Johnny, congratulations on the victory.
Afterwards, we saw you celebrating with
your brother. Seemed to be kind of an
emotional win for you tonight. Is that
so?
Of course, it is. Like my brother is one
of my biggest supporter. He he start his
career after me, you know, and he really
worry about me like I worry about him.
He like when I fight I get so nervous
and now he's start to get nervous. I'm
fighting top 10 for six, seven years,
you know, and my guy I train I fight to
train killers. I'm a trained killer,
too. So he have he have to worry because
you know as the guy can get hurt and
knocked out and sleeping as so do I. You
know everybody can get hurt on this game
is so the fight was very emotional for
us cuz we know how hard we train. This
is the hardest job in the world.
Absolutely. I understand that. So I want
to ask you about extreme couture. This
is a new gym for you and this is your
first fight with them. How do you feel
that affected your performance tonight?
Feel very good. I just need a little bit
more time to use my full game, you know.
I get a little bit long time in a fight,
one year, you know, and I got just a
little bit uh shy, you know, and not
very trustful. This why I heard it when
I put him down. My take down wasn't very
effective,
you know. Long time no fight, he lost a
little bit time of everything. But after
the I don't how many rounds I fought?
Two.
So yeah, on the second half they start
warm me up a little bit better, start
move better, start to feel the fight.
Okay, then okay, now it's time to to go
a little bit forward. He take a good
shots on me and I take my time to
recover. It took five three five seconds
to recover from the shots. Good clean
shots.
Yeah, this is the job. I love it.
It's a great job and obviously you
mentioned that you want to make another
run up to the title. So, who do you
think you should be fighting next? Who
would you like to face?
I have no idea. I wasn't really focused
on this Chinese guy.
I don't even look on the ranking. I
don't care what how the gun hunkers
happen. No. And whatever the matchmaker
do, I accept, you know. And how has your
experience been here? You know, in
China, you just took out the hometown
guy here. What has this experience been
like for you?
That's very good. I told you I'm going
to come here and take his his fans for
myself. The Chinese fans can still leave
you on my heart. The the dream of the
Chinese champ. I'm going to going to get
there.
Well, congratulations on the winning.
You did pick up a bonus tonight as well.
So, Pab, yes, you did. Baby,
guys.
