CONOR MCGREGOR’S PROPER No. TWELVE IRISH WHISKEY TO DONATE $1.3 MILLION TO FIRST RESPONDERS: $1 Million to Tunnel to Towers Foundation in America

Erantzun
IRELAND, March 10, 2020 – Eire Born Spirits, the parent company of Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey, and the founding team of multiple weight MMA champion Conor McGregor, Audie Attar and business entrepreneur Ken Austin are pleased to announce that Proper No. Twelve will be donating $1.3 million dollars to first responder organizations around the world.



During Proper No. Twelve’s launch in late 2018, founder McGregor and his partners pledged that the whiskey company would donate $5 for every case of Proper No. Twelve sold until donations reached $1 million annually to first responder organizations around the world. Thanks to the tremendous love and support for the brand as well as the high-quality liquid, Proper No. Twelve has become a bartender and consumer favourite, setting sales records for the industry. Proper No. Twelve has sold approximately 200,000 9-liter cases in America and, based on the $5 per case donation the company will donate $1 million dollars in the United States.



The company is proud to announce it has selected the New York-headquartered Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation to receive this $1 million donation for the United States. The donation will go towards paying off the mortgages for families of law enforcement officers and firefighters across the country, who were killed in the line of duty and left behind young children. Tunnel to Towers has a score of 100 for Accountability & Transparency on Charity Navigator. Additional donations will be announced in March and April for first responder organizations in Ireland, Kanadan, UK, Australia, Errusiak, Poland and South Africa.



Conor McGregor stated, “I am so grateful to the hardworking team at Proper No. Twelve, our distributors, retailers and pub owners along with the millions of whiskey fans that have embraced the brand generating record sales. These sales enable us to make our first significant donation to such deserving families. First responders around the world are the true-life heroes. They are the ones running into emergency situations. This has been a dream of ours since we started the business. Ken, Audie and I had bold ideas for the brand, and sales have surpassed all of our projections! We are so proud to partner with the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation to honour these proper heroes. The foundation’s goal is to ensure stability and security for these families facing sudden tragic loss. I hope to inspire my fans and all Proper Twelve drinkers to join me and support this worthwhile cause.”



In addition to the donation to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, McGregor has recorded PSAs (public service announcements) to encourage others to donate $11 per month to the foundation. These spots, one of which can be viewed hemen, will air throughout the United States on television.



Ken Austin, co-founder of Proper No. Twelve said, “When we began the vetting process on where to give, we saw the fundraising commercials that Tunnel to Towers was playing on TV. My wife grew up in The Rockaways in Queens, New York. Many first responders live in that area and many lost their lives on 9-11, just as Stephen Siller did. Conor said let’s donate the million dollars to Tunnel to Towers, but we need to do more. And through the TV spots with Conor, the hope is that many will donate and we can help raise many millions for the foundation and these families.”



“We are overjoyed to receive the donation from Conor McGregor and his team,” said Tunnel to Towers Foundation Chairman and CEO Frank Siller. “We did not solicit their support – they approached us and have been nothing but generous, dedicated partners. Conor’s commitment to first responder families can serve as a role model for others. We are extremely grateful, and I know which whiskey we will be drinking this Paddy’s Day and beyond.”

About Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey

Numerous Irish whiskey makers sought McGregor’s endorsement over the years, but as a true born and bred Irishman, he did not want to simply endorse an Irish whiskey. Inspired by his pride for Ireland and his love of Irish whiskey, McGregor wanted to create his own whiskey that would match his high standards and make his country proud. McGregor, his manager Audie Attar and entrepreneur Ken Austin developed the brand under the project name “Notorious” through which came the foundation of what was to eventually become Proper No. Twelve. It became a longer and more complicated project than originally expected, so McGregor turned to a distillery with a proven history of quality whiskey making. He met David Elder, esteemed master distiller, previously of Guinness, and together they took painstaking measures to bring the whiskey to fruition. “We created close to one hundred blends and ultimately selected what we knew was the one and only proper whiskey blend. We took the time to develop an incredible whiskey, and I’m excited to share it with the world,” said McGregor. Bisita www.properwhiskey.com and follow on Instagram and twitter @properwhiskey.

