What a load of rubbish. Farkas is absolutely hopeless and has not learned a thing with all of his fights. Spong is less than adequate.
Spong is a joke fighting a 7-35 guy. Just goes to show how little confidence he has in himself. Spong is considered one of the best kickboxers in the world. The gulf in talent between a decent boxer and a top kickboxer is massive, in a boxing match. If Spong does step up, he will lose badly.
Dude, wtf! It’s his FIRST pro fight as a boxer. FIRST! What, you expect him to fight someone in the top 10? Give him a break. This was an explosive K.O. Great debut by Spong.
He’s a pro kickboxer, one of the best in the world. He’s not just stepping into combat sports. He’s nearly 30 years old.
I expect him to fight somebody with a winning record. He’s amassed over 80 bouts in kickboxing. He’s not a beginner — he’s massively accomplished. He obviously carries a big punch as well. But they set up a tomato can for him to trounce, which isn’t the kind of thing I find impressive.
Calm down it’s his 1st fight back, and boxing debut Wtf did you expect? Expectations from non fighters behind a screen..
