“I mean this is the business of boxing, it’s a very hard business.

For me, the boxing business is one of the hardest because it’s unstructured, so it can still go. It had a lot of loopholes, a lot of tunnels, a lot of walkable roads, so I wasn’t surprised it fell apart like that.

It’s been like many other fights before, so we can’t be surprised by this as we’ve watched a lot of the best fights that we thought were going to happen but didn’t and fell apart.

So for me, a match isn’t a final until you walk into the ring and the bell rings.”
