Link and Pitts's match had ended.
The Miami Herald described the match as 'brutal' and 'shocking,' nobody expected Link to shatter the 'Rock' Pitts's jaw, ending the match by forcing the opponent to surrender.
The outcome was shocking.
However, Link also faced some criticism afterward, claiming his method of competing was somewhat bloody. In amateur matches, even with protective gear, he could still shatter an opponent's jaw with his fist, which was simply too brutal.
He thereby earned another nickname—'Destroyer,' it was said his heavy punch could destroy any opponent, no matter how robust their body was, they would be destroyed under his attack.
