""I wasn't expecting that. I was really worried about him picking up the pace late in the fight. And I was expecting him to come after me a little bit more. And I was trying to calm it down. And so once I kind of realized that he wasn't having a lot of success, I was like, all right, I need to start pulling the trigger.""
""I feel fulfilled. Fulfilled is the right term. I was so stressed out. I wanted to have a good send off. I just wanted to have a good performance I could be proud of. And then to do it like that, to have my family here, have everything. I feel blessed.""
