Javier Fortuna – Omar Douglas Post Fight Comments – Boxing News

JAVIER FORTUNA

“He got me cold in the first round. I wasn’t surprised that he came out sharp. I worked very hard to come back and win almost every round.

“I didn’t feel the punch from the knockdown very long. It was easy to recover.

“Every time that I was aggressive I tried to follow it up with more punches. I knew in the final round that I had to finish it well to make sure I won the fight with no questions.

“The decision is done so there’s nothing else to say. I felt like I won almost every round after the first one.

“I want Jason Sosa next. That is a very big fight and beating him this time would push my career up fast.”

OMAR DOUGLAS

“He put it all on the line and so did I. I knocked him down based on reflexes. The left hook was there for me.

“I worked hard in there and I did my part.

“I feel like I won the fight. The decision was absurd. He held me the whole fight.

“I definitely want a rematch. He’s a former world champion. I gave it my all but I just didn’t get the decision.

“He was grabbing me, but that’s the game. That’s the game I signed up for. I will continue to work hard.”
