Man, Saturday night was wild.

Moments before, I was having thoughts of pulling out of this fight. I was lying to myself all week long, and no one knew any of this, but me. But then pulled some strings for me, which allowed me to walk out with the steelers jersey, hat, and towel that and gifted me before the fight. He also got my song changed moments before the fight to make this all work, and for that I am forever grateful brother.

The energy from this walk ignited something in me and made me forget everything that was holding me back. I went from mentally broken to feeling invincible in those few moments, and if it weren’t for , and yinz, that would have never happened. That was the best me in there, and I failed. But I want all yinz to know that your support and energy Saturday night, brought something out of me that I haven’t felt in 10 years.

From the start of that walk, to the very end of that fight, I felt completely free, and ready to conquer the world. I felt at peace. Yinz made me feel unstoppable. I just want yinz all to know that, and that I am grateful for all of you, regardless of the result, and I know yinz are still proud of me no matter what.

Pops, I’m sorry. I gave it all I had, and more.

I’m going to take some time to work on myself as a person and get my mind right, so this is the last yinz will hear from me for a while. I don’t know what the future holds for me at the moment, but just know I that don’t have any quit in me, and I will be back, no matter what.

Humbled. And Heart broken. But Pittsburgh I fu***ng love yinz!

That walkout was one of the best moments of my entire life. Yinz made me feel absolutely unstoppable, at a time when I needed it. Yinz made that electric, and unforgettable. Thank you to the , , and the for making that walk happen. I will always remember that moment for the rest of my life.

and , yinz made this week special for me from the moment I got there until I left, and I’m forever grateful.

As for my performance. I smelled blood, and I went for the kill, and ended up being the one who suffered. I do not regret my decision to go for the kill, but I should have more calculated in my approach. I threw caution to the wind, and it cost me.

I’ve learned that I have so much more to work on than I thought. I will be back.

Congrats to Impa
