Kozma on his loss to the Brit: I took the first punch and it was no good, I want my title back. What will he do with the money from Game Changer?
It’s been almost a month since David Kozma fell for the first time in the Octagon and lost his welterweight title for the first time in a long time. In hindsight, how does he feel about his mismanaged duel with Brazilian fighter Kaiko Brito?
It’s been almost a month since David Kozma fell for the first time in the Octagon and lost his welterweight title for the first time in a long time. In hindsight, how does he feel about his mismanaged duel with Brazilian fighter Kaiko Brito?
Ostrava was looking forward to a spectacular tournament at the beginning of December. We got it, quite possibly the best gala of the year. Unfortunately for the home crowd with an unpleasant ending.
The atmosphere in Ostravar Arena was phenomenal all night. When the home favourite David Kozma came on in the main game, it was impossible not to get goosebumps. But his duel with Kaiko Brito did not go at all as expected. Neither his nor the fans’.
Brito clearly had the upper hand from the start, hitting Kozma with five knockdowns in the bout and eventually winning by TKO in the third round after a sovereign and surgically precise performance.
Meanwhile, it was the fight with the Brazilian that the Pink Panther wanted. “There was no one left in Welterweight that I couldn’t beat. Plus, he suited me in style. He’s a stand-up guy who is worse on the ground,” he justifies his wish in retrospect in replies to fans on his YouTube channel.
And how does he rate the fight in retrospect? “It was a bad one. I got hit in the first round… When I watched it, I thought I should have jumped around him more, run around him more, prepared myself and not go into the shootout with him so early,” Kozma is clear.
“I took the first punch and it was no good. It was riding me from the first moment. My legs weren’t listening, my takedowns weren’t coming, I was staggering from the first moment, so it was bad all the way around,” he added.
It is for Game Changer, in which he will fight for 300,000 euros, that he is now slowly preparing, with full preparation to begin in January. What will he do with the money he makes? He plans to consult specialists, buy a house or invest.
