Well, you know, the thing is about a lefty is a lefty will have more opportunity to fight righties, you know, right-handers. Because, I mean, 70% of the population are right-handers, 30% left. So they get to fight more right-handers. And it's just a fact, you know, that happens. So the thing that they hate is fighting left against left. They don't like it left against left.

Whereas a right-hander will go right against right. But the opposite is awkward for me because just simply I like to go onto the sleeve and then I like to dominate the grips. But the actual angle of the opponent wasn't what I wanted. So I had to work really hard against it.

And, you know, I think that it's a strange one because I can still wake up that one and four years later at the Olympics because I was silver medalist at the Olympics four years later as well. And yeah, it still haunts me.
