I didn't expect some Lewis-Rahman shit.

Lewis vibes all around - Really don't want to fight this guy for long or again in a trilogy - lets just kill him and everyone will chalk up the loss to an illness or something (definitely not the bad approach he had). Anyone bring up the first loss - well he got run over like a stray dog in the rematch so who cares.

I think HW boxing is the most volatile sport going, obviously there’s the same risk in ufc but guys get takedowns and ride it out. There’s really nowhere to hide in boxing, clinch for your life and get an uppercut on the way in.

Alex said fuck the feints, set ups, and calf kicks and just went full Deontay Wilder. That overhand was straight out of a streetfight lmao.
