeful punches, I pushed her into her own ring corner. Magret was unable to answer to my punches, so I intensified the hardness. But then, before I could start a series, the round was over. 4. Round: We both went to the ring middle and this time there was no observing, of the other one, no, I started immediately and hit her hard into the gut. Through the impact, she made a few steps back. I thought, I would have her then under control, but she had a plan B. During this stepping back, she already clenched, invisible for me, her right hand to a fist. When I wanted then to punch again, she was faster. Her fist went into my left stomach site. I went immediately to ground. But not, because the punch was so hard. No, her fist went indeed, fully into the field, in which she was allowed to hit, but this punch had caused a pain, that came from my far outside left stomach side. From there, in which she had beaten me before, unintentional. It was a massive pain, which I felt then, imagine, it forced me, finally, immediately on the ground. Magret did not carry on and looked at me. She looked also at the referee. She was afraid, that her punch was again too far in the left side. She asked that then also the referee. He only said then, that everything was rule-consistent. But she still did not carry on. She could probably also imagine, that I only went to the ground, because I felt the pain again, which came from her mistaken punch in the first round. She also looked a little pity to me. I will say it now yet. During the whole further fight, she never did again a punch or kick into my left stomach side. As I laid then so on the ground, I covered my left side with my hands. First, after one, so to say silence-minute of Magret, she kept on punching. But with much less strength. It seemed, that she simply had too much pity for me. Of course, that honors her, but in such a match, one must not show something like that, you have to concentrate on the match an of winning it. So crazy that sounds, you must not have any pity, but you must rather use the chance, in order to decided the match for yourself. But ok, she carried on then. She kicked into my right side. And how I had presumed it at the beginning of the match, her legs were much stronger than her arms. I still felt, that she did not give everything. But I can say, that these kicks, with little to medium strength, were much harder, as her most hardest punch. But I could take her kicks very well. I was unable to react by myself, so I let her do kicking. The round would then go to her. My left side hurted too much, to do myself anymore. I concentrated on flexing my right side, how hard I can, in order to absorb the kicks better and also concentrated to protect my left side. I succeeded in both very well. Then the gong sounded. 5. Round: During the break, I told my partner, that he should tell my girlfriend, she should look, how the figth from Sarah would run. She should then tell us about it in the next break. He also did that then. At this time, I did not know, that Magret would never hit me again in the left stomach side, therefore I massaged this side, during the 30 seconds break. In Magrets corner it were more dramatically. Her coach did not talk very loud, but I could understand some of their talk. He had said to her, that she must not take consideration onto me. That would indeed not be the correct thing, but the most necessary and best for such a match. She should also hit me in the left stomach side, because there, I would be extremly vulnerable and so, she can force me then into a giving up. He was right, of course, I must admit that. Like I already said, in such a decisive match, one can not show any pity, or any consideration. Magret must have answered him angry, that she would not be so cold. Therefore, both had then a dispute. But then, the 5th round began. While Magret was getting up quickly and coming towards me, I could get up only slowly. My left side did not hurt so much anymore, but it was unable to stand up normal, like if nothing had happened. Magret was then fast in my corner. Before I stand uprightly, I felt her right foot in my stomach. She had kicked me hard. She did not carry on, but pressed me her foot only further deeper into the stomach. During this, I was also pressed against the ring post. I gave everything and flexed my stomach. As I flexed my stomach so intensivly, you could clearly see, how I pressed then her foot out of my stomach. Quite quickly also Magret noticed that and took her foot totally out from my stomach. She immediately kicked then 3 times, very hard. My stomach was indeed still very good flexed, but against those kicks, I stood defenselessly there. After the 3rd kick I fell obliquely to the ground. Magret kicked again. In this position, I could not flex my ABS up to the top. So, I had to admit, that her kicks went deeply in my stomach. Her next kick went then a little in the side, to the right of the navel. A part of her foot was still placed on the middle ABS, the rest was in the side. Again, she did not carry on kicking, but pressed her foot deeper in my stomach. In addition, she increased then the pressure, as she caught the ring ropes in the ring corner and pressed then with 100% of