“I didn't get hurt. The point is that there wasn't any blow that hurt me badly. He's strong, he hit me and I was off balance, but I think it was a bad decision. I don’t think the referee should stop the fight so quickly,” said Evander.

The American emphasized that he was not injured during the fight and acknowledged his sadness after the defeat.

“No, I’m not hurt. It's kind of sad, but it is what it is,” Holyfield said.
