Fans react to Wassabi’s training video.
Fans had mixed reactions to Wasabi’s pad work video.
A fan appreciated Alex’s hard work and believes he will be a great fighter if he continues training with the current dedication.
Alex would be a great matchup for so many different guys in this crossover boxing scene. He’s not terrible but he’s also not great. But considering the amount of time he’s been training so far, he’s heading in the right direction. Technique looks a lot tighter too.
