Carlos Ulberg revealed that he intentionally pushed for a first-round knockout because his corner was considering stopping the fight between rounds due to an injury he sustained. Ulberg explained that he knew he needed to finish his opponent in the opening frame and deliberately increased his striking power beyond his usual output. The Australian fighter successfully executed this strategy despite dealing with the injury concern. His corner's discussion about potentially stopping the bout added urgency to his approach, leading to the emphatic early finish.
