I could have added in the second and third rounds, but I decided to feel the ring and the opponent better, to breathe a little. It’s not about my experience, it’s about the right attitude. I projected the fight for myself, regardless of the opponent’s combinations and moves. It was important for me that the adversary work under my dictation. In general, this is what happened.
