I think more as I’m moving in the ring, adjusting a lot better, and my combinations are coming out a lot better.”

“Toka is ready for this fight. He’s had a lot of good sparring. Toka is aggressive, в добро състояние, a good defensive fighter who can crack. There wasn’t a 10-round fight available on this card but we wanted this fight. Toka’s still only 23 so there’s no reason to rush things.”

“I like fighting guys that come to me like Cota,” Kahn-Clary remarked. “It makes my job easier. I can setup my punches and fights against guys like this aren’t as much as a chess match. I’ll be landing hard shots and fans like that better than a chess match.”
