10 new pros from this past weekend, and one is what many would consider long overdue. I wrote a post back in August entitled Elena: One of the Best to Never Go Pro where I said “she is the perennial and often controversial second placer at national level shows.” Finally, I have been proven wrong!
Elena had been competing at national level for almost 10 years now, and was considered by most to be one of the best amatuers around, and was always a threat to win every show she entered. Last weekend by virtue of her 1st place finish in the light heavyweight class she finally earned pro status. With a physique that easily fits right in at pro level, I look forward to seeing Elena on the pro stage.
