“I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10^日) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

“Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

“I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, 但今晚 was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) 阿多尼斯史蒂文森.

“My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

城堡, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, 說 “我以為我贏得了戰鬥. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; 很好, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

“I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is 獅子座聖克魯斯. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.”

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

“I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” 他說. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.”