her body weight. Ok, she weighs not so much, that I must get then panic, But I felt her pressure very well. I could not hold the tension so well and so Magret succeeded, that her full body weight pressed down increasingly deeper in my stomach. But Magret felt then, that this move, did not bring her so much. Therefore, she decided, to take her foot out of my stomach and to kick again into my gut. Ok, I must say, she tried to kick into my gut. You must think, if you sit in the corner, like I did, it is heavy to find exactly the area where my gut is. If you punch, that place could be better found, but to kick on there, was nearly impossible. But Magret tried it and sometimes, ok, she hit into the gut, but mostly, her kicks went into the lower area of the gut field. Those kicks, I felt then more clearly. There, I could get already more panic, because her leg strength was absolutely not to underestimate. A lot, very lot stronger like her arm strength. The time came, when I could not longer resist those kicks of Magret anymore. From that moment on, every kick affected me, with full impact. You could hear that also in my groans. Magret, only still, concentrated on her kicking, but like I said before, I never got a kick again into the left stomach side. At the end of the round, I got some easy difficulties with my breathing. Her kicks were so hard, she cut me off the air supply more and more. I had to breathe then intermittently. But then the round was over and Magret went immediately into her corner. First, as I sat correct again on my chair in the corner, I could breathe again better. I felt then also, only another small pressure in the stomach. Indeed, I was hit, but not so hard, as I had presumed. Magret would keep on kicking, to weakened me more and more. But that was then not the only thing, of which I had to think next. My girlfriend came back to the ring and said to my partner and to me, that Sarah would be short for a give up. She had asked some of her team, how the match from sarah would run. They told my girlfriend, that Silvana had hit Sarah, directly from the first round on, damned hard. That she hardly could walk correctly, because of the pains, but that she still wanted to continue. Although, if she had zero chance to win her match. She would attempt everything, but Silvana had destroyed her stomach already. So, the match of Sarah against Silvana, runs therefore, just I had presumed it. Sarah can not resist such punches of Silvana with anything. Sarah is not weak, indeed, her stomach is fantastic and she can resist a lot, but Silvanas punches are too hard. I know it well enough. The problem was then following. If Sarah gave up then early, what was already clear, Silvana would catch the first place. She would have then 5 points, a normal victory against me and the victory, through giving up from Sarah. Magret and I, we both had indeed still the chance, to push her down from the first place, but it would become heavy. Magret had 2 points, her victory against Silvana. In order to come on place 1, she had to force me into a giving up and that earlier, than Silvana would do that to Sarah. But Sarah was already at the end. So, Magret had to force me then within the next or 7th round. And honestly said, I maybe was a little groggy, but Magret had still too much pity for me, in order to, to beat me very hard. I also was able to come onto the 1st place. When I forced Magret into a giving up. A normal victory would not bring me onto the 1st position. But for the giving up of Magret, I could take me time up to the 10th round. Self, if Magret gave up, 2 seconds at the end of the 10th round, I would become 1st. I would have then 2 victories through giving up, therefore then 6 points. But, I did not know, if the team from Magret also knew about Sarahs match and that their match ran for the benefit of Silvana, ran very for the benefit of Silvana. Therefore, I sent my girlfriend again observing. She should again observe exactly, how the match from sarah runs. If Sarah should give up, my girlfriend should immediately inform us then. My girlfriend disappeared then again. 6. Round: But, I then, did not concentrate me furthermore on the possibilities, what may could happen in their fight. For me was only important, how our fight will went on. I should now press on Magret hard, she had a realy weak point in her gut. Magret came then already again to me. I could get up, but this time more quickly and went a little to the side of the ring ropes. Magret reacted very fast. WOW and how fast. As she had gone so straight into my corner, she already had clenched her fist and wanted to punch me. But she saw then also, that I went up that time more quickly and went to the side. In a fast as lightning and surprising way for me, she tried to kick me then. And she, indeed, hit me into the right side. With that, she pressed me into the ring ropes. Quickly she did 2 more kicks. After her 2 kick, I felt, like if I were in the match against Silvana. My stomach middle was shifted through the ring ropes. When my body bounced then a little back, I had to take, indeed, another heavy kick, a very heavy one, but could also place my right fist into Magrets gut. My punch was, surely, very hard, but