As we begin round six twenty, we did earlier about

pedraza

It felt great, you know, just going in front of my fans, you know, taking a few more kids, you know, I want to thank my promoter, you know, floyd mayweather, linda adelby, you know my manager, uh al. Haymon and just my local support team and my team, you can see the excitement on your face being so young and this accomplished. What does this mean for you? Can you even describe what it means right now? um, it means a lot. You know, I depend on hard work, my team worked hard you know, so you just know coming out victorious means a lot and also having a great promoter, you know, a great boxer backing me, it felt great, where did you find this? composure um with all this lack of experience he had a lot more experience and you were so poised so smart I have had experience I was telling you all that that he didn't believe me, but you know, yeah, you know, um, all the English camps.

I studied, I studied, I studied pretty boy Floyd, no, you know, no, money, money, I studied pretty boy Floyd, and you know what you learned from that. Just stay calm, you know, he caught me with a lot of good, um, good shots, you know? and I, uh, you know, I took it and I threw it away, that's what you prove, I'm a real dog, you're a real dog, let's take a look at the end of the fight and tell us what you were seeing from your perspective. as you launch this attack here at the end of the round, there, big, right, oh yeah, what do you think about this? um I felt like he was, I felt like he was um, I was weighing in, I caught him once in the body and you know he backed off you know and then my team, Calvin Kenny, you know, Floyd Mayweather told me to go back to the body, you know. , because you know, once I feel like I got you out of there, uh, you know, I pressed the button. but floyd and my team said, "you know, keep yourself under control and get back to the body." Floyd is this the future of boxing and the future has just arrived for this training camp.

I didn't want to be close to him. I didn't want to talk to him, I wanted him to focus so he could go out and be the best and that's what he did tonight. This is the future of boxing. Abs are lutely floyd, it's always a pleasure to hear from you, I'm sure parents are. very happy with that, now let's bring jose, congratulations, excellent, it will translate for us, jose, are you okay?, yes, he is fine, he is fine, what was your strategy? Because you let him shoot so many at you and our guys, Al and Paulie were saying You know you didn't move your head and just let the attack continue.

What was the strategy with that Joseph? Yes, the strategy was basically to fight him from a distance and try to fight him from the inside and lose some strength. power, but it didn't work that way, it didn't seem like you were able to use it in spurts at all. I did, but in the end he was trying to push too hard and that didn't work. In the fifth round you came alive and won that round, probably until the last 30 seconds you felt that at that moment you were going to be able to establish control. Yes, there was a time when I stuck to the game plan.

I wanted to, but then there was something that told me to just come and fight him and that didn't work. Thank you very much, I'm glad you're okay, yeah, no excuse, but he was at 155 and going down to We fought at this weight and accepted that the fight maybe wasn't the right move right there.
