You're the first person I've really spoken to about this type of stuff. I was in hospital after the fight. I'm lying there, I've got my mask on, thinking this is so bad. Get me the morphine, get me the morphine. I've got my family around me, some of them are crying. I can hear everything that's going on.

I was technically sound for the first seven rounds, but once the cut came, I was experiencing all the things that had been restricting me leading up to the fight. And I can hear my trainer, Conor, Use the jab, Chris, use your feet. I looked at him, I said, I'm sorry, it's too late.

Because I always knew there would be fights like this where you don't have anything left, or you wanna give up, or you're hurt, but you have to fight through the demons, the issues, the restrictions. Because I wasn't willing to go the rest of my life knowing that I didn't give it my all. It lives with you forever. So the technicality of the sport was out the window. We are going to war.

Was Connor faster than you were expecting? Yep. Was he stronger than you were expecting? Yep. And it was about who wants it more. My old man's there. I've got to show him I'm capable of great things. You know, we have been estranged for years. But what caused that relationship to strain? I sent him a letter and that broke him. You know, I get emotional thinking about this.

Fucking crazy is pretty accurate. Yeah, it was a fight that I'm not going to lie, I wasn't expecting to be involved in. Um, I genuinely thought that, uh, I was going to go in there. I was going to have my way with this kid, blow him out of the water, you know, watch him quit, watch him, um, crumble under the pressure. That's really what I thought was going to happen.

And thank God that I was wrong. Because if that had happened, it would not be a fight that is now going to be remembered for ever. This is what I'm being told. This is what I'm hearing. This is what I'm seeing. This is the best I ever saw. This is the best event I ever saw. This was amazing. For a fight to reach that level of love and respect, both fighters have to go through the fire.

Both fires have to do things that may seem superhuman, may seem like impossible. They have to go through that. They have to be true. And they cannot give up. And that's what we both showed on that night. Two men who were willing to die in that ring. That's what boxing is really about. And it's so rare to see these days.

You know, we just saw over the weekend some of the best fighters on the planet right now. Devin Haney, Canelo, Ryan Garcia. You know, their fights were underwhelming, to say the least.

In those three fights, the total amount of punches landed... was less than just the fight me with me and connor so the fight with me and connor i think we landed maybe 1500 punches in their three fights in total only 1400 landed which is a pretty incredible statistic and it just shows you
