I said that was a ****** decision when I heard the details & it looks ******er today. I'm always a fan of taking fight money for stepping aside like this fee woulda been. But fair play he took a L, but he gained more respect today in the ring then he'd have gotten for taking the money so maybe this pays off for him long term who f#cking knows. -

He got paid more today for sure...I said that was a ****** decision when I heard the details & it looks ******er today.

In hindsight? I suppose in any case, taking $1 mil to step aside... AND THEN facing either Canelo OR Kovalev who beat Canelo... would have been A LOT more lucrative.
Props to the kid... but WTF management. lol.Comment

Can't hate on the guy...he went to the champ's hometown and fought hard and well...if he had a little bit more in the 8th round he would have won...in any event it is good exposure for him and not a bad result...he knows what he needs to improve on nowComment
