Carlos Ulberg revealed that he deliberately aimed for a first-round knockout because his corner was considering stopping the fight between rounds due to an injury he sustained. Ulberg stated that he knew he needed to finish his opponent in the opening frame and made a conscious decision to increase his power and aggression as a result. His corner had begun discussing the possibility of ending the bout if it went into the second round, which motivated Ulberg to press harder for the finish. The strategy proved successful as he secured the knockout victory in the first round before his corner needed to make that difficult decision.
