Australian kickboxer Serin Murray (pictured) arrived in Japan yesterday to prepare for her bout against Megumi Fujii on the Nov. 29 Korakuen Hall Smackgirl show. Megumi Fujii & Lisa Ward were also at the press conference and Smackgirl has added one more bout to the show.
Serin Murray did a wonderful impersonation of a wrestling heel. She said she is very happy to be in Japan and for the opportunity to punch Megumi Fujii's lovely face. She respects Fujii's grappling skill but she believes her karate training and power will prevail. Serin says she will knock Fujii out. Of course Megumi Fujii was typically confident. She knows very little about Serin Murray but is not concerned. She is training very well and knows how to handle a kickboxer.
Lisa Ward said she is very happy to return to Japan. She's fighting in a lighter weight class and the weight loss went well. She says she wants to challenge for a title after she wins this fight. Smackgirl has added a rookie match to the show. All matches are scheduled for two five minute rounds unless noted otherwise. Here's the card.
