Darren Till analyzes win over Yoel Romero
“If I had got bored and listened to the crowd and lunged in, I’d have got caught and dropped and potentially knocked out,” Till said during the post-fight press conference. “So analyzing through the fight where you’re going through the motions and watching and you know what he’s waiting for and what he’s doing, I couldn’t lunge in. So I had to play the chess match … and it just became that over the five rounds, just trying to pop each other.”
“It was just one of them fights. Over 18 years you have them fights. He had a terrific fight in the UFC against Luke [Rockhold], then he had a f–king boring fight against [Israel] Adesanya … Well, I wouldn’t say boring because if you understand the mechanisms of it, it was a great chess match. So it is what it is sometimes.”
