Transcript

00:00Thank you very much man. I brought a champion to the board. Thank you man. I brought an Irish champion man.

00:06Paul Rowan, just a few minutes.

00:08Very nice man, well done.

00:12My game plan was to box him if it wasn't working, go for a war.

00:16But I couldn't even go for a war because he's a very good boxer.

00:20He was hard, like any time I went forward he was slipping. He was throwing dangerous shots.

00:24I wouldn't say they were hurting me, but because of the speed and the accuracy,

00:29they were putting me down, so I was cautious going in every time.

00:33Because the speed is poor.

00:37I was in up the ground every time I did go in.

00:41He's very good, he's very sharp. He's come a long way from the first fights that he's had.

00:47I'm just getting an old man now, so he took advantage of an old man.

00:52He's a tough old man.

00:54How tough did I come Harlem?

00:56Not much tougher. He's a real one. He fights for his people.

01:00He always comes out and never lies down, and you saw that tonight.

01:04It was good, I didn't get the finish of it I think.

01:08I wouldn't say it was ever really hurt, or I couldn't have continued.

01:12But it was probably the right decision to get dropped really four times because the body shot was a body shot.

01:18He was smart with the body shot. I was talking to him in there.

01:23So the referee had to do his job, he had to step in and get that.

01:28I would have liked to finish the fight, it was a tougher round, I don't know what it was.

01:32But he's very good and he was never going to win the fight, so it was probably the right decision.

01:38Well done, Simon.
