Wow!
This wasn’t the JRock who tossed Hurd…
impressive fight. even. banana man ended the proceedings with huge power abruptly. Williams defense not as tight today as was in his last fight ..tried too hard to gain power respect instead of putting water on banana man fire. happy for Rosario. changed his life and beautiful vibes .. Williams will be back boxing smart as usual.. in life one must know when to push or pull and when to give and take
That uppercut, at the end, right before the ref stepped in, was a serious punch. I enjoyed that one, although I thought Williams would have a better showing. It wasn’t a terrible display by him by any means, Rosario just turned it on and it was over before Williams knew what happened.If not for the slip he was done for at that moment. All the slip did was prologue the finish.
