“Part of my strategy coming from (training) camp, endless repetition with the hook and the right hand I was able to do it. I knew going into the third round (I probably needed it), but due to maybe the altitude and the elevation, I was very exhausted, the same as my opponent. So I wasn’t really able to finish the fight the way I anticipated.”
