Edgar: ‘Massive changes’ needed in rematch

“I think there’s massive changes (that need to be made) in every fight, whether you win it or lose it,” Edgar said. “But I was happy with my performance (in February). Ben’s a tough kid, and I went in there and fought hard, he fought hard, and things just didn’t go my way that night.”

So what does Edgar need to do Saturday in order to have things go his way? One school of thought is that the first meeting was close, but it was Henderson doing more damage – giving him the edge.

And if that’s the case, even Edgar admits he might have a tough row to hoe.

“Sometimes you want to make sure your punches land a little more precisely, I guess,” Edgar said. “Ben’s never had a black eye or a broken nose in any fight, so I don’t know if it’s me that can do that. I’m hoping I can, but some people can take damage a little better than others. Me, I get beat up a little bit in my fights whether I win or lose.

“(But) you don’t have to damage a guy to knock him out or to wobble him.”