Magrets kick was much harder. My body bobbed again against the ring ropes and Magret kept on kicking. Again 2 times. The 2nd kick then, was so hard, that I bobbed against the ropes. As I then bounced back, from the big swing against the ropes, Magret did not do a further kick, no, she went onto the side. The bouncing back was so hard then, that I fell on the ground. I laid then long stretchedly, with the stomach on the ground. Magret, immediately kept on kicking, repeatedly, into my right side. Those kicks were so heavy, that she, at every kick, lifted up my upper body. Oh shit, that was absolute crazy. But nothing could disturb Magret. I flexed my stomach, so good I could, but her kicks were still too hard. She made then 12 more kicks, like this, very fast and very hard behind each other. Her 12th kick was then so heavy, that she could turn my whole body, only with the strength of that kick. Immediately, I laid then on my back. I wanted to get up fast, because I knew, that Magret, in every case, would keep on kicking. But I could not stand up. Magret was too fast. She used then my new laying position, to kick me immediately into my stomach middle. There, I still had indeed enough strength to flex my ABS, but I also must say, that in the match against Silvana, I had gotten, in my stomach middle, the most painfulliest punchs and kicks. From match to match, from round to round, the resistance became then more less. At the beginning of a match, you can resist against most things. Through the match then, you will feel the pressure and pain, from behind rounds and matches then immediately. Like also then in this round. Ok, I was still able to put away Magrets first kicks, but not such a long series. Magret coach shouted at her very extremly, that she should kick me much harder, so that I had to give up. I realized then, that also Magrets team knew already about the fight from Silvana against Sarah. They knew, that Magret only would have a chance, to gain the first place in our group, if I would give up in this, or the next round. Only, because of that new situation, Magret taktics changed then in much harder kicks. Defending, was at that time, totally impossible. I gave everything and I also must gave it all. I could absorb some kicks better and some totally not. But I found no possibility, to come against the strength of Magrets legs. Those ones were not so hard, like punches from Silvana, but like I already said, if you feel all the pain from the last matches, than those kicks will be harder, than you think. Would that be the first match of this contest, I sure could absorb these kicks much easier, probably, I could absorb them even complete. But, like in all matches of this contest, the stomach middle is always the mostly and best being hit target. That was at my stomach like that, that was like this at Magrets stomach and also at all other women. We women have such a short break between the matches, a stomach can not totally recover then, the body could simply not do this. I, therefore, tried everything to survive this kicking. But when you feel, that you more and more lost the air for breathing, you know, that you have nearly zero resistance left. Either, you give up then, because you need the air to keep on living, or you start a search for the very last, completely very last reserves. I choose the 2nd alternative, because I did not want to give up. I do not know from where, but from somewhere I still found some reserves. But this reserves were so less ones, that those could resist only against 5 more hard kicks from Magret. I just wanted to lift up my hand, to show, that I wanted to give up, there, my partner shouted to me. "No Lindsay, not give up, try it, resist, there are only another 22 seconds left in this round. Hold on, go ahead, you simply have the strength to resist more!" Yes, he could say that very well He is not lying on the ground and get such a beating. How should I resist another 22 seconds such kicks. Did he know, how much kicks, Magret will do in this 22 more seconds? NO!! But, I do not know why, but I pulled back my hand. The referee already had knelt down next to me and asked me, if I wanted to give up. I could shake my head a bit. But Magret had also seen, that I then, did not want to give up and gave me immediately 4 incredible hammer-hard kicks in my stomach. Because there were no resistance left in my stomach, I had to shout out my feelings. I also did that then. More did not go, I did not want anymore, but I still heard the screams of my partner. Something hindered my hand, to show the referee my giving up. I still can not explain, why I not did this. I closed then my eyes. I wanted to think about beautiful or good things, to defend those kicks better. But I thought nothing. I could not think about something, because every kick of Magret, destroyed every new try of thinking. I can say to you, 22 seconds in such a position, are more than a eternity. I waited, in a longing way, for the noise of the gong. I thought so many times, to give up, but I still did no move, to show this. The referee asked me another 2 times, and 2 times I shaked my head a little bit. And then, at the same time, my partner started counting the seconds down from the 10th second on. That, first finished me then totally. My fight, against the giving up, was already so infinitely long and only 12 more seconds had gone by. 12 seconds, in which I had though 4 times about a giving up. 12 seconds, in which I showed the referee 3 times, that I did not want to give up. 12 seconds, in which I had gotten 7 kicks. From those 7 kicks, all had gone into my gut. 7 steps, which I could not defend with any resistance or flexing. Only skin and a few broken muscles, which completely had no chance to absorb anymore. 