00:00Well, Shakur, congratulations.
00:02Biggest fight for your career, and you come up with what looked like
00:05the finest performance of your career.
00:07Was that the performance you were looking for?
00:09Nah, I came in here to prove a point.
00:12It wasn't the performance I was looking for because I came in here
00:15trying to prove a point, and I was trying to fight.
00:17So I took more punishment than usual.
00:19But at the end of the day, I told y'all,
00:21whatever it takes to get the job done, I got dog in me.
00:24I'm not no puppy. I'm not no poodle.
00:27I'm a tough guy, so I got dog in me.
00:29I fought.
00:30You heard a lot over the last week or so about running,
00:34about punch output.
00:36What point do you think you proved tonight?
00:38I proved that I'm a dog.
00:39I was just one of the toughest fighters at 135 pounds.
00:42I wanted a lot of people to get in the ring with him
00:44and see how tough he is.
00:45So he came in, he pushed me, he pushed me to another level.
00:48You took the most punishment, at least the most punches landed,
00:52you have in your professional career.
00:54What adjustments, how deep did you have to dig tonight?
00:56I had to go in my bag.
00:58He just kept coming.
00:59He tried to pin me against the ropes, so I had to switch it up
01:01and not sit against the ropes too long.
01:03So I sat there out of time for like five to ten seconds,
01:07and that's what we did.
01:09You took control of this fight in the second half.
01:11I thought you dominated really from the fourth round on.
01:14What were those adjustments that you made in the second half of the fight?
01:17Once again, I had to stay off the ropes, pick my punches, and make sure I come out victorious.
01:22Zapater's a tough guy.
01:23I put a lot of punishment on him tonight, and I just want to thank y'all for the opportunity.
01:28You say you want to be in big fights.
01:30This was a big fight tonight.
01:31What's the next big fight you want to be into?
01:33Whoever, whoever.
01:34I want to go back to the drawing board, work on my game a little bit, get a little bit physically stronger.
01:38And when I come back, I'm going to be even better.
01:40Is that what it looks like when Jerry wins?
01:42For sure.
01:43For sure.
01:44Jerry came here and did what he had to do.
01:48Congratulations, Shakur.
01:49Okay.
01:50Look at my beautiful baby girl.
01:53She came here and she supported me, so I appreciate her so much.
01:56I love you.

01:59Thank you, Daddy.
