Hay-sus!!! That was a brutal fight.
What a fight!!!!!!!
Excellent, all out war. All my respects to both fighters and Mickey for his tremendous heart, impressive!
Not too one-sided for 5 stars? 4 would be ok.
A fight between two extraordinary warriors that make history. Roman, a very tough cookie and experienced boxer was totally overwhelmed by a more skilful boxer who connected excellent punch combinations and performed a master body work. Surprisingly, Roman was able to reach to the 9 rounds just because his big heart but hopefully, he isn’t physically affected by such a courage behaviour. Here we have a champion for many years to come.
