He was rocked multiple times in the later rounds and was essentially fighting to stay on his feet and merely surviving by clinching up against Demoor with every opportunity. While Tate deserves a ton of credit for stepping into the ring at all, there&#8217;s no question his fan base expected a better performance. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766282109_950_01jyrzcmapwhwnmcy0j7.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew Tate\" title=\"Andrew Tate\" width=\"1834\" height=\"1031\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"52\"\/><\/p>\n<p>IMAGO \/ Cover-Images<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Tate Speaks Out After Disappointing Decision Loss<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"59\">Tate has since shared several messages since coming up short against Demoor, the first of which arrived when he was interviewed in the ring moments after not getting his hand raised. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5c\">&#8220;10 years out, 40 years old. Gave it my all, but he&#8217;s tough. He&#8217;s really tough.