FORMER UFC STANDOUT ARTEM LOBOV JOINS BARE KNUCKLE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP WITH EXCLUSIVE MULTI-FIGHT DEAL

Erantzun

Russian-Born Stablemate of Conor McGregor
To Make BKFC Debut at BKFC 6 apirilean 20 at
Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, MS



PHILADELPHIA (Otsaila 13, 2019) – Former UFC standout Artem Lobov, a stablemate of Conor McGregor, has requested his release from UFC in order to sign an exclusive multi-fight deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship(BKFC) and continue his combat sports career with BKFC as the organization prepares for a banner year.

“I feel Artem is a great addition to our roster and his style is made for this sport,” said BKFC Founder and President David Feldman. “Attracting and signing a guy with the following that Artem has is a perfect match for where we are right now as an organization. I think this signing speaks volumes for the direction BKFC is heading.”

Lobov will be making his BKFC debut on Saturday, April 20 as part of BKFC 6, which will take place at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, MS. He’ll face Biloxi native and fellow UFC veteran Jason Knight.

“Jason Knight is an action, hard-nosed fighter who will be fighting in his hometown for the first time in a long time,” continued Feldman. “This is a true crossroads fight. I personally think this is a Fight of the Year candidate.”

“I cannot wait to fight for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship,” said Lobov. “I have been following them since the beginning. I love what they are doing and I thank David Feldman for believing in me. I look forward to this new stage in my career and I think it has the perfect ruleset for me to perform at my best ability. I look forward to becoming a star in this sport.”

The 32-year-old fighter from Russia made his name on Season 22 of Ultimate Fighter as part of Team McGregor, where he worked his way to the finals of the tournament before losing to Ryan Hall. He challenged Cub Swanson in a UFC main event in 2016, after picking up victories over Chris Avila and Alex White. While he lost his last three UFC bouts by decision, he owns 13 professional MMA wins and will take that experience into BKFC action.

Floyd Mayweatherren kasua, Jr.. Vs. CM Punk UFC Cage-n

Erantzun

By: Rich Bergeron

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. ez da borrokan amaitu. Alde bakarreko boxeo partida batean Conor McGregorrekin lortu zuen dirua ez da oso erraza izango borroka kirolen mundu arriskutsutik kanpo lortzea.. Erretiroak beti Floyden jaten duela dirudi, eta lehenago edo beranduago itzultzen da mundua harritzen duen beste blockbuster bat egiteko.

 

CM Punk-ek zozketa bat behar du bere karreran interesa pizteko. Nahiz eta hurrengo mutilari beti bizirik dagoen zitala gainditzen badiote UFC Octogon-en elikatzen diote, Punkak oraindik asko izango du frogatzeko. Jarri Mayweatherren aurka mundu mailako boxeolariarentzako MMA borrokarako ongi etorrian, eta egin ezazu kontratuan nahi dituen abantaila eta babes-emakida guztiak ematen dizkion Floyd-en ametsa..

 

Floyd berehala McGregorren aurka sartuko den underdog automatikoa izango litzateke kaiolan. CM Punk bezalako desafio batek borrokarako aukera gehiago ematen dio. CM punk-i bere karrera benetan abiarazteko aukera ematen dio Floyd irabazten badio.

 

Izan ere,, Mayweather-ek arte martzial mistoen kirola azkar ikas dezake, eta bere abiadura eta atletismoarekin, aukera deigarriagoak emanda, bere lehen MMA borrokan harritu gaitzakeen… benetan kaiolan borrokaren hitzak ekintzarekin babesten baditu.

 

Boxeo partidarako biran, Floydek behin eta berriz aipatu zuen McGregor kaiolan borrokatzeko ideia boxeo-partidak bere bidea egin ostean.. Ez ditu egiazkoak direnik edo egia izan daitezkeen gauzak ozen esaten.

 

Duela urte Las Vegas-en Mayweather-en entrenamendu saio batean Leonard Ellerberen ondoan ring-ertzean egotearen zortea izan nuen..

 

Gupelei ukabilkadarik eman baino lehen galdetu nion zer gustatzen zitzaion gehien boxeoa. Ez nintzen hurbiltzen saiatu prentsaren presa handian, beraz, uste dut ez zuela galderarik espero.