7 kicks, which felt, as if Mr. Olympia would hit me with a 65-lbs-Hammer in my gut. And that all, in only 12 seconds! Can anyone tell me, how I then should defend this all another 10 more seconds? Was this competition worth that for me? YES!!!!, he was it. So, my partner counted the seconds down, but not only he. Also the crowd outside counted them down. At 8,6 and 3 seconds, Magret kicked damned hard. She knew, that I would not give up, but she wanted to weaken me much more, so that I would have much to do in the break then. Her very last kick then, at 1 second remaining. Yo, would, the ground of the ring, not build with steel and well protected, there would be then a hole in that. Crazy, absolute crazy, or better said, Magret had become crazy. This kick felt, like if Magret had kicked only onto the ground, without my stomach in between. My stomach, so pressed down, so flat pressed down, like nothing. The pressure of the kick was so massive, that I had to puke some saliva out of my mouth. The gong sounded and Magret went into her corner. I remained lying and opened my eyes again. The referee still knelt down next to me. "Do you want to give up, or must I do that instead of you", he asked me. "NO", I shouted. "Please, I simply can not approve that anymore, I am sorry. I can not risk, that you get a hard injury of a furthermore hitting", he told me then. I kept on lying and my partner came to me. "Lindsay, do you still think, to keep on? You can not take anymore. Look at your stomach." "No, please give not up, please. It can go on, I can still go on. Please, not give up", I begged to the referee. "Sorry, but self your partner thinks that. The risk is too big", the referee answered. "I know, but again, please do not give up. Give me please another round. Will that then become immediately too hard, I will give up, trust me and please no diskussion about it." Then the referee stood up, like also my partner. Both went into my corner and talked. After a few seconds both came back. The 30 seconds break were long over. I noticed that, because I heard the gongs of the other fights and how there then the 7th round started. No gong noise was heard in our match. Magret stayed also in her corner. She could not do anything, as long, as the referee did not make any sign. He knelt down again to me. "I spoke with your partner. That is a great risk now. I let you keep on fighting. You get 3 minutes break, in order to recover somehow. But, as soon as I see in the 7th round, that the risk of an injury becomes too large, I will stop the match. More, I can not do for you, in the moment", he told me then. "Thanks, thanks very much. I trust in you and you can trust me. If I can not anymore, I will give up. Again, thanks so much." The referee and my partner helped me then, to stand up and brought me into my corner. The referee went then to Magrets corner and told them his decission. Ok, I had then 3 minutes to recover somehow. My partner took the gel and creamed my stomach with it. That burned infernally onto my skin, but only a few seconds. Then, that totally cooled off. I attempted to control my breathing. Furthermore, I attempted somehow to relax my stomach, but that one bent towards inside and outside. Every time, I had to bend forward for pain. Those minutes were the most difficult ones, until this time, at the whole contest. Then, also my girlfriend came back and burst out in tears, as she saw me then. My partner asked her shortly, how the fight of Sarah would look and my girlfriend answered among tears, that Sarah had given up in round 6. OMG, I had presume that, but that also meant then, that Silvana was on place one in our group. The chance, that now Magret could become 1st was then also over. Only I still had the chance, if I could force Magret into a giving up. But I should force her, I, where I had negotiated just about my own giving up? Strange, not. Then, my girlfriend came into the ring and stood before me. "Lindsay, oh no Lindsay, your stomach, the right side, my God, everything red, everything thick. That's all such a shit, why you do something like that? Stop it. Oh Lindsay, that will not go away. I can not look at it", she shouted despairs. Yes, sure, her words were correct. My stomach had lost any normal view. Everyone, who too did not make Belly Punching, would now have warned me, to keep on fighting. My stomach looked very bad. But also Magrets stomach was beyond any normal looking, like at the beginning of our match. A BellyPunch Match is not a catwalk. "Mel", that is the name of my girlfriend, "please get out of the ring. Please, stop crying and screaming. You make me nervous. I do not want to offend you, but I can take that, trust