Post-Fight Quotes
- "I want to say thank you to Jorge Linares, he is a great fighter and he gave me one more lesson in boxing. I knew about this punch (Linares' straight right). But he is good. I prepared for the last few rounds, and my father told me, 'You need to go to the body'." - Vasyl Lomachenko