 

Isilik eseri zen, eta ez nuen nahi zintzilik zintzilik ipurdi bat bezala haizean. galdetu nion berriro, are ozenago. Ez zuen nire bidera begiratu bere buruarekin itzala egiten zuen bitartean. “Dena.” onartu zuen azkenean, eta gero, bere abiadura eta ukabilkada trebetasuna erakusteko lanera joan zen hedabide guztiek ikus zezaten.

 

Ukondoak sartuz, atzerako ukabilak, ostikadak eta borroka errutinan aritzeak benetako munstro bat sor lezake Mayweather-etik. Era, kaiolara segituko zuen boxeoaren dirua izugarria izan liteke berarentzat eta UFCrentzat. Bere adinean lan piloa beharko da kirol berrira egokitzeko, baina CM Punk-ek lehen aurkari gisa nahiko baxu jartzen du bi gizonek euren partaidetza erakusteko aukera izan dezaten.. Eman biei entrenamendu serio bat, egin reality show bat hortik, eta gerta liteke.

 

 

 

“Dirua” Dagoeneko prestatzen ari da arte martzial mistoetan entrenatzeko Tyron Woodley UFC Champ-ekin, eta duela gutxi Woodley eta McGregor borrokalari gisa goraipatu zituen:

 

«Beraz, gauza batzuk moldatu behar ditugu, eraman gauzak hurrengo mailara. Badakizu ezin dudala MMA-ko tiporik ahaztu edo kolpatu. Tyron sinesgaitza da. Borrokalari sinesgaitza, lehiakide gogorra. Conor McGregor, lehiakide gogorra da, kaixo borrokalaria. Gogor asko dago, MMAn dauden mutil zakarrak eta ezin ditut mutil horiek ahaztu edo errespetatu".

 

 

 

MMA versus Boxing eztabaida nire iritzia egitea erabaki baino askoz lehenagotik egon da aditu bat beste baten aurka jartzen duten irratsaio batzuekin.. Nire gogokoenetako bat zen “Iceman” John Scully Ken Shamrock-en aurka.

 

Ez da harritzekoa, bi borrokalari/entrenatzaile aditu hauen arteko eztabaida Mayweather-era joan zen MMArako gurutzapena eginez. Hau ez da Floyden kontzeptu berria. Hamarkada bat baino gehiago daramatza MMAn inoiz egin ez zuelako kritikariek, beti pentsatzen nola egunen batean bere gorrotoak gaizki frogatu ditzakeen.

 

 

Bere pisu-mailako MMA borrokalari onenak Floyd eraisten duela uste duen edonork ez du inoiz ikusi entrenatzen. Zer egin lezake tipo honek sintonizazio borroka pare batekin eta titulua okertu batekin? Zer moduz 9 hilabeteetan entrenamendu gogorra hartu eta aurkezteko defentsan?

 

MMAri buruz ezer dakiten guztiek eta haien anaiak MMAn huts egin zuten iraganeko boxeolari guztien argudioa erabiltzea erabakitzen dute.. Randy Couture-k James Toney erraz garaitu zuen freakshow borroka oroitzen digute.. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. ez dago James Toney kaiolan borrokatzeko aukera izan zuenean baino maila ezberdinean bakarrik, beste planeta batean dago.

 

 

Floydek entrenatzaile onenak ordaindu ditzake, dena onena benetan UFC Octogon sartzeko prestatzeko. Ez du gasturik galduko finantzak eta izerdiko ekitateak boxeoaren eta MMAren lehiaren historiako crossover borrokalari onena gisa duen ondarea sendotzeko.. Nork dituen benetako kirolari onenak? Mayweather boxeoaren onena ordezkatzen ari da, eta ez du denbora askorik geratzen mundu mailako boxeolari batek ikuspegi eta estrategia egokiarekin MMA eszena menderatu dezakeela frogatzeko.

 

 

 

McGregorrek frogatu zuen Floyd-i boxeo-ringean eraso batzuk eman zizkiola, baina UFC kontratuaren hirugarren borrokan partida hori berriro gerta liteke kaiolan. Floydek berea dela erakutsi behar du, baina lehen urratsa bere hitzak ekintzekin babesteko gogoa izatea da. McGregorreko borrokarako boxeo prentsa biran esan zuen McGregor irabazi zuenean bere lanbidean, UFCra joango zen eta kaiolan Conor irabaziko zuen, gehiegi.

