Barriault on the fight’s key moment
“I felt he was strong during the first round, so he hit me with a couple of good shots, but I stayed composed and I just worked the game plan. The game plan was just to let everything loose, be confident, just work the timing and let the hands go, so that’s what I did.”
Barriault on fighting for himself
“It means a lot man, just to liberate myself with everything going on right now. I did it for me, first of all, for my fans, for my team, for my family, for everybody. But for me, it’s a good feeling. It’s amazing, and of course I will enjoy it very good this summer.”
