Good luck to you, it's not easy in there in front of all those people in a hostile venue ..... you look fit enough, and at least you're a real fighter and not an armchair supporter (or even a delusional half-wit like a couple of people I can think of on here)

You let him boss the fight a bit, he set the pace and was dictating the pattern of the bout. I know it's easier said than done, but if you set your pace, it will tire him out quicker even if that pace is slower than his preferred one (I think it's stressful to fight at another guy's pace, and that is tiring)

Good luck though - keep it up.
