Marc-Andre Barriault dropped to 16-8, 1 NC. The 34-year-old native of Gatineau, Quebec suffered his second straight defeat.
“I had a chip on my shoulder,” Pyfer said. “Jack was the better man, 100%. I didn’t have the best camp. No excuses, he beat me. But I know what I’m capable of Joe, and I even had allergic reaction before I came to this fight. I had to get on some medicine to calm it down. I had rashes everywhere, but I still show up, I still fight. I’m coming here to bang. I told you I ain’t scared of nobody. Paul Craig come see me in February, or sorry come see me and fall, baby let’s go.”
“Joe Pyfer only needs one baby. All them haters talking all that stuff. Where you at now? Everybody say I was going to lose.”
