Santillion, who is managed by split team management, landed power punches from the outset and was on top of reza from the beginning.
Santillion started beating up and breaking down bereza until the bet was stopped at 33 seconds of round seven um, but he wanted us to know that and have advised us and i’m happy to report that centillion now is 29 and 0.
