an attitude like this is what brings you new fans after a decision win. Nobody wants to hear a fighter big mouthing after a fight that could have gone both ways. Aljo is confident about his skill, but also acknowledges his shortcomings. I'm impressed, both by the performance and the reflection in the press conference

@ives3572 Жыл бұрын

It was a highly competitive technical title fight all right, and I was rooting for Henry Cejudo to get it done, but after watching the fight, it's pretty clear to me that the champion Aljamain Sterling would retain his title with the fight ending up at the hands of the judges. I see Sterling dominating/outclassing and finishing Sean O'Malley, and Merab would also do the same thing to Sean. Props to Henry for a gutsy performance in the fight, but that three years of layoff certainly had a slight effect on his game. If Henry decides not to retire again, he needs to fight Merab (and of course beat him) if he is to fight for the bantamweight title again.
