You are disappointed. I’m disappointed. The result is not good. It’s hard to see the positive side of this fight today. But… I have to tell you that I felt strong and ready yesterday. I must tell you that I wasn’t in pain for a second before this twist of fate. I hit like Badr Hari. I felt the fullness again. The result is frustrating, but the way is very encouraging. I’m on the right track… and I will not stop until I clean the division. First, let’s start with a rematch. I would like to thank you for your immense support. I love you. I will make you proud. I promise you.
