Okay, I can take his best shot.

It didnt rock me.

It didn't hurt me, but I felt the thought of it, and I was I'd be careful, though.

Don't plan to his game.

So he's just staying there, waiting for me to rush into him.

I was even expect him to blitz at some points.

But whenever he had his bounce ready to blitz, I messed with his mind.

I I faint him out.

I'd shift.

I turned him his levels to this.

And people who don't understand the intricacies of the structure game don't understand.

So I'd stag, I cut his rhythm off, and then he'd have to restart his rhythm again with the bounce and bounce.

And it's different, ma'am.

But for me, I was hoping he'd be more like my opponents of the past.

Or like like Calvin and Robert, who would actually bring the fight of the Anderson account a fighter.

He still brought the fight, and he's the same age of them, so I don't know what his excuses. 00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:0.910 And he can try and think he won that fight. 00:01:1.500 --> 00:01:2.890 You didn't do nothing, Boy. 00:01:3.100 --> 00:01:4.150 You kept your composure. 00:01:4.150 --> 00:01:4.530 Obviously. 00:01:4.530 --> 00:01:5.650 When there was that, I poke. 00:01:5.650 --> 00:01:8.960 And when Dan Burghley out at one point kinda tried to get you guys to fight. 00:01:8.960 --> 00:01:12.510 Now a referee can take a point away for timidity, right?

Certainly we weren't in that situation.

No, but were you surprised that he tried to inject himself in the fight in that way?

What with the eye poke?

I was OK.

Fair enough.

Yes, because he was playing with the hands I was playing with their hands.

But what?

I mean, he said, Come on, guys, give them something to score.

I'm like I'm doing my best.

This is the guy just standing in doing this.

Yeah.

What's that?

What's that?

What do I have to do with that?

It takes two to tango.

I'm the one probing trying to draw reactions.

So for me, I was I was pressing the action.

He wasn't doing nothing.

This'll Bell had been taken away from you tonight.

Would there be Maur learning lessons in this fight than there are Because you're still the champ?

Not really.

I'm still trust me.

You guys are no.

Like I'm gonna wash this fight over and over.

I got some work to do at my after party show face, smile and wave. 00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:4.350 Ah, but then after that, I'm going to go re watch this again and see what I could have done. 00:02:5.020 --> 00:02:5.330 How? 00:02:5.340 --> 00:02:5.800 How? 00:02:5.800 --> 00:02:6.730 I like to attack fighters. 00:02:6.730 --> 00:02:7.370 I watched the fight. 00:02:7.370 --> 00:02:9.990 But if I was him, if I was fighting me, how would I beat me?

Right.

That's how I like to wash the fight again.

And also I'd see how what I what I did right in the fight.

I will look at that.

And also, I'd see how could I have done better in this fight?

But first I'm gonna do is watching to see how could I beat me in this fight?

Of all the things that make you great, I think for a lot of fans, chief among them is the fact that you not unlike a *** mongo man, I've always want to fight the top guy.

When you dusted Robert Whitaker, you asked for Paolo Conte.

Let it never be.

No, I didn't have to fight this guy.

A manager would have told you not.

I don't know, but I want the guy that everyone's running from.

I want the guy that everyone's scared to fight.

And I called him out and I beat him.

That was for one or five.

No, but I'll give it for one from my initial observation by Have to watch it again.

It might be five.

No, but for me that first round, I might give it just That's the only one on my gift to him. 00:02:56.710 --> 00:03:3.280 But for me, for one, I'd imagine your expectation is that Pal Acosta will be next and it will be a very I know he's going to bring the fight. 00:03:3.280 --> 00:03:4.730 That poll Ha Chino's gonna bring the fight. 00:03:4.730 --> 00:03:5.610 So I'm looking forward to that. 00:03:5.610 --> 00:03:6.170 Definitely. 00:03:6.530 --> 00:03:8.160 Do you consider yourself a counter striker? 00:03:8.160 --> 00:03:13.690 I mean, oftentimes at the highest Al Bender man, I do everything differently, like but yeah, that was my first initial style style.

Bullfighting with striking was counter fighting, and I brought that back in the Robert Whittaker fight and a lot of people, even my cameraman Jeff was like, I never even see you spy like that before in this camp.

Well, it's It's in my arsenal.

I just hadn't used it in a long time.

But I'm looking forward to that next fight because he's a guy that I've seen many times.

And I can say that definitely this I've never seen.

I've never had a guy just stand there right, like, what am I supposed to do with that?
