Former 130-pound champion Tevin Farmer gave his thoughts on getting stopped in the first round by up-and-coming Floyd "Kid Austin" Schofield, Jr. on Saturday. Here is what Farmer posted on Facebook: "Boxing is a brutal sport, anything can happen on any given night. That’s the reality of this game, and that’s why it’s called boxing. I felt the referee stepped in way too early. As a champion and an elite fighter, I deserved the chance to fight through it, to show what I had. But it is what it is. I’m healthy, I’m standing tall, and I’ll always keep it real. The odds have always been stacked against me. I’ve never had a clear path. But no one man is bigger than the sport. I knew what I was up against, the politics, the setups. I’ve seen it all. The ref made his decision. But if it had to be anybody across from me that night, I’m glad it was Kid Austin. [He's] a talented young Man and a great kid. I got nothing but respect. At the end of the day, I already won. I won at life.

I’m a stand-up man who overachieved when nobody expected me to. I’m Tevin Farmer and I’ll be remembered, regardless. Love you all."
