This earned Pimblett his fourth straight first-round finish and further enhanced his star power in the stacked 155 pound division. While interacting with the media at the post-fight press conference, Pimblett explained what it was like to fight on the same card as 'Meatball':

"Being on the same card as Molly is always brilliant. We feed off each other's energy. Watching her winning in the back had me going bananas in the back. Just spurred me even more to go out there and get the first-round finish like I said I was going to. And then the atmosphere when I walked out, the atmosphere when I won, that's special."

Later in the interview, Pimblett also spoke about McCann's huge KO win, which he deemed special. The 27-year-old added that he was truly impressed by McCann's heavy knockout blow, which he felt should be a 'KO of the Year' candidate.
