The fight was met with a muted atmosphere, with many in attendance booing in the final rounds. The result was seen as a foregone conclusion, with many criticizing the matchup as a “manufactured mismatch” .

He also expressed his disdain for the concept of leaving a lasting legacy, saying “I’m just passing through. I’m gonna die and it’s gonna be over. Who cares about legacy after that?” .
