He said, “I think he’s able to just; he has a unique skill set to absorb these shots and, like it, frustrates. I mean, I know it frustrated me. I was landing a lot of good shots and I feel like the takedown attempt in the second round, the one that he caught me with the uppercut. It was a bit of a rush job because I felt like my strikes weren’t doing enough but obviously going back and watching the film. I was wrong; I was winning on the feet.”
