"Even though I had an eye injury, we knew it was the result of his right hand," Jose Pedraza said after the fight. - The whole fight, the whole point was to neutralize his right hand. Even though I was injured, I was able to do it."
"I threw some great body punches [in rounds 9 and 10]. I felt like I hurt him, and that inspired me to keep going after him. I really think it was those rounds that got me the win tonight, despite what the notes say," Pedraza continued.
"I never gave up the fight and I'm not going to start now. I'm ready for whatever Top Rank offers for me. If they demand a rematch, I'm ready to give Richard Commie a rematch because he deserves it and I have a lot of respect for him. Ultimately, my goal is to win the world title again. Whatever I have to do to do that, I'm willing to do," Pedraza concluded.
"It was a draw," Ghanaian Richard Commie said after the fight. - Now I want to go back and see my family. I love my family and I have to go back to them and do what I have to do."
