But in a small cage with four-ounce gloves, fucking flip a coin.

It is smaller than it looks.

It's way smaller because, like, from the outside looking in, it still seems roomy.

But once you get in there in those panels, it's like a fucking phone box.

Like, so...

In a boxing ring against Mikey, I think my footwork's superior.

I've got a nice long jab compared to his shorter arms.

I just keep him at the end of my jab and just move for however long it takes.

He'll get tired over 10 rounds, you know, and I would beat him.

Whereas in the IBC cage, that's gone.

That's what I like.

In a boxing fight, I've been fighting 10 rounds since my sixth fight for that Australian title.

So I never not had a 10-rounder.

So from my sixth fight, I've been game-planning for 10 rounds.

And, well, the first one or two, three rounds, you warm into it, get your range, your eyes in, you warm your chin up, you know, and then you start.

I was always a pressure fighter, you know.

Eventually I always thought my fitness would get the better of you and I would catch up and maybe end up stopping them towards the end of the fight, you know.

That's how a lot of my fights sort of happened.

or I knocked him out early.

Whereas the IBC, you don't got time or room to settle into the fight.
