"And if they were to have started fighting, I wouldn't have been able to do anything. But, I was there, I was doing my best.
"I had some form, but they're very strong... I just think Francis just has so much to prove here that he's going to rise to the occasion.
"With a taller man and as strong as Francis is with his solid base I just think he's going to be able to clip Ferreira at some point."
