“The crowd was expecting a big brawl, but that’s not the way this fight needed to go tonight,” ポーターは言った. “The style that we used left the fight close. As the clock ticks, you have to do what’s working. Tonight the foot movement was working and it made Ugas have to reset.”
“I showed tonight that I belong with the elite fighters at welterweight,” ウガスは言った. “All I can say is that I’m ready to fight any of the top names in the division. 戻ってきます。”
