“Conor was a warrior 147, he is broken, he is misled, Harlem is man for him.

Suarez said: “I’m sorrowful at the moment, but it’s part of the game and I know that Navarrete won the fight, but it’s part of the game. I would like to make a rematch. I want a rematch with Navarrete.”

“He has to spend time on his body structure,” said Fury Seconds.
“I need 12 months on the figure to get some muscles on his frame.
“What failed him was his physical condition.
“Its lack of muscles. Its lack of body strength and lack of power, because they do not utilize muscles and do not work on the muscles you need at this level.

“He listened to people who have no experience in battle,” he added.
“And at the end of the day, if there was such a good coach, Sugarhill, his uncle Emanuel would leave him the highest job, right?
“He would leave him a full case, Johnathan Banks finished it. Why did Tommy Hearns not have Sugarhill? Why didn’t Lenox Lewis have him?
“Why didn’t all other Kronk warriors have him? There is a reason.
“Why do all these British fighters have and release him?
“Because he is unable and I am the first to say it.
“I have nothing against this man, I’m only talking about boxing conditions.
“The man is a very nice man, he never hurt me in any shape or form.”
