Transcript (instagram_whisper)

He was a tough, tough cookie, you hit him with a lot, you didn't go down, but what was it like
introducing because you had some really good knees, you had some really good elbows,
were you relishing to be able to use those weapons within a fight?
Yeah man, yeah, like look, my whole career, since when I started Mojito, you know, the whole
eventual dream of when you start Mojito, you want to play A-Class, you want to be able to elbow,
so when I knew I was able to use them elbows, I was buzzing man, and I knew we're Shando there,
with Craig helping me you know there was so much there that allowed me to finally put them into
practice and I think you see him in the fight man I was trying them from everywhere like I think
one of the commentators I actually only watched that fight again there the other day I'm one of
the commentators I'm not sure it was Paul Hughes I think it was Paul Hughes but he literally turned
around he was saying like that you know for my first fight you know I've no problem trying them
in you know some people take a while to find the range that I was whipping them in like and so was he
he caught me, I had like his back at one stage and he threw his head in the elbow and he caught me
like at the side of the head and I was like he was out there hitting me with a lump and I'm like
what the fuck is going on there lad but yeah yeah so look I was putting through that the knees to
the head you know in both fights in both my pro fights now I've used them a good bit and I'm
only going to keep using them you know I'm only going to keep getting better with them and
implementing them into my game.