me, go out of the ring and stop crying. If I can not anymore, I stop, I promise it to you! But your crying does not help me at all, makes me only more nervous", I told Mel. She went then loud sobbing out of the ring. Of course, I really understand her. I saw myself, how my stomach looked and I can imagine, what a destroyable view that must be for Mel. Then, I asked my partner , to come into the ring. He should taste again over my stomach, to find out where I would feel the most pain. Unwillingly, he did that then. Only a very little, he pressed into my stomach, at different places. You really could not say pressing in to that, what he did. With his thumb, he pressed, only very less, nearly invisible, on my stomach. Yes, there were still some more places, at which I felt more. But with the time, my stomach did not bend more so much and I succeeded in breathing, in a quite normal way. I do not know, what I had thought, to keep on fighting. But, if you are at such a contest, you do not want to give up. There will be completely no more chance and your stomach is deeply hit. But you still continue then. I did this too. Sarah not, she presumably could not take anymore, she had given up. 7. Round: Shortly before the round started, the referee came to me once again. He said again, that he would not accept any greater risk anymore, even if I looked better now. I thanked him another 2 times, for the chance, which he had given me. Really, the 3 minutes break were very helpfully, but during my standing up then, I felt everything still so much clearly. But for my luck, Magret was not allowed to start fighting. Like also in the match against Sarah, we both had first come to the ring middle. First, when we both were combat-ready, the referee gave the sign for the fight. That needed still a few seconds. During this seconds, Magret and I had clenched our right fist. I still had not any chance, it was only still despair. I wanted to hit her into the gut, there she was most vulnerable. Me, you could punch everywhere, if you wanted to bring me into the knees. Then the sign for the fight came and the gong sounded. We both used the full possible swing and rammed our fist, in each of the others stomach. I hit exactly in her gut and Magret hit me on the bellynavel. My punch was so hard and hit Magret so purposeful, that she made several steps back. Magrets punch in my stomach hit me also fully. Like I said before, it did not matter, at where she would punch me and how hard. Even a weak punch, would also hit me fully and so I went then also into the knees. Magret was, for the moment, to far from me away and also too much hit, to keep on punching immediately. My worst second was then, as the referee came to me. He saw me, as I went into the knees and wanted to call out the giving up for me. I stopped him. It was extremely painful, as I stood up so quickly, incredibly painful, but I had to show him, that I was far away to give up. Simultaneously, I also shook, very wild, my head, as a sign, that he should not do anything. He also trusted in me then and watched, how the match kept on going. I went then directly towards Magret and punched her 3, extremly tough punches, into her gut. I kept directly on and did, once again 4 more, until she was caught in the ring corner. But let me tell you something. At every punch, at every step, I felt, that my stomach said to me, that he wanted to give up. Imagine, that my stomach was not punched anymore, but he wanted to give up. That feeling came to me, cause the stomach is the central point of the body and cause of that, you will feel him at every step and punch. It was an unbeliavable feeling after every punch, I did. Therefore, I could not hit Magret, with all of my full strength, because the pains slowed me down a little much, again and again. But I could hold Magret, with my punches, in the corner. She, sure could land then some hits in my stomach. Those punches of her came then, from a kind of defensing position. Cause of that, they were not hard, but I felt them massively in my stomach. But I still held Magret in the ring corner. Then I remembered, what Silvana had done with me, as she held my head back, over the ring post and hit me me then. I grasped then Magret onto her chin and held her head back, over the ring post. Magrets body was stretched fully then. I saw, how she breathed deeply and her ABS was tightened always extremely. I let then many hard hits follow. Yes, she also wanted then to slide down along the ring post, but I could hold her in so stretched position. Her breathing became faster, much faster. You could recognize very clearly, where my fist had always aimed into her stomach. Also Magrets groan became louder. I kept on and on. But my stomach still had too some difficulties. Always, if I got a lot of swing and my stomach had to turn then, it hurted incredibly. It was funny to see, that I had to clench my teeth, although I did so hard punches. I had not counted, but I could land many full hits. You saw it at Magrets breathing, which became increasingly faster. She flexed her stomach and relaxed it. Once, a hard punch hit her very deeply and very painfully and once, it was not so deep. But all in all, you can say, the majority of