Hopefully, the referee will do his job. Hopefully, we just fight and give a good performance to the crowd.

DaVarryl wanted to fight his way to the spot and Wladimir didn't want no part of it. They just wanted everything set up in their favor, knowing going to Germany is not a great thing for any American fighter.

The fans wanted to see a fight tonight and I was willing to engage. But I wasn't going to do anything stupid and risk getting knocked out just to make the fans happy.

If this were a fight, the referee would have stopped it.

I've stopped setting goals because I do not see them realistically happening, ... You can't make certain fighters fight. I will be 90 years old before I see myself unifying any belt. Right now, I'm just taking one fight at a time.

Graham Poll is a very good referee but he got this one wrong.
