"I don't want to sound like someone who doesn’t know how to lose, but it completely changes the course of the fight. In the second round, he caught me in the eye and then started finishing with elbows, but I confidently take the third round. Imagine if this hadn't happened in the second. My distance perception was off — they were yelling at me to perform a takedown, and I didn't understand if he was close or far.
I believe that I definitely won the third and fifth rounds. If he had been deducted a point, as he should have been, it would have been a draw. I don't want to seem resentful—tears won't help, but there is some residual feeling. Now I understand how Jared Gordon felt after the fight with me. I knew the judges' scores wouldn't be in our favor, even though it was clear that my eyes were bright red. He poked me in both the left and right eye, so the score should have been 48-47 three times in my favor," the Briton said in a video on his YouTube channel.
