The whole thing is worth a watch, especially if you ask Awesome, who repeatedly told the ESPN interviewer that he “looked amazing” in that fight.
Awesome may not have won gold in Toronto, but it might be safe to saw he has a pretty bright future. You truly looking awesome.
“I thought I won the first round and I was like ‘oh, well he’s going to bring a few more for the second round”. There was obviously a few Bad Blood, as Awesome thought he had won the fight, as he explained to an ESPN reporter after the fight. “Freedom beat communism.” And then they announced the other corner. I’m not saying I’m the Taylor Swift of boxing, but I’m not not saying I’m the Taylor Swift of boxing. But as every boxing fan knows, the game is more mental than physical and positive reinforcement is encouraged, so what better way to feel indestructible and empowered than by being the Taylor Swift of your craft? “I do sit-ups. So it didn’t really affect me that much”.

“But I would say ‘hey Cam you’re so fast, you’re working the judge’s table and you’re in the ring?” Cam, keep up the good work.
