Great showmanship Josh. You showed class and respect for Bryce by not giving him any extra pounding or hammer fists . He was totally out and in need of medical attention and your choice of not ending his career made me a huge fan of yours.

[@MrDaigoRiki]

His power and his personality are incredible

[@OffSuboxonePainFree]

The punch that emmet hit him with is literally the only punch you have to watch for. Its all emmet has. Dips the head way low and left - over hand right. He spams it all day. Emmet should be easy to beat if you are on the level.

[@lewisneilson8221]

His left hook is crazy too. Look at the Ricardo Lamas KO

[@OffSuboxonePainFree]

@lewisneilson8221 everyone should have a good left hook tho. I get that Alex P has the best ever but if you are crisp, your left hook is good. Emmet just not very good imo. Easy work for the top of the good chain. I had kattar on my scorecard when they fought. If I was right, then Emmet should have never came up to the tippy top. This all speaks more to Bryce Mitchell . That's 2 times in row that he was completely embarrassed. If Bryce can make 135, he should do that. He looks like an average Joe in the ring with that no weight lifting body
