Very tough for me to take a loss at this level. If you know me, you know that wasn’t me in there last night. I struggled with illness all day, and was flat from the start. I had too much pride to withdraw so close before, and things went from bad to worse when I fractured my right hand early on. Credit to Tinoco who brought his best! We live by our decisions.. I’ll be back a better fighter like the champions before me that have taken losses. Thanks for the support and messages! I’ll be begging @eddiehearn for an immediate rematch when healed ----
