Joe, congratulations on the lead, the performance.
Lucky, you're actually tempering with that left lead
over cut all night.
Were you a bit disappointed you couldn't get him out of there?
Yeah, look, I knew it was going to be a very tough opponent.
I knew it was going to take me a couple of rounds to get into it.
Ordering for 20 months, it's a long time in activity, but...
I knew it was going to be a much longer time
when I started finding me distant with the left over cut,
the left hand, and kind of bullying my Denver.
Like, I mean, pushing back and letting him feel
that I was there to take this fight like that.
But overall, I'm delighted with my performance and really, really tough fight, tough opponent.
It's definitely going to stand for me in first 10 rounds and I can't wait to go on to bigger fights.
I'm ready to go on a couple of weeks to get it.
Yeah, absolutely. Look, obviously this is a massive show, career arena.
What was the like to plan such an unbelievable performance?
Fire the night from, in my opinion, in for the hometown crowd.
Yeah, absolutely. Look, a fight like that is definitely an interesting one for the crowd.
I don't know if the court is going to have a really fighting like that.
But definitely, it had great battles in there.
But I knew I was coming up the best in most of the battles,
regardless of when I started,
I put my toes up and my hands full.
Fair juicing, we took really, really big shots
and it just kept coming.
But overall, I thought it was a great fight,
great performance, and as I said to the rest of them,
still on beating.
And sadly, when my first national title
when I was 11 years old,
I'd never been beaten in Ireland at any level
or any tournament.
So to have that record continuing at the age of 32,
yeah, I'm very proud of myself.
Until we do this, we'd be knocking on Dana Wood's door
asking for a performance bonus.
Look at it.
I think that'd be up to him, but absolutely.
Look at me, 50 Gs, baby.
It'd be nice to have you, nice to have you.
Congrats, man.
