Elliot Worsell speaks to the IBF super-lightweight champion after his away win in Puerto Rico YOU work hard for 12 weeks, work even harder for 12 rounds, and then suddenly it stops. The work stops, the fight stops, and all you can do in the end is hope that you have come away with the result you deserve; the result that befits all the hard work. For Australia’s Liam Paro, currently relaxing in Las Vegas, the abrupt halting of action and of work has been every bit as jarring as it has been welcome. It all stopped, as expected, the…
