Michael “Venom” Page responded to the critics calling him a can crusher following his second-round KO win over Shinsho Anzai at Bellator Japan.

Unfortunately, this win doesn’t seem to have impressed many fans. While Page is clearly incredibly talented, his naysayers have long argued that his record has been fluffed up by wins over less-than-stellar competition. In the eyes of many doubters, Melillo — a short-notice replacement opponent making his promotional debut — looked like the latest example of this pattern.
