The weigh ins for tomorrow's JEWELS show were held at the DEEP dojo today. Pics have been posted on the JEWELS blog and GBRing. I don't usually write about the weigh ins as they are uneventful. The girls always make weight and none of them talk trash either. Unfortunately, there was a problem today as US fighter Sally Krumdiak missed weight. Sally arrived in Japan yesterday with her trainer Charlie Pearson. Her fight against Saori Ishioka is contracted for 52.5kg. Ishioka weighed in at 52.4kg and Sally weighed in at 52.9kg. She will forteit 10% of her purse and will start the match with a yellow card. Not good. Sally apologized for missing weight. I understand she dropped seven pounds in the last day or so and she still wasn't able to make weight. She seems very concerned about the cut and she should be. Sally said she watched Ishioka fight on Youtube and plans to keep the fight standing. On the other hand, Ishioka plans to take Sally down and put her to sleep. All the other fighters made weight with no problem.
