“It really wasn’t an exciting fight. Everybody hyped it up to be. For (Melvin Guillard) calling me out, saying he’s going to knock me the f*ck out in the first round, I would have rather had that happen, instead of him really not trying to engage with me.”
“I was trying to put he pressure, trying to engage. I’ve never really seen Melvin fight like that; where he is just moving around the whole time. I thought we were just going to go to war, but it is what it is.”
“I would have loved to put on a show for the fans, but you can’t make the other guy fight. I’d rather of him come at me like he does everybody else. I was chasing him around the whole damn time, he was in and out, but what the f*ck, we’re not fighting. Why not go out and put on a f*cking war and get knocked out.”
