Savage, savage fight….one of the toughest brawls of the year.
Relentless battle between two warriors. The power punching difference was quite evident however, Salido, technically, was a bit better
Salido is NEVER in a bad fight but he’s not getting younger :/
Well I am sad for Salido, but I think the rating should be Salido.. How about pitting him against Lomachenko again? Kellerman’s interview totally suck*d as evreything this guy did.
Did I hear the worthy Roman wants to be on HBO by a*shole Kellerman? Yep HBO HBO HBO HBO.
good fight !
btw what is that Kellerman dude doing there?
I mean that dude definitely sucks and even a good 10 year old knows more about boxing than that fanboy
