This man amazes me more with each outing. Unreal crisp punch. I firmly believe he’s the best in his division.
wow … that was a clean punch !
Never saw something like this. First punch produced a brutal knock out after only 6 sec. Hopefully Gonya get full recovery.
Very late congrats to you on your 1000th comment, tango2042. Damn I didn’t know any of them, the gentlememan killed him!
Strap your seatbelts, you’re in for a long brawl!
