That was soon, but I don't object. The fact that he gave him a run for his money, in a sport he never did professionally. Pretty good!

Remember the post I did why you have to open your hips when you kick? Otherwise you connect with the flat part and break your shin.

Yup, that’s the only training partner I had for about 85% of my fights, animal, all street fights I saw from him were “one punch” KO’s! Leon van Dijk!
