Asked by ESPN's Dan Rafael if he 'truly' believes he won the fight, Broner had this to say ...
Hell yeah I believe I won the fight. Shiiit, that's like when you believe you want cheese on that burger, you know what you looking for. Hell yeah I feel like I won Dan. We got a love-hate relationship, don't make me do you like this, I got the mic I'll fuck you up here now. I really did believe that I won the fight.
What a nice man.
