I just want to offer a big "CONGRATULATIONS!" to Nicole and her Dad. This is an AMAZING feat. You guys have worked hard and have rightfully earned the distinction of being one of the best fighters (Nicole) and best coaches (Mike) in North America. I hope that THIS will now silence the critics!

Thank you for all the fans who came to the national muaythai promotion, I see a lot of comments about nicole hess and lynda loyce fight for the main event I know lynda personally and have seen her fight many times, therefore i picked her for the main event, nicole was the challenger, the younger challenger, i have contacted many trainers and fighters to fight lynda loyce, no one accepted to fight her because of her superior muaythai skill, however, nicole hess has a very good heart to accept it. from what i saw as a promoter and a former professional thaiboxer, i saw that both fighters fought very good, i know nicole came from a non-muaythai style background, but she put in all of every skills she has to fight the fight, she surprised lynda loyce with avoiding lynda's strike instead of blocking, she moved out and in to counter after lynda missed the strike, that gave the judges and referee a convincing points, lynda performed a very good muaythai techniques, solid punches, knee and kick, but nicole fought back with whatever she has, if you count all punches and kicks and knee strikes, the judges have seen that nicole had more points, especially the last round, lynda took it easy, she made a mistake by doing that, it showed the judges that nicole had a good heart to continue the fight. nicole hess won and we need to give her a recognition, let lynda think about it either to rematch or not, or move on ? i will do the show again in 3 to 4 month, hopefully at Fresno convention center, so it won't be at the cattle fairground, i had a hard time to find a place for the show on 3-12-05, many hotel and hall owner were afraid to give me their facility for the show, they didn't know what it is, eventhough i offered them 1 million liability insurance coverage but thank you for all your support, come again to see my show thank you Paul Metayo – Promoter

I just saw the front page where it says Nicole Hess scored a huge upset beating one of America’s top ranked fighters, Lynda Loyce . Anyhow, a great job by promoter Paul Metayo! It will be very interesting to see the WIKBA rankings for April.

I knew Nicole would do it. Congratulations to her!!!!

I'm glad to hear that Nicole Hess won, and I'm sure Lynda Loyce did great as well. Does anyone know if this was a taped fight and if it will be sold on dvd or vhs?..If so when will it be available to purchase and who do i contact? Thank you!

good luck to both fighters. Regardless who wins, they have got this far and are both champions...Good Luck Nicole Hess, I have faith in you !=]

Hess fought tough though and I think surprised quite a few out there that thought she would lose by K.O.
