""The fact that he showed up at the fight, he's walking around, you know, seemed fine. You know, it was a little weird to me.""
Johnny Eblen says he doubts the severity of Costello van Steenis’ reported knee injury after van Steenis withdrew from their planned rematch. Eblen says van Steenis looked healthy while attending the Austin event and doing media, but stops short of alleging deception.
