@bravens. Thank you for the great insight. Unfortunately, from press row, I didn’t have any access to replays and had the video screens behind me, so I had to try and watch the live action from a distance. I will definitely go back and try to find a video of the fight and look at the offenses closely. Thanks so much for your comment.

“Layne happened to turn his head a certain way during one of the punches and Terrill’s punch caught the back of Layne’s head”

Nope. Terrill had his back and dropped (more than one) straight shots to the back of the head. Dan goes over the rules in the pre-fight meeting, and everyone knew this was illegal, hence the immediate point deduction.

Terrill has no grounds for an appeal and should spend his time working basic guillotine defenses.

@ Ryan A. MacDonald:
Thanks!! Nice meeting you as well!
@ Ryan A. MacDonald:

Honestly until about 2 or 3 weeks out Master Mike told me the fight would be at a catch weight of 140 lbs. He tried to negotiate but he said they wouldn’t budge. I wasn’t worried because I have the best in the game doing my cut. George Lockhart at http://www.FitnessVt.com. He made the adjustments and got my weight down ahead of time so I didn’t do anything crazy to get down. Here is video I posted last week showing everyone my weight was down.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MYblsILSS4 Lockhart is really pissed with me, right before the pee test I left to go back to the room to eat, I ate some Chipotle & potatoes, I have an issue with seeing myself really small its like the opposite of anorexia, he got onto me the fight before last when I was fighting at 45 when I was trying to stack on 30 lbs by the fight. My stomach was hurting ect. He said its going to make u slow & feel like crap, why are u trying to gain so much. So this fight I thought I was doing better by only gaining 20 lbs but it back fired on me!! & he went off on me, I was just ignorant thinking I was doing it right this time. He says I feel somethings should be common sense when u feel full stop eating, but I still ate another meal while still felt full.. Yea I know My common sense is not to common in this area.. It just all has to do with my own mental image. I gotta do better!! Be patient with me & please forgive me George. I made the night long myself! I even set my alarm at for 2 a.m the night before to wake up to get another meal in to get to the 20lbs. Here is a video that might shed some light to why I have mental issues with looking small. To add to it in the 9th grade I was 5’2″ 92lbs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPG_yW0KWJc
