I worked my tail off to get better. But some people look good fighting and some look like spiders in the ring. I was a spider with only seven legs and one dangling. I watch some of my matches and say, ‘Oh dear.’ I think people felt sorry for me and thought, ‘I know that girl,’ or, ‘I am that girl.'”
