Congratulations to Tony for actually winning a fight. You know, even though it was against some influencer that has no combat sports experience, a win’s a win. My advice to Tony is, quit while you’re ahead and ride off into the sunset. Go enjoy time with your family, brother. If you get back in there again, you’re going to get hurt and no one wants to see you get hurt Tony, coz we like you.
