Background:
Lots of people have heard the term “trailer park trash” and Tami Lou fits that phrase to a tee. Born in 2005 in the city of Cheyenne, Tami Lou was indoctrinated into the country and hillbilly lifestyle from the very onset of birth. When she was 7 years old, she started helping out on the family farm and her parents detested technology only having a television that was on strict watch time limitations. Tami Lou is the second oldest of seven children. Her sister, Louise, is the oldest followed by her then her three brothers, Chuckie, Louis, and Marel, another sister named May, and her new younger brother named Dixon. Tami Lou was being brought up in a world where hard work paid off and she would soon inherit the family farm one day in order to teach her children those values instilled in her.
That was the dream until Chuckie introduced her to boxing. It was a family reunion thing and Tami Lou saw two men slug it out in the hog pen with padded gloves on. Tami Lou always valued herself a lover and not a fighter, but something about slugging someone for sport had a weird appealing to it. When she got to watch the TV, she always had it on the sports channel and more boxing matches would be covered. Tami Lou soon idolized Muhammad Ali and other boxing greats which is what drove her to tell her parents. Her parents were at first strictly against it saying Tami Lou could seriously hurt herself and should leave sports to her brothers, but her older sister stood up for her and encouraged Tami Lou to follow her own path. Tami Lou actually got in contact with a boxing coach by accident after he hit a flat tire just near the farmhouse and Tami offered to help replace it.
The coach was impressed with Tami Lou’s dedication to hard work and friendly nature. She asked about potentially moving into a boxing career and the coach offered his services. Tami started small in local leagues and lost often, but had lots of fun and even memorized the rules of boxing to shake off her “hillbilly mind” that could hinder her reputation. Tami Lou strikes fast and hard trying to be serious when she is in the ring. Tami also secretly took the family pickup truck into the big cities nearby in Montana and competed in foxy boxing to see a fun outlet in the less serious version of the sport. Tami Lou’s professional record is 14-16-4 which she has suffered 8 knockouts, 3 spilt decision losses, and 5 unanimous decision losses. Tami has scored 10 knockouts, 2 TKOs, and 2 spilt decision wins. Her draws were all against rookies.
Tami got reached out for her expertise in striking and was offered to be flown out to Japan in order to bring the heart of the south to LAW to instill her values in a whole other world.
Personality:
Tami Lou is a country girl to the core and has the southern drawl to prove it. She believes in hard work and has brought the same dedication from her farm work into her boxing career. Tami Lou never understood anything about technology growing up and got her first smartphone at 18 which confused her to no end. She can be a little ditzy when it comes to technological stuff, but the hillbilly lifestyle is something she is a whole walking encyclopedia on. Tami Lou is also passionate about zoology and how animals operate which makes her knowledge about horses, pigs, sheep, goats, and other farm animals.
What Tami Offers:
Tami is all about helping others improve their striking and works them to the bone just like she was raised on the farm. She wants her potential students to have dedication and hard work coiled in their bones when they improve each and every session. Tami will also enlist a boxing match with her as a final test to see if training is sinking in.
