Tom Quin Q&A

Fighter profile of Shogun Iron Tyson by Alika Webb

Q: Dear martial arts fans, it’s already been a while but he’s back now. I am once again doing an interview with Tom Quin. The 19 year old prospect from Holland who’s currently competing in the consolation bracket of the tournament to crown BEEF’s 145 champion. Tom, it’s been a while since we’ve last talked, could you give us a short summary of the events that have occurred since our last interview?

Tom: First things first, I lost in the second round of the tournament.

Q: What happened?

Tom: My opponent simply outworked me and he won fair and square. After the loss I had some doubts and I went back to the gym and reinvented myself.

Q: What do you mean you’ve reinvented yourself?

Tom: From the get go I’ve been a boxer and after losing to a fellow boxer it was hard to realize what had happened. Not only did I lose to a fellow boxer but I didn’t get caught, I didn’t get cut, I didn’t lose a close fight. I simply got beaten and that night he broke me. But I did what any warrior should do after a loss: just move forward and don’t look back. That’s what I did and it showed in my next fight, not only did I beat Brodin, I demolished him and beat him into retirement.  After that fight  something really great happened.

Q: What? Please do tell.

Tom: It wasn’t exactly a surprise because I’ve put a target on my back by being so vocal and getting all this media attention but it was really great that someone from the tournament finally had the balls to call me out. It’s always great for the fans to see a fight where there’s beef between the fighters so I responded in kind, traded some words with Mike Marin and I’m now scheduled to fight him.

Q: you heard it fans, tune in on February eight! Tom thanks for doing this interview, I know you’re always busy training. Good luck for your next fight and I hope to see you again.
