FS1 Monday Night Fight: Michael Perez vs. Miguel Zuniga & Sadam Ali vs. Jay Krupp RBR

He obviously has no intention of becoming a statistic. He doesn't like the ring of "Number Seven". (didn't anybody ever tell him it was lucky? )

Game opponent for sure, they're not mollycoddling this Olympian...

"You are winning every round. We almost home. Their defense is getting desperate. Your defense must stay good, low with the Foreman dodge. Wrap him up, up top, so you don't get hit with nothing..."

Otis Griffin, former light heavyweight contender and trainer of Williams. He seemingly thinks his man is well ahead. :blood


Browne is trained by veteran coach Gary Stark, who is asking for Browne to not take any more steps back. He is asking for 3's after the 1-2s and to wake up and get rid of this guy.
