“It was an interesting fight. I don’t think anyone expected Movsar to simply want to trade blows standing up with Lerone. If that was something he felt he needed to do to secure a title shot, I’m not so sure. But you could see that he was much stronger when he decided to take the fight to the ground, and then he managed to outstrike him as well. So, for me, it was quite impressive, to be honest. Credit to him. Now he’s 20-0, and I think he’s next,” said Volkanoski.
