know which was are extremely tactical fight which is not unusual we're good fighters fight you don't get catty wars all the time when two really skilled guys you know get in there and and then also someone gets hit with a punch early in a fight one guy or the other if you're like seen  and everything just went well you know for me this whole camp and tonight you know i plan on moving on the future again bigger fights you know being in a fight like the main event you know i want to unify titles and move up you know and she in front of tires and you know become powerful champion one day and i'm not ducking anyone off i anybody and one hundred and fifty four pound a vision and you know i'm excited i have a great night you know it's a great night for me like that and you know we feel we made the right decision because we came up and was fine and good opposition you know just so young eighteen years old you know i feel like the fights i had in the past you know prepare me for tonight and moving moving on further st of all if you're twenty one years old you're an impressive young man so congratulations to you and your team for your sharp young man with regard to dealing with taller fighters  the tall guys and you know to send them up big shots xom what do you think maybe you showed people tonight who had never seen you fight on c b s i show them you know i could box i go to around so you know any early but you know so then i i mean they just postpone a fight so whenever they you know get the fight each other you know i had to fight the winner whenever you know talk to our talk to anybody you know get there for you know so it doesn't matter who it is you just want here i definitely do i do expect that to be my next fight now you know if i anybody with the title i feel like this is  way and it is what it is you know to be valid back i take my defeats and i take my wins you know as a learning experience and it is really is what can i say which i did but you know he had a good game plan and it is what it is the fight a split decision and only thing i could do is bounce back i don't know you know and i was going to fight to the end i was fighting and like a true champion you know i don't know maybe do you get tired you know i was getting stronger as the fight went on i felt like i start to control a piece of a fight even though he  thank you thank you very much so guys that was a great fire right that was a great fight that was a good fight defense defense as box and baby look man i told him ahead of time you fought khan he could box you farmer t say he could punch but you never fast somebody that can box and punch at the same time you know now people forget that boxing is a sport and sports are scored on a point system right now fight fans love to see a tremendous fight and sometimes when you come to a boxing match you do get that you get what you want you get what you desire but sometimes you see boxing boxing is an art i for nest my way to victory i told you that my defense and my accurate punching is what may be victorious it was a small margin but it still made me victorious over sean porter ok danny we believe that we took a big lead we hit him with big punches early on and he had this awkward movement about him he had this awkward way he wanted to count to me i was aware of his counters i told you guys a h a wide i want to throw wide too i want to show him like you know you swing i swing better or i've been giving you all baseball references this whole week batters up he swung but he hit a home run i swung i didn't hit no  homerun but overall i landed more punches there were a few rounds where his aggressiveness and the lack of of my output may have won him some rounds but in the same essence i could use that same boxing style up my work rate and their rounds where for every one punch i was learning two to three punches in return and i knew i was winning those rounds you know he didn't like my movement and i understood that and i told you guys once again that i'm going to treat him like a computer you know we're going to copy and paste whatever's working whatever is working we're going to copy and paste you know he didn't like the different angles he didn't like the elevation of the head he constantly was trying to go to the body constantly go into the body because he can hit me to the head then we swung at the head i ducked i made a miss you know i use my jab a lot his eyes were very good i was actually impressed with the way he was able to read you know i mixed up changing the jab into a hook and it was effective sometimes but due to his lean back and his understanding of distance sometimes i was missing i well you know i mean i told you guys i do this shit for fun baby this is my day job this is my job this is my dreams this is what i'm here for i'm here for the challenge and then he garcia did challenge me today but i passed i passed he did not pass a key term interest sha blessing to be a part of boxing history today and to have a tremendous world champion like danny garcia as my opponent does you know you also start to see man i'm humble man i truly love the sport i love everything that comes with it he's strong you know i mean he hit me in the arm and one of those left hooks that he missed and i mean my arm hurts right now i mean it felt like a brick was coming i mean you know  so he's strong and i constantly said that you know what could be his weakness is his flat foot in this what could be his strength is his flat foot in this his flat foot in this allowed me to dance around him allowed me to move but it's the fact that he's flat footed when he wants to commit to punching when he wants to commit to swinging he has weight behind it and i felt the weight of danny's punches today i kept my defense i got out the way the majority of practically all of them you know and and it wasn't that effective but his power was there he was eager he would start throwing you know two hooks together three hooks together awkward uppercuts in hooks but they were swinging and not being that effective i think he has he's a little bit you know when i was backing him down he was hoppin he was doing a little bit of the side a side side a side back smother me hold me he had he had technique man he a technique but i had a superior technique and i was able to read his technique you know but ultimately it comes down to who lands the most punches who's the most accurate you know i knew there  times where my hands were off or i'm he's thrown a twelve and i have to think to myself that didn't hit me but it looks good for the judges it didn't hit me but it looks good to the crowd you know and i went in this round because he did that and i went in this way i don't know you got to take that in consideration keith you haven't gotten a knock down yet you haven't got a real ultimate spread that puts all eyes on you and on your damage nice night of boxing in my opinion thank you for your adulations on the victory thank you my question is and when you really took your foot off the gas a little bit the last couple of rounds and saw some of the comments that dan made in the ring that he was ok with that also the way the boxing matches are scored oftentimes that that that has many times in the past cost fighters victories where they may be ahead and the ease up and it cost them in the end that it all enter the thought process of yourself or you dan and why because you know how