What people are saying
Fue mi pelea más difícil, definitivamente. De verdad pega fuerte. Incluso con un jab normal tiene las manos pesadas
Una cosa que me sorprendió es que no solamente lanza golpes. No está fuera de control tirando golpes a lo loco.
Hubo un par de golpes que me tomaron desprevenido
Sentí que lo estaba quebrando. Quería que trabajara de más y jugar un poco con su mente
