“Gonna be a 🔥 matchup, someone is definitely getting put to sleep”

“Iron giant has a good clean slap while Dorian does step sometimes but have a more powerful slap so Dorian is probably winning this one if he don’t get many fouls”

“I’m sending his ass to sleep and making sure he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed 🤣💤💤💤”

“You’re an absolute Monster man, i’m happy to have seen you grow from the start. Take care brother”

“Top”

“Ouch.. lol”

“Try more next time”

While the event is still a week away, Crespo is already feeling the heat ahead of his title contender’s match against Perez. After dropping the fight against Dibbell, he believes the opportunities are hard to come by and this might be his last shot at the title.

The fighter told Slap News, “You don’t get many chances. I’m pretty sure if I don’t win this Contender fight, I don’t get another one for a long time. So it’s definitely like put up or shut up time, you know.”

Further, he admitted feeling pressure as he stated, “I don’t want to be known as the second best. I definitely don’t want to be known as the guy who almost gets title shots, beats everybody but loses to the one and two. God, I don’t like that. So this is of low pressure for me. Just to prove that I am the best in the sport.”
