Honestly, this is the most nervous I have ever been for a fight,” O’Malley said after the fight. He then called out Marlon Vera for a fight in December.
It seems that Vera is on board for that.

“This is just the beginning of the Sugar era,” he said.
“Sean is a lot better than I thought,” Sterling said in the post-fight interview. “I can’t say nothing bad about the guy.”
Sterling also said he would have to re-evaluate his move to 145 pounds after losing to O’Malley.
