- 2:54Speaker 2: We'll keep it right here though, Shack in the ring,
- 2:56Speaker 2: tremendous performance. You defend your world championship, and you said
- 3:00Speaker 2: you were gonna show that you were a level above
- 3:03Speaker 2: in this fight. Do you think you showed that tonight? Oh?
- 3:05Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. I mean I started off the rust
- 3:08Speaker 4: that I ain't gonna lie, and he was a little
- 3:10Speaker 4: sharp early, but I knew I was gonna start picking
- 3:12Speaker 4: him apart. I told him it was levels to this,
- 3:15Speaker 4: and I told him the sign that I was gonna
- 3:16Speaker 4: get the dad in next and that's who I want.
- 3:19Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a minute. But you're right,
- 3:20Speaker 2: it was a close fight. It seemed like through six rounds.
- 3:23Speaker 2: The punch numbers seemed to reflect that. What changed as
- 3:25Speaker 2: we got to the second half of the fight.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Man, I'm one, I'm one of the best. I'm one
- 3:30Speaker 4: of the smartest people in his ring, man, And all
- 3:33Speaker 4: I needed to do was adjust.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Man.
- 3:35Speaker 4: I knew what he was gonna come in and wanted
- 3:36Speaker 4: to do, and uh, I just took it. I took
- 3:39Speaker 4: everything away from him. I knew what his stress was,
- 3:40Speaker 4: and you know that's what I That's what my plan was,
- 3:42Speaker 4: to take it away from him.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Talk to me about those adjustments. What kind of adjustments
- 3:46Speaker 2: did you make from the sixth round on? But it
- 3:48Speaker 2: seemed like you won five of the six maybe all
- 3:50Speaker 2: six those.
- 3:50Speaker 4: Final rounds, just picking up my output. I see, I
- 3:55Speaker 4: told him before.
- 3:56Speaker 3: I know he don't.
- 3:57Speaker 4: I see, he don't like when punch is coming at him,
- 3:59Speaker 4: and that was thing. Punch and use my angles at
- 4:02Speaker 4: that punch, and that worked to my benefit, I mean,
- 4:04Speaker 4: to my, to my it worked for me.
- 4:07Speaker 2: He's been aggressive for most of his fight to one
- 4:09Speaker 2: hundred and thirty pounds. If you expect him to apply
- 4:11Speaker 2: pressure early because he was fighting some off the back
- 4:14Speaker 2: foot making you come in.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for sure.
- 4:17Speaker 4: I thought he was gonna try to press me. He
- 4:18Speaker 4: kept talking about he was gonna stop me, and he
- 4:21Speaker 4: was gonna hurt me, break me. And so you see
- 4:23Speaker 4: from the first round I stepped to him and he
- 4:25Speaker 4: didn't know what to do with it.
- 4:27Speaker 2: And we see Immaniel never at to having two belts
- 4:29Speaker 2: at one thirty. But do you think you made your
- 4:30Speaker 2: case tonight that you should be considered the best of
- 4:33Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty pounds? Man?
- 4:35Speaker 4: Yes, sir, skill for skill everything, I'm the best. If
- 4:40Speaker 4: I can't get the court next, hopefully, man never had
- 4:43Speaker 4: take him do it. But y'all know who I want?
- 4:46Speaker 2: You do want cha cour Stevenson. We saw him jump
- 4:48Speaker 2: into the ring and confront you afterwards. What were you
- 4:50Speaker 2: two saying to each other?
- 4:52Speaker 4: Man? He was saying, I ain't read and all that
- 4:55Speaker 4: he know. He know why this why I came to
- 4:57Speaker 4: to his little mass to show him that I will
- 4:59Speaker 4: see this about making a fight with him, and I'm
