I think he was concussed too, although this has no bearings on his classy nature

He deserves great respect for the way he conducted himself in the aftermath.

A lot of fighters can learn from him in that respect.

It reminded me of the way Tony Bellew behaved towards Usyk after Usyk beat him, almost overdoing his congratulations and good sportsmanship. Bellew was there doing some announcing last night and (future heavyweight champ) Oleksander Usyk was in the audience. All three good guys.
