Tallon fought a great fight against a kid who was heavier and older, one who had a ton of heart because he never stopped. Tal knocked him down a couple of times in the first round with an eventual knock out in the second round. It was surreal that at the end of the fight, as another mother's son lay on the mat, we all cheered and screamed for my son. I'm delighted that Tallon had the time of his life, enjoyed every minute, but couldn't stop thinking about the other mother. He can't wait to fight again in March and I'll be hoping that he nails it so I never have to feel first hand what she did that night. And we will be starting those college visits very soon. ;-) So many people have asked me about this post that I figure I’d better post to let you know how it worked out.
