dismissing Ruiz Jr's showing back in June 1 in New York. "By a lucky punch. By a punch sent by the gods," he said about his sole professional defeat. "I don't know what concussion is, but for sure, after the fight I didn't know what round [the fight was stopped]. "So, I'm just shocked it took Ruiz Jr another four rounds to get me out. Let me concuss, Ruiz Jr -- he won't get back up."Ruiz Jr got hit by a flash knockdown -- he was still raw, he wasn't well-done, he wasn't cooked yet. I should have left him a little bit longer."But the instinct in me was: 'Boom!' I ended up getting caught with a left hook on the top of the head. He ain't that skillful. He's a good fighter."