my punches was then far too hard for her stomach. So it came then also, that I broke her resistance in her stomach. The more I punched her, the louder became the groan of Magret. Then, my partner shouted to me, that the round would be over in 30 seconds. I decided then, to move on with another punching. Like Silvana had done it also with me, I let off Magrets head. She wanted to go to ground, but I grasped her at the hair, so that she stood then bent forwards in the ring corner. I hit her then from below in the gut. Because she still had no more strength, to flex her stomach, she sighed extremely loud after each punch. I hit then so hard, that she always lost the contact to the ground. I raised her whole body up and let her, in this position, the whole time, in this bending forward. Then the gong sounded. I let off from her and she fell down forward on the ground. Her coach went immediately to her and brought she into the corner. As I went back into my corner, I felt also, very clear, my stomach. It was incredible. My stomach wanted to give up, after every step. I had only gotten so less hits, in the last round, but my feeling was, as if I have had such a round like the 6th one. But Magret was then also over her personal limit. You noticed it very clearly, as you saw her bending for pain, in her ring corner. Also, she was then creamed again with this gel and her team tried to motivate her. But we both were over our limits. Then I heard, how Magrets coaches shouted "SHIT". He just had found out, that the match from Silvana against Sarah was decisive. He knew, that Magret now had no more chance to come onto the 1st place. Also Magret had realized that then and bent down. But she got up immediately again, it was only the second of the disappointment. I still had the chance on place 1 and the chance had become again bigger. I only had to force Magret into a giving up and I would be before Silvana, in our group. Magret was now nearly at her end and there were still 3 rounds left. I had to keep on punching much harder. Sure, Magret could still put away some punches or kicks, but not so much more. I also considered then, how she would then fight the next rounds. She did not have any chance anymore to come into the quarter final. Would she give up, in order to go out of the match, with further wounds? Ok, she did not know, how much she had to take in the next rounds. But if she would now give up, she could go out of the match without getting anymore of my punches or kicks. For her, it would be not longer important, who would come into the quarter final. Or would she be such a big fighter, which continue, even if she can not achieve anything anymore. Ok, she could win against me, would be of course a fine end, but through that she only would get onto the 2nd place in our group. 8. Round: OK, then we both knew, what had happened in the other group fight. When we got up then both, to start the 8th round, we had both to sigh deeply. Like two old grandmas we got up and sobbed. Everyone, absolute everyone could recognize, what Magret and I had taken until then. Not only in our own match, but in all 3 group fights together. Synchronously, we stood to ourselves then in the ring middle and immediately, everyone punched the other one, with a massive impact, in the stomach. I did completely not hit her stomach so well. She, indeed, had to go back, but I had not hit her fully. Magret had hit me fully. So aimed and hard, that I went immediately into the knees. Everywhere, pains came directly out again, particularly, a drawing in the whole stomach. I protected my stomach, but Magret hit me in the free right side. I had to breathe out intermittently, I nearly lost the air for breathing. There, I already knew then, that my limit was fully exhausted and reserves, no, I had no more. The referee looked at both of us very exactly, but did not do anything more. Magret used the chance and kept on beating. But you also could see it at her, that it was not easy for her, to do these punches. Because I knelt down, she always must hit me from above, down into my side. Through that, she had to bend forward also a little bit and that hurt her. I heard always small sighs from her mouth. I stayed then in this kneeling position. Ok, her hits were full impacts and guaranteed a additional pain for me, but somehow, I had to stand against them. The pains there, were not so bad, like at other places on my stomach. I felt then, that the strength of Magret decreased and her pains increased. The point came, where Magret had to stop and she also knelt down then. So, we both knelt down against each other. Out of pure despair, I hit then 3 hard punches into Magrets stomach side. The punches were only medium hard, but so hard, that Magret had to groan. In that moment I only thought, that I had to collect somehow all my strengths, for a few more very good punches. Punches, in which I had to put everything, I could get. Because, the moment were there, where also even easy punches in Magrets stomach, brought her more and more to the despair. What could then a really hard fist do then to her resistance?! That all was easy to think. You can not imagine, how heavy it was for me, to do even such punches. Ok, I tried that