risky it can be to do that in these kinds of fights you guys got away with it i guess tonight but you know it seemed like it might have been able to possibly cause you at some point i mean cost a few rounds probably i mean that's probably why the one judge made a split right i mean we didn't win unanimous this is probably the st twelve round fight of my professional career where it wasn't a unanimous decision right so you know you're correct in that sense but as i was doing it as i was pulling back how many times that i make a mis you know i was saying if you're going to do this he cannot touch you the more he does not touch you the less credit he gets no matter if he's more aggressive no matter because you have to  scoring blows i got here late i mean here everything that team garcia had to say but he mention the horrify right and laura was very defensive and canelo was very active and it's not like activity was highly superior but like i said man when a fighter has his hands up and he's blocking but the other fighter does throw a twelve and it kind of pushes them to the left those them off to the right or whatever it does have an effect on the judges you know so if he did that you know i try to at least think to myself you got to get a little bit back in this round you got to get a little bit back in this round you've got to push and a few moments of this round there are times where my movement danny didn't like the movement right he stepped back into the middle the rain keith one time thurman do step right up step right up i want to sit in the back like non man on man come come chase me chase me not as soon as he took off the gas i got right in his face because i just wanted to be awkward for you know i mean we did what we had to do to win tonight and we try to do that each and every time we fight our way now that you have these now that you have this victory it's a great it's a great weight class you have two titles now in this weight class  will come to you both your mind and i know you want to fight the best guys but who do you want to fight in your your next fight to be honest you know i'm not sure you know his father said no rematch danny to rematch fans but i want to rematch who knows man there's a there's a lot out there but real talk real negotiations i have no clue man i want to keep giving you guys some great fights right i mean i produced two back to back those who really are in the sport of boxing knows that there was an opportunity for me to take a mandatory that we we didn't have to really address at the end of the day you know another reason why i was because that's not the fight that i wanted i can't say what i want right now because i got what i want so right now i'm going to sit back reflect and i will be stepping back in the ring sometime later on this year i'm not going to do the whole one fight performance we didn't have it's on it's unnecessary but  we're going to see what manifests there there might be some form of a rematch fight there might be some form of assist they busy fight and then there might be a great fight in the near future because the waterway division is a great division and you know the model stays the same i got to and i'm afraid to let it go if you can beat me be me ok speaking of great fights help brooke is going to fight errol spence with debbie a fight to interest you the winner of that door and then the next fight you they would fight you you know of course that's a great fight and fight in the winner is important but when will it manifest i don't know how eager of the manifestation i don't know do i want to see three world titles strapped around me of course i do do i want to see three world titles strapped around any one of the water weights in the water weight division yes i do why because ke time thurman is not just a boxer but a boxing fan and the war of boxing deserves history we live a life to make history countries nations me trump is president history ok history brock on and off is two terms history all right so it's been a long time since we've seen an undisputed champion in the water weight division right it will manifest i just can't promise you guys that win right here right now on this podium today keith congratulations we appreciate this story perspective also looking back at the round one and two there are so different you know round one you seem to jump on him and you were offensive and seemed to hurt him quite quite bad it looked like in round two you took a totally different approach by moving back used to talk us through what happened and what was going through your mind between those two to switch test in the waters man you know i mean it's my job it's my job you know i mean and when i show up i'm the boss nobody has to tell the boss you know exactly what to do luckily i've got a great adviser dan birmingham right but as my fight maybe it's my fight you know and eventually i want to i want to show you know i want to do what then getty always told me to do when we fall in the amateurs you know reflected on this fight i told myself this is a national tournaments you and danny used to compete all the time in you know one way class away from each other you never got to be in the ring with him he was a national champion you were a national champion he was a world champion your world champion i mean this is you know this is boxing and this is world class american fighters going toe to toe and you know not only did i want to show power right away that's what ben used to say go out there and show me a power boy that way they know what they're dealing with that way we get to test their heart we get to see how eager they are to step up to the challenge of facing one time ke erm you know outside of that you know damn birmingham saint pete boxen legendary winkie right when he was at the fight he comes out he shows me a lot of love every single time even if he's not at the fight he'll send me a message and it's one simple line he says all the time do you and have fun we had fun tonight that's what it was all about keith now we noticed you know it was a chess match much of the fight but it seemed like in the last minute sometimes danny would try to you know do like a sugar ray leonard steal the round with a little flurry to which you responded coming right back is that something you dismissively for this fighters that's just your mentality as a fighter you know if the guy hits you twenty three times you've got to get him back or more you know i mean it's competitive i don't know exactly what the judges are thinking and of course i don't want him to be able to steal around if he's trying to steal around i want to steal around you know i mean i mean it's a fight you know and i wanted to see you know how much last question he how hurt did you think he was in the st round you think you were going to be able to stop him i thought we definitely opened up his eyes really quick i felt like there was an ability but you know the the extra punches weren't being landed he he was doing a lot of point back you know he was taken a little bit off of some things but i started on you know i came out a little aggressive maybe more aggressive it's easy to to shock a fighter off that because they don't understand your speed they don't understand your power they don't understand how t much and that's all the time we have for this show i hope you've enjoyed it thanks for watching and we'll see you at the fi
