Isn't it also a way to praise himself and his boxer Pac? If he said something like "Well, anybody can get connected in the sport of boxing. Pac landed a great show and that's how things ended. No big deal, Hatton can get back in shape..." or something. It would take credit away from the win, in a way or the other. So instead, you have him saying that it was a destructing devastating KO coming from his very own, the one and only, Pac, who sent him to retirement.
