performance, Breazeale stated that "I thought I performed well but there is always room for improvement. I tried to get the first round knock-out, but I'll take the knock-out when I can get it. I would like to thank Al Haymon, Golden Boy Promotions and my team for all of their support."
When his trainer John Bray was asked about Breazeale's performance, Bray indicated that, "I was pleased with Dominic's performance and was happy to see him executing the things we worked on in the gym. He's continuing to improve and will definitely be back in the gym on Monday ready to work."
