#8-Daniel James (15-6-1) defeated #7-Marcelo Golm (10-4) via TKO (punches) at :26 of round three

JAMES QUOTES: “Man, the gameplan was to come out, wait for him to throw those kicks [then counter]. The boy’s got some heavy kicks, I’m not gonna lie. I was so focused on countering him, I lost sight of what I should have been doing, so I had to pick it up.”

“This is everything I expected. I’m on a winning streak of five. Just like I planned. I feel like right now, you’ve seen me in the toughest situations in the fight. Right now, in my career, there’s no such thing as losing. I’m confident.”

“My leg will be healed. I heal fast. You can’t have nothing in Chicago without me; people are already buying tickets. It’s in June. Chicago will wait for me, so we’ll be there… I walked out to the Chicago Bulls theme song; that’s song’s going to play every time I walk out from now on out.”
