What a shame! He neglected his wife and son to focus on training for this fight and will still get KTFO!

If he comes in great shape and his jaws fixed up I think he could make it a decent fight

He's shown time and time again he has the heart to get up from a knockdown you can't hate on that

should be a good scrap
