In between rounds there’s a feeling that only the man in the arena will ever know.

Bro much respect to you and all you’ve achieved and well done on a spectacular performance but 2-5 in the last 7 doesn’t really make sense for me and also you screwed me out of a fight last time so no thanks let’s talk again after a few more wins. Always been a fan of your fights

In my opinion if you had Islam as the winner then Peter Yan was 100% robbed. So the biggest question is how do these judges score the fights
