Andrew Tate Gets Torched After Baffling Boxing Loss Excuse

Andrew Tate made his professional boxing debut against Chase Demoor on the Misfits Boxing 'The Fight Before Christmas' card on December 19 and suffered a unanimous decision defeat.
Given Tate's notoriety not only in the combat sports realm but in all of pop culture, there was a lot of intrigue about how he would look in the ring. And the consensus was that he looked old (which is fair, since he's 39 years old), slow, and quick to tire against Demoor.
This has prompted a lot of criticism from fans. And Tate hasn't done himself any favors with some of his comments when speaking about the loss.

Boxing Fans Roast Andrew Tate's Post-Fight Excuse
In a December 22 live stream, Tate said, "I don't even know, I've not yet had time to process why he beat me. I got tired after the second round, and I don't know why. [In] the first and second round, he couldn’t touch me. If I didn’t get tired, I would’ve won. I'm a better boxer. But I did get tired. Maybe it's ring rust, maybe I'm too old. Maybe he's too heavy and he kept leaning on me. I don't know why. But he did beat me."
The clip of Tate asserting that he's a better boxer than Demoor and his assertion that he would have won if he didn't get tired went supremely viral, and is prompting fans to roast his post-fight sentiment.

It might be tough for Tate to live these comments down.
