Post Fight Quotes
Nikolay Potapov
“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice. I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.
“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”
Stephen Young
“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision. I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.
“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there. I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”
