“About RDR against Allen, I knew Allen would win... He doesn't have the level that people think he has, and that's what Allen showed. I knew he was overrated because of his fighting style, all the holes he has in his game... I faced Allen before, so I knew from my perspective, Allen would be better than him...As an elite fighter, you can't give up. That's your job, that's what you do for a living. You are the highest level in the world, and you're showing it to people. So, you can't give up. It's like in life, at the end of the day. But I heard it was his corner that threw in the towel, so I don't know what happened clearly, but like I said, for me, you can't give up at the highest level”
