Darren Till has defended his performance against Yoel Romero at BKFC 94, labeling the criticized, low-output fight as a tactical chess match.

Darren Till has publicly defended his tactical approach during his headline bout against Yoel Romero at BKFC 94, which took place Saturday in Manchester. The contest, which was highly anticipated by fight fans, faced criticism for being a slow-paced affair characterized by frequent clinching and prolonged periods of standing on the outside.

Despite the negative reception from portions of the audience, Till pushed back against claims that the fight lacked action. He described the encounter as a tactical 'chess match' and asserted that, despite the lulls in intensity, there were moments throughout the contest where the crowd was actively engaged. The bout concluded with a judges' decision in favor of Till, a result that has since sparked debate regarding the scoring of the five-round matchup.

While the narrative surrounding the fight has focused heavily on the lack of exchanges, Till remains firm that his strategy was necessary given the opponent he was facing in Romero. The former UFC star has opted to stand by his performance, offering no apologies for the defensive nature of the fight while emphasizing the high-stakes nature of the BKFC main event environment.
