Former unified lightweight king George Kambosos Jr. And Maxi Hughes talked about their fight on Saturday in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
“We won the fight with a difference of several rounds,” said George Kambosos. - This does not in any way detract from the merits of Maxi Hughes. He had a couple of good rounds. But a couple of good rounds don't win the fight. We took most of the rounds. That's why we chose him as our opponent. He is an ordeal. A lot of guys who survived losing didn't want to take a test like him. It was a difficult challenge. I needed to work harder. He moved a lot and hit a little, but that's how he fights. We knew he would be a tough opponent, but styles create fights. I should have been tougher with such an opponent."
“I am very upset,” said Maxi Hughes. - Nobody thought I was in George's league at all. Today I entered the ring and proved that they should have raised my hand. I don't want to interfere with George's celebration. I moved around the ring a lot. I made him take punches and pay for it. I landed more accurate shots. I don't want to look like an offended loser, I'll still review the fight and draw conclusions, but now everyone knows who Maxi Hughes is.