 

 

 

bat aurreikusten dut “Shark Tank” Mayweather eta Dana White UFCko presidentearen arteko negoziazio mota. Floydek promozioaren zati bat lortu beharko du, babesteko diru-kopuru basati baterako sarbidea, komunikabideetako diru-sarrerak biltzeko aukerak, eta bederen $10 milioi borroka bakoitzeko oinarrizko soldatan. Aurreikusten duen mila milioi dolarreko kontratua lortzeko, abokatuek xehetasunak argituko dituzte Floydek bere lehen borrokarako entrenatu behar duela erabakitzen duen bitartean..

 

Floydek erraz sartu lezake $90+ milioika babesteko eta komunikabideetako diru-sarrerak egiteko $100 milioi bat borroka bakoitzeko Showtime-ko zuzendariekin bere txokoan eta kameren aurrean egotearen ezagutza. Bost borroka akordioak esan nahi du bat dagoela 1/2 milioi dolarreko tartea UFC-k Floyd-i oinarrizko soldatagatik zenbat emango liokeen gutxiesten ez badut. Egiten badu ere $200 milioi borroka bakoitzeko, gainerakoak korporazio orokorretik bertatik atera beharko lirateke ondare gisa, horixe da Conor McGregorrek eskatzen duena.

 

Floydek jabea/bazkide izateak alde handiagoa du eta abantaila handia izango litzateke UFC-k noizbait boxeoa sustatu nahi duenean.. Gainera, bere zaleak eta diziplina berrian azotatu eta eskolatzen ikusi nahi duten guztiak ekar ditzake. Begiak ekartzen ditu, Muturreko arreta eta dirua berarekin joaten den tokira. Batean $5 mila milioi balioespena, UFC-k litekeena da sustapenaren ehuneko hamarreko zati bat alde batera utzi ahal izatea Mayweather ofizialki ontziratu eta epe luzerako akordio baterako blokeatu ahal izateko..

 

 

Floydek eragin handia izan dezakeen beste arloa boxeolari gehiago erakartzea da MMAra pasatzeko.. Matt Mitrione eta Greg Hardy bezalako futbolariek ia berehalako arrakasta izan dutela MMAn ikusi dugu, beraz, zergatik ez Floyd bezalako mundu mailako boxeolari bat? 19-0 Gervonta Davis boxeolari profesionalak Floyd babestua MMAra jarraitzen duela iradokitzen du eta dio Dana Whiteren telefono-deiaren zain dago. Gero, pisu astunetako boxeolariak daude kaiolara ekartzea pentsatzeko, eta Hitzaren Txapelduna Anthony Joshua gogotsu dago jaurtiketa emateko, gehiegi.

 

 

 

Beraz, litekeena da Mayweather aurtengo abendurako lehiatzeko kaiolan sartzea gaiari buruz orain arte izan duen bideo polemikoenetako bat uste baduzu.:

 

 

Mayweather MMA borrokalari paregabea izan daiteke aukera erdia ematen bazaio. Ez da horrelako erronka bat arin hartzen duen gizona. Ahalik eta hurbilketarik onena izango du kaiola-borrokan sartzeko. Era guztietako interesak ekarriko ditu berriro boxeo vs. MMA eztabaida eta benetan eztabaida horren fase berri bat ere inspiratu dezake. Borroka-kirolen munduak, oro har, onura izango du Floydek eta UFC-k lankidetza hau funtzionatzen badute.

 

 

Floyd bizirik jango dutela uste dutenei dagokienez, zalantzarik gabe euren iritzia jasotzeko eskubidea dute, baina ez erabili McGregorren porrota boxeora egokitzeko zure taberna gisa Floydentzat. Mayweather-ek ez du mundu mailako MMA borrokalari bat hartuko kaiolan sartzen den lehen aldian. Ez du Paulie Malignaggi-ren MMA baliokidea ekarriko kirola azkartzeko. Ez du gasturik izango ahalik eta prestaketa onena lortzeko. Dagoeneko hori egia dela erakusten ari da Tyron Woodley bere prestakuntza-kide ofizial gisa ekarriz. Eskuz aukeratuko du bere lehen aurkaria eta ziurrenik ez du titulurik lortuko bizpahiru borrokak bere bidea egin arte.

