Great Fight. This was the best PBC card to date.
This card was a knockdown festival. I think the stoppage was maybe a little premature because Savigne was still swinging. They would not survive long against the top of the division though. Furious and brutal fight :D
Muy buen combate lleno de emociones y falto de boxeo.
El bajo nivel de Savigne me sorprendio.Pero ese no era problema de Whilliams,que izo y muy bien su trabajo.Uno sube en su nivel.y el otro,espero que ya sea su retiro,a sus 36 años,no le queda nada que buscar.Saludos.
Nice fight with 3 good knock downs until the match was stopped.may be too premature.
Both guys were very vulnerable showing that they need to improve their boxing techniques in order to avoid future embarrassment. Anyhow, for Savigne is probably too late because his age.
