Bart: Patricia is doing good, she has a new trainer, and is back in the gym working everything---Back into a new fighter.  She has a new trainer - Trevor Mckinsey.

TL Fox: Does she have any upcoming fights?

Bart: Yes, we have a couple of different venues that we are working on. Hopefully, we have one opportunity for a world champion belt with WIBA, for the Gina Guidi belt that she does not have anymore. We would like to fight Mitzi Jeter for that spot. We have been wanting to do that for a long time.

TL Fox: Reflecting on what happened to Patricia with the Karla Redo fight, how does she and you feel at this time?

Bart: The way I see it, I may be prejudice, I may not be, but I’m not the only one who saw it that way. Patricia had a very bad performance, Redo had a very good performance---and she deserves the belt. And we want to take no thunder away from her by no means. And, we liked her, she is a very nice person. However, we feel we out-boxed her that night in my opinion, even though we thought it was a bad night.  But none the less, the way it worked out, we will take our lumps like anyone.

TL Fox: That was unfortunate of what happened that night and that she got the belt, and then had it taken away…

Bart: Well that was the horrifying part. But you take your loss, you button up your lip and you leave the arena. That’s it. But, that was a bit humiliating, it actually threw her mindset off of this world. She views America, and our way of life, and the way that we conduct our government and our business and out state, and so forth, and being like God you know---and when she saw that happened,  it took all the faith that she had, and squashed it for the moment anyhow. And she was pretty wrecked. Sometimes people do something horrible in a negative way, maybe they don’t mean for it to happen, it happens all the time. We just have to accept the fact that the announcer made a mistake, and announced the wrong thing, I find it pretty hard to believe.

TL Fox: I thought that they had re-tallied the scores?

Bart: They did, they took like 16 minutes to figure out who won the fight to begin with…and they changed things around and the whole thing got messed up. All we need in a fight if we have our fighter tuned properly and everything works the way it should on fight night is a referee that can count to ten (laugh).. More than that, we don’t ask for anything more than that. So we have to get her back to that point. We feel that she had been regressing, fight after fight. She is still a good fighter, but we can bring her back to that level.

A special thanks to Bart Bruni who took the time to talk with WBAN about Patricia Demick!
