Despite a dominant performance, he later expressed regret over his prior comments about Mexico, clarifying that they were not against Mexican culture or people. Pyfer emphasized a need for recovery and conditioning before his next fight, advocating for taking time to prepare properly and avoid future complications with his health.
"It wasn't my best performance, but I think it was a pretty dominant performance," he noted following the bout, which arrived just past two months on from their original date in Mexico.
"Ultimately I'm happy. This was a long camp. Ultimately things did not go well for me PR wise in Mexico... I want to apologize to my Mexicans out there that may hate me."
