I can't go back the next day and write me wrong, got to sit there and stew on it.

But yeah, that, that was kind of the, the kick in the ass we needed to go up because future fights, we didn't want it to be an issue.

You know, the 24 hours was just becoming not enough time to replenish your body fully.

Yeah, well, after my first fight at Walter with Popo back in September, that was a title eliminator.

Put me in the mandatory spot to win over him.

I was faced to fight Donovan for another eliminator.

I don't know why.

Boxing politics.

You know, we won't get into that, but...

Um, yeah, trained all through, we, we flew our Russian sparring partner over because over that time it's, it's the Christmas break festive season.

Aussies aren't training, whatever, and everyone's spending time with their family, what I usually am doing.

But yeah, we were locked in for that fight.

Got good sparring, spent a lot of money on that camp.

We knew that the task we had ahead and 10 days out, he pulled out with sickness and that, that was all it was, was sickness.

It must have been a pretty bad cold, man.

Ten days out.

So I just, yeah, like if it was any more, I would have started full weight cutting.

Yep.

I was peaking.

I did a full camp.
