  • Kiko strikes again! If you are not a really good fighter and in really good form, that man will beat you! Good for you Kiko!

  • With just 8 knockouts. The Thrill was doomed before the first bell had even rung unfortunately

  • As God as my witness, I would never let my fighter in with Kiko. The guy is an animal who refuses to let Father Time do his job… What a fighter!

  • Katie Taylor is one of my favorite fighters today, man or woman. Another dominating performance here. She deserves her own headline. Just a magnificent fighter and human being. She’s a gifted fighter. She also clearly deserves to be at the top of the P4P ranking.

  • Man, Kiko keeps upsetting these upcoming prospects and just won’t go away:-) and good on him for that. The Spaniard is a bad man

  • now, lets face it..despite all the warning of breast cancer through impact trauma in the chest are female combat in other words still satisfys a challange and need..bring back the fabulous Mullah…
