Garland commented on the incident Friday and told reporters that Sergachev waited for him after the game to make sure he was ok and to "explain the punch." Garland indicated it's not something he hasn't done himself in his career.
"It hurt at the time, but I was fine. I've played like a rat since I was 16, so I'm used to it," said Garland.
