A couple of years ago I had high hopes for Dmitry. Monster puncher... but unfortunately lacking in the chin department!
Indeed it was!
"The lost art of [INSERT RUDIMENTARY FIGHTING TACTIC]" Lol... yeah, that's a good one!
I know, some will argue that Leon was one of the weakest HW champions, and he certainly had one of shortest "primes"... but I will stick my neck...
Strong trio... plus a big man who COULD (though it's too early to say) turn out to be really good. Or he may be eliminated as a serious contender...
