‘The Hated But Deserving’ Belal: The Fighter Who’s Better at What Burns Is Good At
Muhammad, who has made his feelings for ‘Chaos’ clear in recent times, candidly shared his thoughts on the situation. “That was the cool thing about the whole situation,” Muhammad said. “Them giving the shot to Colby, I think it, like, worked out better for me because that’s when the fans started being like, ‘All right, well, bro, that doesn’t make any sense at all. This guy’s on an eight-fight winning streak. He has history with Leon. What else does he need to do?’
Even the haters, I was getting so many messages, like, ‘I hate you, but you deserve the title fight.'” Muhammad’s confidence in his skills is evident as he prepares for war against Burns. He believes that Burns hasn’t fought anyone like him, who can push it, move, and adjust in-fight like him.
He has been studying Burns and his style and knows what to expect. “He doesn’t really change his game plan or his style up. And this being a short-notice fight, there’s not a lot of strategy that comes in it from his side. It’s like, ‘Well, I’m gonna do this because I’m good at it,’ but I’m better at what you’re good at.”
