I can speak for everyone’s feelings and say it’s… boring!!!
Because compared to a Mike Tyson fight, this one is a real disappointment. Want to know why I’m so sure?
Because I’m sure many of you are asking yourself, “Who the hell is Mike Perry?” (Related: Brawl breaks out at press conference for Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal fight)
A good way to introduce him is this (LOL):

There’s no way Mike Perry would get emotional and win this fight, but like I said, it’s boring!!!
