He need to feel something tonight, whatever he's going through.” Reyes emphasized the tenacity of his opponent, showcasing a deep understanding of Smith's emotional struggle after the loss of his coach, as well as acknowledging the warrior spirit that drove Smith to continue fighting despite the odds.

As he said it, he's fighting for his friend, and he doesn't care about him, he just wants to feel something.” Reyes observed the depths of Smith's emotional state, illustrating how personal tribulations can fuel an athlete's drive to compete, and how fighting can sometimes become an avenue for processing loss.
