00:00like dude how your hands right now because i don't know if you looked at the numbers you look
00:04at the numbers are you a stack guy at all you literally threw over 300 punches my man
00:08he's through and you connected about half of those how are the hands feeling right now
00:13my hands are really sore um they scrolled up but they're doing fine um they're still bruising now
00:20the swelling's going down other than that it's okay so assess yourself when you look back on it
00:27all right you know how are you one of these dudes are you super critical yourself are you like listen
00:31i won the fight we move on it is what it is it's never going to be an easy fight
00:35do you read did
00:36you re-watch the fight i guess that's how first i got did you did you re-watch the fight
00:40yeah i
00:41watched fight about three times now um i did my job it doesn't matter if i get a knockout or
00:49tko or
00:50anything like that just go out there and get the w that's the most important thing now one thing um
00:56um listen everybody's tough right but cody proved his toughness and man like you picked them apart
01:02there's not much more you can do right you keep throwing he kept eating them it is what it is
01:06right
01:06it's just one of those deals yeah cody's cody's really tough you can see in his eyes that he didn't
01:12want to quit um so i had to go out there and do what i had to do i try
01:17just try to keep myself safe
01:18regardless because i respect the fact that cody was coming off of like a four fight win streak and a
01:24lot of them were knockouts or something like that so i i uh i expect them to have a lot
01:28of power
01:29so i was going to keep the distance and move my feet and uh stick that jab out there at
01:34him to make
01:34him work behind something the whole fight and fill that gap between me and him and and it happened to
01:39work now there was a great video of you guys embracing after the fight there's been a lot of
01:44talk about this in the combat sports uh world about respect but you can't take it too far we saw
01:50with uh
01:51you know with uh with gary and maca chaff you know he kept on hugging him after in between rounds
01:57you can respect someone but you respect them after the fight right joseph you beat them then you
02:02respect them after and you say you're a tough ass son of a bitch you want to go for a
02:05drink fine let's
02:06do it but you don't do it during the fight right what you know what's that what's that line like
02:12you respect your guy but you got to remember he's trying to hurt you and not only trying to hurt
02:17you
02:17he's trying to ruin your life and like you know to literally take food off your your plate right
02:21you got to remember that when you go in what's your mindset about that yeah i mean regardless before
02:27or after or during the fight i respect everybody um it's just you know i'm not i'm not trying to
02:33make friends with you or i'm not trying to be your friend before the fight like i i don't i
02:39don't have
02:39a disregard for anybody they're just another person like me and they're trying to feed their family
02:44and make a paycheck and earn a living things like that uh we can be friends after the fight we
02:49can
02:49drink we can shake hands we can hug things like that after the fight now i wanted to ask you
02:56and
02:57it seems like we've had a lot of guys on in the cruiserweight division absolutely stacked division
03:02right now now you've put together a four fight win streak it wasn't that long ago either you've been
03:08pretty active so what's been the difference for for you has there been like any mental adjustments
03:14physical adjustments sort of technical adjustments as far as understanding the concept of this format
03:20of combat sports because you've done it all and you know you're a student of the game what's
03:25catapulted the four fight win streak because it wasn't that long ago you were three and three now
03:29you're sitting at seven and three what's been the difference joseph um life you know i lost my coach
03:37um some of some of the people that i held the closest to me left and everything so when you
03:41got
03:41nothing all you got is you only got one thing to focus on and uh i just got something to
03:46prove to
03:46myself in a sense that uh like when my when my coach passed away you know the one thing you
03:52always
03:52tell me even when he was alive was like every coach wants a world champion and so that's just what
03:58i'm
03:58going to focus on
03:59you
