Tough night in the ring for Team Rage fighters

Not the result they were hoping for

 

“Even though both fighters lost their fights (one due to injury), we are still proud of them,” said Darin Opperman, coach at Team Rage Kickboxing Club.

It was a difficult night in the ring for the two Team Rage Kickboxing fighters during the recent Supreme Fight League (SFL) event.

Twenty-four fighters stepped into the ring in the third installment of the competition, which took place at the Rivonia Barnyard, and fought for victory.

Wilhelmina Lombaard and Cole Langa represented Team Rage, but, unfortunately they did not get the results they were hoping for.

Cole lost his fight against Kojo Ahyia-Osae by unanimous decision, while Wilhelmina lost to Imke-Marischca Smit. The fight was stopped one minute and 40 seconds into round one, after Wilhelmina was injured, and Imke-Marischa was declared the winner via a technical knock out (TKO).

“We want to thank SFL for the opportunity they gave our fighters. We will never back down, never give in and are always ready for the next challenge,” Darin concluded.
