[@piwo647]

Thats a lesson for BSD, he exposed himself too much against a boxing specialist such as Dustin it’s crazy. . But at least he gave us a an interesting and intense fight. The highlight of the night for me. And for those who don’t speak French let me point out that his coach told him at the end of round to stop looking for a brawl and to keep his distance. I don’t recall his exact words but in French it was something like “arrête la bagarre, garde tes distances” Which is something his coach mentioned a few times in interviews that BSD had a tendency to be reckless.

[@gregoryreid1893]

I really like BSD but I like DP even more. BSD is 28 so hopefully he tightens up. He was ranked 12 against a no. 3 ranked vet, it was always going to need more experience to beat someone like Dustin.

[@RockyTerrintino]

I agree, watching his previous fights I noticed he goes in reckless and knew Dustin was going to catch him because his boxing is too crisp. Not going to lie, the fight had me nervous because Dustin kinda looked gas and he has amazing cardio.

[@Oklm23]

I would love to see BSD train in the US before his next fight and learn some proper technique/defense skills. He literally did not even try to block any of the shots that DP sent at him and he was too reckless imo. He is young and has the power, so I think he can come back stronger if he works on improving his skills.
