00:00 Everyone in the corner believed we were up.
00:02 You know, all I had to do was just keep boxing and doing what I was doing.
00:05 And, you know, I thought we was getting it.
00:07 But it was what it was. I'm not going to cry about Spilled Milk.
00:09 I've had plenty of victories and I've gave God the glory.
00:11 I've had this one loss in a close fight, you know, with a good man like Usak.
00:15 And it was what it was. I tried my best in there.
00:18 I was having a lot of fun, actually.
00:20 I don't know if it looked like it, but I was playing around,
00:23 hands behind my back. I was enjoying it.
00:25 You know, he's a good fighter, Alexander, and I was catching him,
00:27 and he was catching me, and it was a good fight.
00:29 So I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did, getting punched in the face.
00:32 Let me tell you, I'm very happy.
00:34 In my mind, I did the best I could, and I thought I won the fight,
00:36 but it was what it was. I'm happy with the performance, you know.
00:39 Both men's got paid, and both men's going home to their lovely wives and children.
00:42 And that's what it's about. We put on a show for the fans.
00:45 You know, Usak's 37, I'm 36 years old.
00:47 We're not young kids anymore.
00:49 We're at the end of our careers, and we put on a brilliant fight tonight.
00:52 So I'm proud of myself. You know what I mean? I'm proud.
00:54 In that ninth round, I was hit and I was hurt, and I rallied on back.
00:57 That's what the GK does, and it was what it was.
01:00 I'm just thankful that both got out of the ring in one piece,
01:03 and we're on to the next one.
