Joe Pyfer won against Kelvin Gastelum in June, securing only his second decision victory. Critics have emerged, especially following the fight's turbulent circumstances including food poisoning. Pyfer expressed awareness of high expectations based on his striking power and acknowledged the scrutiny over performance finishes. He emphasized dominating Gastelum without taking damage and proudly noted Gastelum's Hall of Fame status. Regarding future middleweight bouts, Pyfer favors Caio Borralho over Nassourdine Imavov and views the upcoming duel between Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev as evenly matched.
I dropped him, I dominated him, I got hit six times, I can tell you every shot he hit me with. It was not a close fight, and like I said the expectation was very high for me to have a finish.
Kelvin Gastelum's name is under my resume for the rest of my career. And he's great. He got inducted to the Hall of Fame for his fight with Izzy.
I think he's just the more complete fighter between the two,