 

MMA gimnasio batera agertu eta sei aste barru UFC mailan atera daitezkeela uste dutenen kritikak erotzat joko nau, baina Floyd benetan zalantzan jartzen dituen atleta harrigarria da, eta ez da gaztetzen. Orain edo inoiz ez da galdera hori konpontzeko zein kirol den benetan borrokalari ideala lantzeko.

SHOWTIME Sports Confirms Aug. 26 SHOWTIME PPV® Presentation Of Mayweather vs. McGregor Second Biggest Pay-Per-View Of All Time

Erantzun

Argazkia Kreditu: Esther Lin / SHOWTIME

SHOWTIME SPORTS confirmed today that the SHOWTIME PPV presentation of Mayweather vs. McGregor on August 26, 2017 generated 4.3 million pay-per-view buys in North America. This includes traditional television distribution and online portals such as the new SHOWTIME PPV app and SHOWTIMEPPV.com as well as UFC.TV in U.S. eta Kanada.

Mayweather vs. McGregor, a four-fight SHOWTIME PPV boxing event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, officially stands as the second largest pay-per-view event of all time behind Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, which set the North American pay-per-view mark at 4.6 million buys in 2015. The SHOWTIME PPV totals for Mayweather vs. McGregor far exceed the now third best event in history—nearly doubling the 2.48 million buys for Oscar De La Hoya vs. Mayweather in 2007.

The total global revenue from the event including ticket sales, sponsorship and international distribution exceeds $600 milioi, which—along with Mayweather vs. Pacquiao— is among the largest for a single-day sporting event of all time. Mayweather and SHOWTIME PPV now account for the three highest grossing pay-per-view events in television history with the third-ranked event Mayweather vs. Canelo from 2013.

Erantzun

This week’s combat sports show covers a wide range of topics. Tom, Tony and Rich discuss the dud of a boxing match that proved McGregor needed about six more months of “proper fookin” training to be more competitive in. Mayweather cruises to 50-0, but Rich questions if that really eclipses the true 50-0 circumstances that would have made Rocky’s unbeaten streak more impressive. After all, Mayweather did not possess an active title belt at the time of the win and the “Money Belt” shouldn’t count as a true championship he was defending. Rocky retired undefeated, owning the belt at 49-0. To eclipse Rocky’s record Floyd would need to have a world title belt or multiple belts at the time of his 50th win being recorded. We also discuss everything else going on in the combat sports world, except Ronda Rousey and Travis Browne getting married.

