As many had feared, Simon only lasted a few seconds in the first round. He was left lying face down on the canvas. After the match, Simon said, “I didn’t do what I was told and that is what happened.”
“Let’s see how I feel first before I talk about a plan. He came up to me afterwards and shook my hand and as it comes to me it is settled. I am not making any excuses about the fight, he was just better.”
