I’m glad Serra Handled Trigg so well. Trigg did alot of talking and I watched Serra’s video blog following him around as he trained for the fight and he seemed like a real cool guy, helping out kids in the Gym , a good family guy and was pretty funny too. Good pay day as well , that was a huge win bonus.

What could have been his last fight. He could have just maned up, took the loss and ended his career like a man not a douche bag.
