when I beat him for the title, I just had footwork and straight punches.

I'd box on the outside and not let him close the gap, which is, yeah, it's just piece of string is what we call it.

You know what I mean?

What Alfie calls it is just keep that distance the whole time.

Exactly, yeah.

It's mainly footwork though.

You know what I mean?

It's not letting them close the gap because if you're a better inside fighter than me, why would I want to let you

I'll give you opportunity of what you want.

I'm not going to engage with you.

Exactly right.

If I can box your ears off from the outside and not cop as much punishment, of course I'm going to do that.

Fitness is still definitely right up there.

I still believe fitness is the main key factor.

Yeah.

keep your legs strong you know because we're moving around we're cutting so many different angles and you want fresh legs for that reason for me is my legs slow down they're going to slow they're going to close the gap in you know what I mean they're going to be able to get into a range that they're comfortable and oh look I'm comfortable there but not as comfy as being able to box areas from the outside so yeah it's just you need like my legs are my biggest my key factor you know I do a lot of running a lot of leg work and

and stuff like that because, yeah, the minute they slow down, it's just going to be able to give them advantage to close the gap and fight where they're comfy.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah, it was.
