The mantra is probably about as old as fighting itself: “I’m not looking past (Insert Opponent Here).”
There probably was no pre-fight news conference where Goliath said, “I’m not looking past David – I need to concentrate on this one fight in front of me and then think about what’s next.” But point being, fighters love to say it, even if they don’t mean it.
And then there’s Marcin Held. Even if he’s not looking past his next opponent, at least he’s honest enough to say what he really wants is something down the road.
