Everyone’s keep asking me like, ‘What was wrong? Something seemed off, something’s different. You’re flat-footed.’ I was like, ‘There was nothing. zero excuses,” O’Malley pointed out.

“I felt like I got out strengthed. Like, I knew what to do in certain positions. I just felt like he was just stronger,” O’Malley said. “I didn’t feel too out skilled, out speed. I felt cardio was good.” “He’s on an 11-fight win streak. His last four fights were former champions. The dude is f**king good. Super skilled,” O’Malley continued. “I know I can beat him… He beat me on the day that mattered, so that’s the one that matters. It is what it is.”

“Woke up today and I’m still sad, Still a little bit sad. but you know what, time heals… It’s all about perspective, life’s still good. Definitely f**king stings,” O’Malley said.
