Everything was great until i saw his record, 16 loss 😂😂 his losses are more than JJ an JP fights together

Meanwhile, some tried making sense of the 29-year-old’s startling move.
A lot of people complaining about the opponent and it is a given for JJ to win but boxing fans will know, it's a journeyman pro.
I get why some won't like it but it's an ideal scenario for someone desperately needing experience and to get rid of ring rust. Smart imo

To sum up, this unthinkable move from KSI undoubtedly left fans stunned.