then and could weaken Magret more and more. After further punches in Magrets stomach side, she fell backwards and lay then on the ground. I saw then a big chance. The position, in which she laid then was optimal. In that laying position, I could kick her from all sides into her stomach sides. But to do this, I had been able to stand up first. Magret herself, also tried to stand up. But it seemed, that she was too groggy, to stand up alone. She attempted and attempted, but without a chance. I attempted also to stand up. I finished that then, but my pains, the drawing overall was incredible. I felt, like as if one would just cut my stomach in the middle. I clenched my teeth. If I would have had concrete between my tooth rows, I would have crushed this concrete during the clenching of my teeth. Now, hours later, after the match, I still do not know, how I finished this standing up. If I now still think back about my pains, while standing up, a cold shower runs me down over the back. But I stood then, and watched, how Magret, again and again, attempted to stand up. Then Magrets looks went onto me. She foresaw very exactly, that I would start kicking her. Immediately, she rolled back and forth, to make it heavy for me, to kick her as hard as possible. But exactly that was a mistake of her. While she was doing that, my hits went then, indeed not into the area, where I would have wanted to kick her, but my kicks hit her then somewhere in the stomach. I kicked 6 times and 6 times, Magret rolled herself from one to the other side. Of course, she sobbed and sighed very loud at every hit. After my 6th kick, she remained then quiet. Her coach had screamed to her, that she should stop this rolling. That would make her considerably more vulnerable, than if she would lay quiet. And she should cover her stomach, with her hands, as good she can. Her coach had also seen, that it was impossible for Magret, to stand up alone. Therefore, she should remain laying quietly and should better attempt to absorb my kicks and to protect her stomach. That came to me, of course then, very much well sitedly. I always kicked then onto places in Magrets stomach, which she did not protect with her hands. Indeed, every kick, was a direct hit. I felt then, that also my strength decreased massively. Seemed, that my kicks were not controlled from my strength and the intelligence, no, they were controlled alone by my stomach. Sounds illogically, but was like this. Every kick was also for me painful. The time came then, where I went on the ground, cause of the pains and had to stop the kicking. The picture looked then like this. Sarah was completely quiet, you could nearly say, she totally relaxed, flat lying in the ring middle. I knelt down, on my hands and feet, next to her. No action came of Magret, only deep in and out breathing with simultaneous deep sighs. The referee knelt down to us and looked at both of us. A double giving up? Never before a referee had descided something like that. He asked Magret, if she wanted to give up, but she denied it. Her NO came simultaneously with a groan. He just wanted to ask me, there I took again, all my strength together and punched Magret fully in the gut. I wanted, that she said YES. She should give up. A heavy groan came from her. Once again, I punched into her gut, but again, only a loud groan came of her. She did not protect her stomach anymore, maybe she could that not anymore or did not wanted it. Then my partner shouted to me, that I would have 15 seconds left, until the end of the round. And, that I should give everything, completely everything. That I still would have the strength and that Magret had absolute no resistance more. He was totally right. Magret did nothing anymore, her ABS was totally relaxed. She had no more strength. I did 2 more hard punches, both in her gut, both full hits with a massive impact. I, myself, could feel the impact of those punches very well. I felt that I hit only on a hard swelling. But, it was still possible, to press in my fist very deeply. Again the referee asked Magret, if she wants to give up. Only a still, very quietly NO came of her. I did not want to hear that, put all my reserves together, stood up again, under extreme pains and kicked her in the gut. The kick was hard, tremendous hard. After I had done the kick, I regretted, that I did him and that I did him so hard. But I had to do the kick, because I want a decision. Magrets reaction after the kick was also tremendous. A massive cry and what a cry, louder than a plane can be. After that, I saw then also tears from her. The gong rang. Her coach went to her, lifted her up and carried her to the ring corner. You could hear very clearly, that Magret was still by full consciousness. She murmured again and again, "Not give up, not give up". She was a fantastic fighter. I had a lot of respect for Magret. She sat then down into her corner. The referee stood also there and had a look at Magret. She was totally finished. She was absolute unable to do anymore, either if it were resist against anything, or to do punching. Magret murmured again and again," No, no, not give up". I could not look at her any longer. Under pitiful pains, I got up and went to her. Magrets