A good candidate for fight of the year as well as k.o. of the year
I totally agree! What a fight!…
Non-stop action, rough exchanges, dirty shots, palpable animosity between the two fighters, very good display of skills on both sides, two different styles, a huge dramatic ending… what more can you ask for?… Come on ATBF! That’s a 4 stars. ;)
how to lose a fight!
arrogance and stupidity….
