Park on the fight's key moment
“My original plan was the jab, straight and calf kick and inside leg kick. My plan was a mixture of those, so I tried to go with my plan. There’s nothing I was really surprised about.”
Park on adjusting to the time change
“I actually wanted to be more offensive in the fight, but I couldn’t because I have jet lag. I was tired in the fight. But it did go well. This time, I came nine days before the fight. Next time, I’ll come way earlier so I can get adjusted.”
Park on what he wants next
“I didn’t call my family yet, but I called my girlfriend and told her the fight didn’t really go well. But I’m going back to (South) Korea after this, so I’ll see her once I get to Korea.”
