QUOTES
Nicholas Musoke:
“It’s never the plan to get hit that hard in the beginning. All in all, happy with the win, but not at all with my performance especially with the way the fight started. I knew he’d come out hard although I did think I’d be able to avoid his punches a bit better. Hats off to him, he’s a tough guy.”
Viscardi Andrade:
“The moment I hit him, he rolled his eyes and stopped, so I lifted my arms. Then he moved, the referee told us to continue and it was too late. It was stupid. He recovered very well. I hit him with hard punches, a few of which rocked him, but he managed to push through and impose his game. I was well-trained, that wasn’t the problem.”