LAS VEGAS (Abu. 27, 2017) – Future Boxing Hall of Famer Floyd “Dirua” Mayweather ended his historic career in style larunbatean night with a convincing 10th-round technical knockout victory over UFC mega-star Conor McGregor in the main event of a four-fight SHOWTIME PPV event from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The 40-year-old Mayweather, fighting for the first time in 714 egunak, announced after the fight that he will never fight again, ending his 21-year career in style by controlling an all-action fight that thrilled the 14,623 fans in attendance and watching around the world. With Mayweather coming forward just like he promised, referee Robert Byrd stopped the super welterweight fight at 1:05 of the 10garren round as Mayweather punished McGregor with a series of blows that staggered his weary opponent.
Irabazi duen, the five-division world champion from Las Vegas becomes the first boxer to finish his career at 50-0, eclipsing the record he had previously shared with the legendary Rocky Marciano.
“I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see,” Mayweather told SHOWTIME ringside reporter Jim Gray after the fight. “I owed them for the Pacquiao fight. I had to come straight ahead and give the fans a show. That’s what I gave them.”
All three judges – Dave Moretti (87-83), Burt Clements (89-82) and Guido Cavalleri (89-81) – had Mayweather ahead on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood had Mayweather ahead by the score of 86-85.
The first two-division champion in UFC history, McGregor, Dublin, Irlanda, said he was fatigued as the fight got into the later stages. “He’s composed, he’s not that fast, he’s not that powerful, but boy is he composed in there,” the 29-year-old McGregor said. “I thought it was close though and I thought it was a bit of an early stoppage. He was just a lot more composed with his shots. I have to give it to him, that’s what 50 pro fights will do for you.”
Both fighters had their moments in the early rounds. Laugarren txandan, Mayweather forced McGregor to back-pedal and continued to force the action.
At the midway point of the fight, Farhood had given the first three rounds to the more aggressive McGregor, but then rounds four, five and six to the more accurate Mayweather.
“Our game plan was to take our time, go to him, let him shoot his shots early and then take him out down the stretch,” Mayweather said. “We know in MMA he fights for 25 minutu. Ondoren 25 minutu, he started to slow down. I guaranteed to everybody that this wouldn’t go the distance.
“Our game plan was to go straight ahead. I said numerous times that I wouldn’t back down and that’s what I did.”
McGregor said he would consider boxing again, and would also return to fight in the UFC. “I’ve been strangled on live TV and came back,” esan zuen. “When you’re in here in the squared circle, everything is different. Let the man put me down, that’s fatigue, that’s not damage.
“Where was the final two rounds? Let me walk back to my corner and compose myself.”
Mayweather was lethally accurate in the final round, lurreratzea 20 of 26 power punches before the referee stopped the fight. McGregor had a 51-40 advantage in punches landed over the first five rounds but was out-landed 130 ra 60 in rounds six through 10 as Mayweather put an exclamation point on the final fight of his career.
“Rocky Marciano is a legend and I look forward to going into the Hall of Fame one day,” Said Mayweather. “This was my last fight Gaur gauean. For sure. Tonight was my last fight. Tonight I chose the right dance partner to dance with. Conor, you are a hell of a champion.”
Co-nagusia gertatuz gero, boladan igotzen izar Gervonta “Tank” Davis defeated unbeaten challenger Francisco Fonseca via a controversial eighth-round knockout 39 errondara segundo.
The 22-year-old Davis (19-0, 18 Kos) landed a series of clean blows before an apparent shot to the back of the head sent Fonseca down. Referee Russell Mora gave the 10-count allowing Davis to earn his 18th stoppage win in 19 profesionala borrokak. The fight was originally scheduled to be Davis’ second defense of his IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship, but Davis failed to make weight ostiralean, coming two pounds over the 130-pound limit that Fonseca (19-1-1, 13 Kos) pisatu-at.
“I threw the shot as he put his head down,” Said Davis. “I was definitely going to stop him eventually. He was in trouble before the last shot.”
Davis continued, “I’m going to stay at 130 pounds and try to get my title back. I still want to unify the junior lightweight division.”
Fonseca said he was sent to the canvas with an illegal blow.
“Everybody saw that when I was going down, he hit me twice behind,” Fonseca said. “It’s a blow that’s not legal. It was here in Las Vegas, so he had the crowd going for him, and I just want a rematch. He never hurt me with that exchange. Even though he came in at 160 pounds today, he doesn’t hit as hard as they say he hits.”
Former super middleweight champion Badou Jack became a two-division world champion with a TKO win over Nathan Cleverly to capture the WBA Light Heavyweight World Championship.
The Las Vegas-based, Swedish-born Jack (21-1-3, 13 Kos) out-classed Cleverly (30-4, 16 Kos) in a one-sided bout that was stopped by referee Tony Weeks with 12 seconds remaining in the fifth round. It was the first fight for Jack since moving up from 168 pounds to 175 kilo.
Jack had recorded majority draws in each of his past two fights against James DeGale of England and Canada’s Lucian Bute.
“Honez ametsa,” said the 33-year-old Jack. “I’ve learned that you can’t leave it in the hands of the judges.”
“Jack was very strong,” Said Cleverly. “He caught me and broke my nose in the third round. It was a downward spiral from there. I was wounded and protecting myself. It’s horrible but part of the sport.”
Jim Gray asked Jack who he would like to fight next, Andre Ward or Adonis Stevenson? “I think Adonis Stevenson, let’s get it on. I’ll go to Canada. I’ll go anywhere.”
“I got a little excited at times but I barely got hit,” Jack said. “My boxing IQ was the difference in this fight. Everybody doubting me motivated me. My trainer and my team did a great job getting me to this point.”
