Post-Fight Quotes

  • "When I landed the combination, I thought he was done. I should have done that earlier in the fight. It took me a little time to get the distance I needed and to get my rhythm. He was a good defensive fighter. Anytime you defeat an undefeated fighter, you've accomplished something." - said Wladimir Klitschko.
  • "I saw the punch coming but I couldn't react fast enough to get out of the way. I wasn't surprised by how hard he punched. He had a better jab than I thought he would. He's very strong. He's got a good defense and good jab. I thought I could get behind my jab better and my right hand. I wasn't able to. He's got good movement and he's very good. I'll be back. I will still be champion." - said Calvin Brock.
  • "Wladimir fought a good fight. Calvin didn't move his head as much as he did in camp and he didn't move as much laterally as he did in camp." - said Tom Yankello, Brock's trainer.
