Aftermath
editSpeaking after bout Charlo said "I made my team proud and I did what I was supposed to do, I executed the game plan. Ronnie Shields told me that I passed the test tonight. I'm happy to go back to the drawing board now and figure out what's next. He was tough, but I knew he was going to be tough. I knew he'd come to fight, I just didn't know how and when he'd try to turn it up. I felt like I never really let him turn it up and that was the game plan. I studied well and I didn't let the pandemic affect my training. I just want to keep fighting and not let any negative interrupt the positive."[6]
