Representing Echuca-based Muay Thai Lab, neither Reese McMaster nor Jacqui Agius were able to prevail in their scheduled bouts, both going down by decision.
McMaster faced off with Sarah Kwa in a battle between two technical fighters.
The local fighter tried to remain on the front foot, a practitioner of the aggressive muay khao style, but by the judges' reckoning, Kwa had the better of the three rounds, taking the decision.
A contrasting bout saw Agius make her professional debut, facing off with Ellie Tsigaras.
Unlike McMaster’s fight, this contest was a more physical slugfest, both athletes looking to land heavy strikes.
Again, despite a valiant showing, Agius went down on the judges’ scorecard, Tsigaras claiming the decision over the three rounds.
JSMT: Crown was an all-female event, the first such promotion in Victoria, and featured 13 bouts at Doncaster Shoppingtown Hotel.
