Katsuyori Shibata
Tell us about the fight.
I didn't do anything worth remembering. It's embarassing.
I wanted to do well since I said I would, but my opponent was very strong.
That's all I can say.
Did you not have enough time to prepare?
If I say that, them I'm just making excuses.
Once I say I'll do something, then it's my responsibility. Today was about ability.
Any other impressions of Ishii?
He was really powerful the way he held me down.
You've lost another fight. What's in your future?
I wanted to win this one and come out even. But I did what I could.
Next year, I'll fix what I need to fix, and train, train, train.
It looked like you were careful coming up?
It had nothing to do with being careful. I wanted to fight a good fight.
Maybe I should have just tried to hit and dodge.
My legwork was fine and I moved like I wanted to, but Ishii was too strong.
How is your left elbow?
I don't know if I tore a ligament or just pulled it out of its socket.
It made a clicking noise and that's why the fight was ended.
