It may be true but its always going to come off like an excuse to the fans. It's better to just graciously acknowledge defeat and try to do better next time.
When fighters use Big Nog's big book they usually only take one or two excerpts but Burkman said "fuck it" and went ahead and used the whole damn book!
He survived a beating, which is admirable. The real fight was Lombard -vs- Lombard's cardio. He knew he could simply walk down and smash up Josh with impunity so that is exactly what he did.
Burkman will get a chance to prove himself in his next fight, but there is no version of him that is ever going to contend with Hector Lombard.
