He’s part chicken shit, part asshole, but is obviously talented, but he knows that and it’s a character flaw as his overconfidence cost him while Alexander’s desperation and hard work finally led him to victory.
– Mustafa Ali says Buddy Murphy will have to go to hell and back just to retain his title. The title means more to Ali than anything right now. It will be strength vs. speed, anger vs. heart, and the juggernaut will learn that he can’t stop the unstoppable at Survivor Series.
