Dear Valentina and Rodolfo.

I went back to re-read the ‘Valentina’s Next Fight’ blog post that Rodolfo made in May – it seems a long time ago! And I just realised: Santana is an ex-pro wrestler. In other words, you, Valentina, a completely inexperienced fighter, gave an experienced ex-pro wrestler two and a half REALLY tough rounds of catfighting. That is fucking incredible!

I wondered why the fight never went to ground, and now I think you did well not to let it. If Santana had got you to the floor, her wrestling experience would surely have given her an advantage, so I guess you had a good strategy to stay on your feet.

I have watched the fight five or six times now. I have watched a LOT of catfights and, alongside Jess/Mira 2 from SuiteFights and the Japanese Babefights from a long time ago (13 years?), I think this is the best, and most real, catfight ever recorded on video. No bodypunching in Jess/Mira – but you and Santana really went to war with each other. Those bodyshots, wow! She hurt you but you hurt her as well.

That was a great decision, Rodolfo, to start the match with an exchange of bodypunches and face-slaps. SO hot (and a bit like those lovely Japanese Babefights)! All the other producers are going to be doing this now! Oh, what a thought: Valentina v. a Japanese girl in a street-fight is my ultimate fantasy!

Those first two rounds were close, REALLY close, but they took more energy out of Valentina than they did from Santana. When you sat in your corner at the end of the second round, Valentina, I think you knew that the fight was nearly over. Santana looked fresh and you looked tired, and a little bit hurt. That must have been so difficult for Rodolfo. I wanted to wrap my arms around you at that point! Rodolfo said he would write a blog post about his feelings about the fight, and I’m sure that he will say how close he came to stopping it after two rounds. I am really looking forward to reading his words.

I think you knew that you had nearly given everything, and that going back for the third round would be like walking back into the lion’s den. It would have been so easy for you to quit before round three began, but THAT was when you showed the heart of a real warrior, a total Amazon! It reminded me of how Rachel went back out against Laura after Laura had won her first submission. You got to your feet and went back out like a tigress, attacking Santana, and giving everything you had left. You perhaps don’t realise how impressive that is for we catfight viewers. It was – and is, even on the sixth viewing – unbelievably sexy. In defeat, you were inspirational. Truly!

Santana was too tough for you this time. Those punches she sent into your stomach at the end are painful for me to watch and I’m glad you stopped when you did. I didn’t want to see you get hurt. There is no shame in losing to her. You would beat 99% of women of your age/height/weight. She just happens to be ferocious, skilled and experienced – and in the top 1%.

Another thing which impresses me so much about you is that you are already talking about a rematch, and calling out Santana on Twitter! I want to see it, just like I wanted to see a rematch between Laura and Rach. But you’re not ready for Santana yet. I want to see you fight some other amateurs if you can find them, in Mexico or the USA. I wonder if Steve at Suitefights could suggest any good opponents for you? He knows about you and Santana now, and I’m sure he would consider putting you in a match against one of his SuiteFights girls. I think you would beat most of them in a street-fight style contest. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to see you put a vicious beating on your next opponent!

Please work on your stamina with some extra cardio exercise, and practise those bodyshots. You got some good strikes in against Santana, but you need more, and heavier punches. You need to practice these on Rodolfo! I’m sure that will improve your relationship too lol

I am really, really happy that catfighting has brought you and Rodolfo closer together. Catfighting can do that to a couple!

What you, Santana and Rodolfo achieved in the last couple of weeks is incredible, and I salute you all. I feel particularly blessed that I am a small part of your story. It feels amazing to think that my favourite catfighter and favourite catfight-producer have read, and like (!), my book. To have received such lovely messages from you both is a fantastic feeling for me. If you ever come to England, I would love to meet you both and even host you for a few days (that would be interesting, because my wife has no idea of my interest in catfighting lol!!!).

You don’t have to reply to this e-mail as you have already written so much to me already, and I am sure you have won so many, many other catfight-fans who also deserve to have some of your attention. I just wanted to let you know that every time I watch the fight, I am impressed even more. Now I want to see you, Valentina, win in really impressive style!

Thank you for your phenomenal contribution to world catfighting.
With best wishes and love to you both,

Tirny Francis
