I fueled de Ridder with rocket fuel. He will keep pushing until the end. He showed a great fight. It’s no surprise that this guy has 20 wins with 18 of them coming early. This man has held two belts in one of the best leagues in the world. What does Bo Nickal mean to him? Who is he? De Ridder demonstrated that Nickal is not on his level. Reinier can compete with anyone. He is making progress now and highly motivated.
For context, Reinier de Ridder won against Bo Nickal by technical knockout in the second round. His record now stands at 20 wins and 2 losses, while Nickal has 7 wins and 1 loss.