coach looked amazed at me. He probably thought, I wanted to hit her. Before he was able to say something, I interrupt him and spoke to Magret. "Magret, look at us. I can not more and you neither. I know, you do not want to give up and I do not want to force you into this. If you continue, I can understand it partially, but it would be stupid from you. Not, because I would win. No. I also can not punch or kick so well anymore, but every still so weak punch, would be the end for you. You can no more. If you continue, I still do not know, if I actually would punch you furthermore, because I want not hurt you anymore. But I would like to be in the quarter final. I do not want to influence you, just listen, what your coach says to you. Think back, some rounds ago. I also did not want to give up, but now look at yourself. There is absolutely no more resistance in your stoamch. Please, give up." Of course, I knew, that this sounded, like if I would influence her. But, believe me, I completely did not want that. When I looked so at Magret, I did not want any further round. Her stomach looked.., I can not describe it. Was not hurt, but she could not take anything anymore. It would result then, unavoidably, in a injury. But Magret still shaked her head and looked to me in a despairing way. Ok, I can understand her. Noone wanted to give up, even if You know that this would be much better, but you simply do not want it. While I was speaking to her, one of her team massaged her stomach and rubbed it also with such a analgesic gel. But all her team members and her coach said again and again, that she should give up. But she did not want that. The 30 seconds break were long over. Then, the referee had seen too much. He took Magrets coach. Both went to the ring middle and spoke something. I attempted once again, to talk to Magret. I helped the others with their work. But it seemed, as if Magret would were in a delirium. Not unconscious, but somehow dreaming. Then the referee came to me and told me to stand up. Because it still was hard for me too, to stand up, Magrets coach helped me then. At this situation, you clearly saw, how fair everything was. The referee said then to me, that the fight would be finished. Both would have agreed, that Magret can not more. I spoke then also to her coach, that I did not want to influence her, with what I had said. He understood that immediately. Therefore, I had won, through a giving up of Magret, better said, through the giving up of her coach and the referee. We went then all, once again, to Magret. Also my partner came to us. No one told her the result, it seemed, that she did not perceive her environment anymore. With all men and women, we helped then, to carry Magret out of the ring corner. Her coach took her then onto his arms and carried her out of the hall. I went, the whole time, nbeside her. She still murmured,"No, no, not give up." First, when we all had left the hall, also the DVD ended. I still followed Magret and her coach up to the hotel room. All the time, I told her some motivating words and her coach had thanked me for that. I was so surprised, about the reactions of Magrets coach. Imagine, that I had punched Magret so, that he looked like that. But her coach also knew, that I had not done this with intention, that this would be normal, at such a Contest. I only wanted to show them, that I could simply differentiate very well between a match and the life, you live beside such a match. In the match I simply must be so hard. Now, I still think about Magret. It still hurts me also, if I see the pictures from her stomach. But my stomach does not look better. Ok, when Magret was then in her hotel room, I went down again, into the training room. I wanted to train my stomach still a little and to do relaxation exercises. There, I met then also Sarah. We had seen ourselves today very often, after our match and became good girlfriends. She told me about her match against Silvana, but she needed that not. You could clearly se what Silvana did with her stomach. If you looked then at Sarahs stomach, mine and also Magrets looked much fitter. But Sarah took everything with fun. She still felt pains, but meant then also to me, that this would be so, at a BellyPunch contest. She knew that from the beginning, that she would have to stand a lot and as long as she were not injured, she could live with the bruises. I thought just the same. I can not prevent swellings and darkred marks, they comes automatically. So, now I think, I still go training once again, a little bit. I invited Sarah to train with me, so that she can help me during the training. Maybe, I do, once again, crunches up to my limit. So finished then, I can maybe then sleep very well. In addition, I must go to the lounge and look, which woman I will fight in the quarter final. Quarter final!! Incredible, I am in the quarter final. The first time at this contest and I am in the quarter final. But so happily I sound, I do not want to think about the next match. I want to sleep first well and tomorrow, I will see and I will feel how much my stomach recovered. But I do not think, that I will go with a topfit stomach into the match. For that, I had gotten too much and mostly too hard.
