He surprised me in the first round. It didn't come the way we expected, but that's what I always say: we have to be prepared for anything. But yes, he surprised me. He won the first round, but we managed to recover. I love these battles, I feel great. For me, it was better than winning by knockout, because I love this war atmosphere,” he concluded.
