SMASH: Tryastsyn vs Dankovich PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Both (initial weighin 224.8lbs) and (initial weighin 224.8lbs), had an absolute nightware trying to make weight for this fight. Even after an additional two hours neither fighter could make the required limits, so the fight organisers had no choice but to call off the bout. Very unprofessional of both fighters. |
