Chalk and Cheese – WATCH Niall Kennedy and Alen Babic discuss their fight face to face
‘I’m not one for trash talk’ … ‘I have to thank you’… ‘He’s done fantastic, four wins, four destructive performances’, Niall Kennedy certainly wasn’t fueling ‘The Savage’ come press conference time today.
Sharing the same physical space as Alen Babic whose alter ego ‘The Savage’ has been promising to do all sorts damage to him come Saturday night, Kennedy kept it calm and collected.
As ever the Wexford Gardia was the personification of genuine gent and not because he feared upsetting the big punching Croatian heavyweight.
