yeah they knew that it was going to be a dog fight and that's why i asked like how much of it was your instinct because it was like the corner was saying box they were saying use the ring tell us how hard it is to box and use the ring against somebody that that big yeah

yeah it was hard it's a high difference you really like give him a advantage as well yeah So I was trying, I was, you know, like, if I do that, I'm just going to run around, you know.

So in my mind, instinctively, it's like, okay, I'm staying, so I have to fight now, like, deal with it, you know.

And that's what I was trying to.

And the other side, I was a referee.

Yeah, Tom, Tom.

That he wanted me to break up his hands.

It's just a puzzle of how big he is, and you're looking at, like, what exactly, how do I, you know?

What would you say has been the hardest thing about transitioning from the MMA into boxing?

Wow, everything.

Even my muscles were sore the next day, the first day I did boxing.

So everything, I was surprised that everything was different.

So transition is mentally, physically, tactical, body-wise, it was a lot.

A lot, which it takes years and years to become a real, real boxer.

Which I work hard, we work every day, non-stop.

What would you say you appreciate most about boxing now that it's the single modality that you're focused on?
