Speaking to Shannon Sharpe, he said, “Going with your jab, he has to go all out for 12 rounds with him. Can’t give him no room to punch, he has to go all out for 12-rounds with him. He can’t give him no time by moving around, can’t allow him to think. He allows Tyson Fury to think a lot. He gives him a lot of time.”
