‘Sugar’ said, “I just watched it once. I hit him with a right hand, right before I hit him with the n*t kick. I hit him with the right-hand right when I hit him with his right hand. He started, kind of like, doing something with his eye. So I think that right-hand kind of hurt him … he was like wiping his eye after I hit him clean. Just like a clean shot.”
“Then I threw the teep, landed on his like, right above the beltline and he like said it hurt his n*ts, but he started like going on his eye and it wasn’t from a poke. It was from a punch. I think just broke him mentally. He did not want to be there with me.”
“He landed zero shots to the head. Zero shots to the body. They claimed he landed like 26 leg kicks … I checked those. If you threw a leg kick at me and I checked it, it would f**k you up.”
Thus, the fighter went on to question the judge’s way of understanding the fight.
