Good. He looked shot in the first Whyte fight, never mind the second.

Well done on a great career Sascha. His highlight reel of KOs compares well with anyone. Monster power and a warrior

Shouldn't have even been in that 2nd Whyte bout

It was sad to see him coming down to the ring like a walking zombie for the Whyte rematch. Good call to retire before he gets seriously hurt. An exciting and really good fighter. A better, stronger, harder-hitting version of Mike Tyson.

Exactly! He showed up ill to the Whyte fight just to collect his retirement check knowing he was retiring. They should have withheld his purse.
