As for physical preparation and gas, he was doing very well, and rest assured: he did a lot of cardio. In my opinion, after reflecting a lot, the adrenaline consumed his energy quickly. And that could happen, because I was surprised when I saw him tired at the end of the first round. During specific training sessions sparring, he completed the five rounds within the standard. We are returning home, we will analyze all things calmly and do whatever is necessary to make him come back better. The important thing is that he is well, healthy enough to continue doing what he likes. We will criticize to build, but we cannot judge without having actively participated in the training. The moment is to encourage, after all, Erick fought hard, with heart and endured what many could not endure for even a second. He will come back and turn things around”, said Rogério.
