Afterward, Turpin picked up a spectacular third-round KO victory, dropping Hintz. In the post-fight interview, he announced, “That was my version of Three Little Pigs, you know. That was me teaching him how to count sheep. That’s all it was.”

- “Turpin my favorite by far, bro is a beast”
- “Props to the blueberry slapper!!”
- “Hell of an athlete”
