Teremoana had a possibility to assist promote Wednesday’s principal occasion after Tuesday’s faceoff and wasn’t precisely overflowing with promotional materials.
“Oh, I simply seen one other opponent standing in entrance of me,” Teremoana mentioned. “We prepare 6 days per week, twice a day to arrange for this, and I’m nearly to place all of the coaching to work come tomorrow evening.”
When Ben Damon requested what viewers would see, Teremoana initially replied, “We’re going to see two heavyweights combating one another for the primary occasion,” earlier than lastly providing, “somebody’s going to get put down.”
That reserved persona wouldn’t be a problem if the matchmaking had been creating the intrigue for him. In opposition to Savage, Teremoana is once more being positioned in a bout designed largely to focus on his energy.
One other fast knockout will preserve his excellent stoppage run. What Teremoana wants quickly is an opponent able to making folks surprise if that run will proceed.
