Yeah, that was back in 2011. That was actually my first time in America, Kansas, fighting in the ringside world championships. We both won our first fight and then we met in the semi-finals and I remember we were talking at the weigh-in and all and he was saying he was a godson of Zap Judah or something and he trained with Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson and all so he was the next big thing over there even from then and his dad was there too talking to him but it It was a good fight, it was a 3-2 split decision to him, but there were five American judges dying so I thought I won it, but it was always going to be tough against the next big thing over there. But a good experience again as an 11 year old to get that experience. That's another thing, that was one of my biggest tournaments and that was at 11, so it's crazy. I saw a video of him on the back, he's looking quite big these days. Who knows maybe one day run it back in the pros you never know in this sport yeah like Crawford moved up to 168 didn't he from 147 so you never know
