BKFC 56: Perry vs Alvarez: What has been said?
“I’m going to smash your face because I’ve been practicing boxing all this time now,” Perry said Perry during the BKFC 56 pre-fight press conference.
“I’m the best bare-knuckle boxer on the planet, period. I don’t care what anybody else has to say about it. The proof is in the pudding. I’m going to play a little game with you. We’re going to see how many times you can get up from the floor when I knock your ass down.”
“I have more knockouts than this man has fights,” Alvarez said.
“I have more title rounds and more wins over more world champions than he’s ever fought. I’m more conditioned, I’m more violent; the only thing this man has on me is he’s slightly taller, he’s slower, and he has better hair than I do. And that’s it.”
