Sam Gradwell, gives his thoughts on Ben Carter’s promo video
“Ben Carter, is this supposed to be exciting? Buzzing around like a bloody Catherine Wheel, now as much as I like spelling naughty words with a sparkler, I’m not here to be a pretty bonfire treat. I will admit he did push our cruiserweight champion to the limit in his debut match but we’ll see how exciting the lad his when this thunderstorm sends him packing back to Jersey. BEN CARTER IS A YOGHURT”
