00:00Sammy?
00:01Ah, I'm feeling alright.
00:03For a 12-gram fly, I'm feeling not too bad.
00:06Don't worry about it. How's the hand good?
00:08Yeah, it's great, mate.
00:11It didn't seem to stop you throwing.
00:13Ah, I kept on about how many I had to.
00:1612-gram fly, not too bad.
00:20I was thinking about the 9th round.
00:23I thought I was going to go all the way back in.
00:26But, yeah, got through it.
00:28It's just I'm too serious.
00:30I'll be back out in the end of the year.
00:32Do you enjoy a fight like that?
00:34Back and forth at times, I know it's pretty hectic, isn't it?
00:36Yeah, it was a good tough test.
00:38That's what we want in a fight.
00:40We don't want to be a tough guy.
00:42That's what we want.
00:44I'm not here for an easy, over-the-top fight.
00:46For some people, you know.
00:48I don't have too much on my plate.
00:50I'm a world-renowned fighter.
00:52And I had a tough test for a reason.
00:54That's why we took the fight.
00:56I'm only going to learn and grow from the experience.
00:58That's what we're doing.
01:00I'm not here forever.
01:02So, my only experience in a fight is
01:04someone's fight, back line, counting,
01:06in front of all my friends in the gym.
01:08They don't know how to count.
01:10It was a number 9 guy I was in front of
01:12for a long time.
01:14Don't you worry, this hand's going to set you back a bit?
01:16I hope not.
01:18I'm too serious.
01:20I said, you know,
01:22you've got to get on with that.
01:24It was a little early.
01:26We settled on the first round.
01:28It was too early for me to make a decision.
01:30Hopefully, it's not going to happen.
01:32We had quite a good show.
01:34It was hard.
01:36I felt
01:38very convinced.
01:40I had a lot of one-sixers.
01:42I saw again that
01:44later in the night,
01:46I really felt like
01:48something.
01:50It didn't feel quite right.
01:52It was early on.
01:54I was almost trying to touch him
01:56a bit with it.
01:58We got through it.
02:10Do you feel like
02:12if you didn't hurt the hand,
02:14you would be able to stop him?
02:16I'd say he's a good fighter.
02:18He's a good fighter.
02:20I didn't get him out of there.
02:22It was a 12-round fight
02:24against these world-class boxers.
02:26You really got to hurt him.
02:28I wasn't good enough
02:30to stop him.
