Wolverine KO’s Darius the Destroyer in Power Slap finale
An interesting aspect of the event was the already existing rivalry between the two. The duo had previously met in 2021 in what many dubbed a historical match-up in the history of the sport.
In an unthinkable scenario, the contest between the two went for a total of 27 rounds. And considering that people usually barely survive for a couple of rounds, it is fair to say that these two had one of the greatest ever slap fighting contests.
Heading into the event, Destroyer was the clear favorite. And looking at his record of 17 wins and no losses, one can’t deny why he’s considered a god among mortals in the sport. Apart from being known for his powerful slaps, it’s his ability to absorb slaps that made him a popular figure in the world of slap fighting.
