“Whether I was happy for Yan or not, this is unnecessary. What kind of fool do you have to not be happy? The fight was watching. Good, competent fight. After the second round I rebuilt well. It was evident that his hunger, motivation, desire to become the best were much higher than that of his opponent. Sometimes it works. If I'm not mistaken, he will have a fight with Sterling.
