“No, it was not my night, we must not demerit the work done by my rival, Oscar. He did a great fight, he did a great preparation and well, the result is there, the truth is that it was already hard for me to give a lot of Super Feather, I do not want to apologize because at the end of the day I think there is none in the box. It wasn’t my night, it wasn’t my best version, the truth is I didn’t feel as fast as on other nights, maybe the weight affected me, maybe the light weight I see very close and, well, to sit down with our team and see what is best for me, what is best for Miguel Berchelt ”, the man from Cancun started.
He was insisted on what could define his promotion in the category and said it would be a final analysis with his work team. “Undoubtedly, I see the Lightweight category very close, but we will stay with our work team, with Mario Abraham with Fernando Beltrán with Alfredo Caballero and we will see what was done well, what was wrong, let’s go through the tape, the film, do make the necessary adjustments and come back stronger, correct the mistakes as we did in the first defeat we had, which was a defeat we did many years ago and became world champion ”.
Commenting that there was a lot of criticism for Alfredo Caballero for not stopping the fight before that knockout in the tenth round, he said that the confidence in the work did not allow the sound coach to stop the fight. “It’s normal, people will crucify you when the results are not what you want, but the truth is that I felt good, I felt strong and I told Caballero not to stop the fight, I think that’s why he chose not to stop. I think he knows his fighter, he knows about my interest that I wanted to win, he knows what to play and well, the result was like that, I didn’t lose by knockout, these are things that happen in the boxing that you win, he he loses and you have to take him as a man who is one and other gains will come for us “, Miguel underlined.
Berchelt believes he has disappointed many who trusted him And no doubt, looking at the playoffs, it was impressive. “I saw the video, without a doubt, it was a very resounding fall, it was a complete, complete blow. The truth is, there wasn’t much to do there in the fall; the truth that I was disconnected was a very clean blow that hit me and, well, no way to correct the mistakes and come back stronger “, he described.
And finally, the promise to return inspired by one of the most inspired films in the world, that of Rocky Balboa. “I’m a fan of Rocky movies and no doubt, as the movie says, it doesn’t matter how many times you fall, but how many times you get up and go back to the ring and we’ll definitely come back stronger.” the Mexican concluded.
