Hey, I want to let everybody know that I’m okay. I want to thank y’all so much for watching. I’ve just been so blessed this weekend I cannot complain about anything. And really, where I messed up is a poor strategy. So, my strategy was to stick to the jab, make my reads, work my feet, kind of sit on the outside, but that put me to where I’m not putting that forward pressure that I really liked to put. It also made me look timid, and that’s not how I fight. I fight very aggressive.Bryce Mitchell on Instagram
