Speaking on his YouTube channel Atlas said: “He didn’t know how to fight. He never really got taught, or at least he didn’t learn the things that you need to learn to be more than a big banger. And they gave him the right guys and he banged them out, he had trouble with Ortiz and he got to Ortiz late.”
“It was not indicative of how he good he was, it was just guys that he could hit and he knocked them out. But when he fought that he couldn’t knock out, like Fury and Parker now, some of those shortcomings really came to the surface.”
He continued: “You used the right word, that he got exposed. I think he got exposed, but he’s been exposed before – if he can’t hit you he’s got a problem. He’s got plenty of heart and he behaves like a fighter, he’s got good enough speed and a good chin, but when you have a plan, and you know how to fight, and you know how to avoid his right hand, you’re gonna win.
You have an automatic W against him. It’s not easy, you’ve got to go through twelve rounds of walking through minefields and not getting blown up.”
