Anything he said that you think he was offside or nonsensical I think you can chalk up to low IQ and give him a pass.
Obviously hope you win T but +1 for wishing him well in all his other fights
Really the only thing I take offence to is this idea that "we were supposed to fight in October" and I was ducking him by not doing so.
The exact quote from the specialist who examined my injury was, "you won't be 100%; hell, you won't even be 80%, but it's up to you."
I'm not sorry that I had enough respect for him to not fight him at <80%. Why would he want to fight a suboptimal version of me? He wants all this credit for "3 fights in one month". So great, you're 27 years old and doing a charity boxing match and a grappling match three weeks before your fight and you want some credit for that? I'm a drug-free 36-year old athlete. I have to be smarter. Adam alluded to the age difference in the interview and Keegan blew it off, but let's not pretend that being 27 and being 36 have the same recovery time.
But overall I agree with you. He's not being malicious, he's just not that bright. As I said, it's a good thing that he's a good fighter.
