Suzi Kolber interview with Patricia.
Fourth Sunday of Advent, 2024.
SK: Good Sunday morning, fight fans. Hard to believe Fight Night is just 5 days away... where did 2024 go? I'm here with one of our brave combatants, the lovely Patricia. Patricia .... I must say .... we got to chat a bit preparing for the interview ... I'll try and get you out of your shell. Chin up, face the camera .... give all of our fans a big Hello.
P: [Blushing] I know .... I'm sorry, it's not you..... I've always been camera shy..... Hello, everyone ..... Good morning, kids....
SK: ....And, I'm glad you 'went there' first,...... let's get that out of the way, as, it's the most fascinating things about you to many of Friday's viewers.... since your one of our school mom's, everyone knew you had at least one daughter.... but some may be surprised by .... exactly how many .... you have. Did you want to expand on that? .... Chin up.
P: [blushing, again] .... well, ok, I need to explain.... I do have 6 kids....
SK: .....Six!!!......
P: .....but, ok, it's a blended family ..... this is my second marriage, ok.....Mine are combined the the kids my husband brought into our marriage.....And, ok, I know not many women my ago feel that was anymore .... but I always a big family, ok?.... I grew up on a farm, and that was how we kept the farm going. So, well I guess I don't want to be known as the weird lady within kids, ok?
SK: Thank you, and ...... I must say .... I don't think I heard or read anyone describing it as weird .... this IS a CATHOLIC school after all.... large families BUILT this school ..... and many of the viewers Friday were member of .... or headed, even, .... families even larger than yours. Patricia, tell us more about you as a fighter. ..... and more precisely, as a fist-fighter.
P: Well, like I said .... I grew up in a large family.... and that means lots of sisters.... And we all know what childhood and teenage sisters mean.....
SK: Adult sisters, too....for the record.....
P:..... Yes, adult sisters, too.... it means lots of scraps over bathroom waits and borrowed clothes and boys and just because you're having a bad day.....I love my sister's, don't get me wrong. But we went toe-to-toe countless times. I know how to handle myself.
SK: You bring up 'toe to toe'....some viewers have queried the "No clinching" rule you and Jackie have agreed to for Friday. Why was that important to each of you.
P: Both of us have long hair, and are frustrated by getting it pulled in fights. We want the winner to be the better woman with her firsts, not with her throws or grabs or whatever. Just a long fight with knuckles and arm strength. To see what happens.
SK: You've seen Jackie. Any predictions of what WILL happen.
P: Well, I sense she can take it.... that's for sure. Viewers are in for a long fight, if I had to guess. Neither of us are gonna give based on getting hit in the face. It'll be a war.
SK: ....Which you seem ok with?
P: More than ok. I welcome it. Bring it, bitch.
SK: Thank you Patricia. Up next .... Jackie.
To be continued....
