Nickname: My coach came up with the name (The Hammer) after the TKO,
One of my good friends from work months before the fight while we were standing morning mainline,he knew I had heavy hands, so he was trying to think of a nickname with a train, and about 5 names later he came up with (Train Wreck), and he started saying my name out loud like Micheal Buffer does!
