Two legends. One stage. And a fight that lived up to the hype.
At Power Slap 18, reigning light heavyweight champion Wolverine went the distance with “Crazy Hawaiian”, delivering one of the most anticipated matchups in recent memory.
And after it was all said and done, Wolverine had nothing but respect for his opponent.
Wolverine vs Crazy Hawaiian: A True Legends Battle
Coming into the fight, the biggest question was simple:
Could Crazy Hawaiian’s chin hold up?
The answer?
Absolutely.
“He’s still got that hell of a chin that he had before.”
For Wolverine, this wasn’t just another title defense — it was a long-awaited matchup between two of the sport’s most recognizable names.
“It was a fun matchup that I never thought would happen.”
The Beard Factor: Why Finding the Target Was Tough
One of the more interesting challenges in the fight came from an unexpected factor — Crazy Hawaiian’s beard.
Wolverine admitted it made things more difficult than usual.
“It made it difficult… I can see why people talk about the beard.”
While he doesn’t believe it offers protection, it can obscure the target:
“It hides the chin… I don’t think it protects you.”
With help from his corner, Wolverine adjusted as the fight went on.
“I started feeling for it and making better shots towards the end.”
Adjustments Mid-Fight Made the Difference
After a tricky start, Wolverine began to find his rhythm — especially in the later rounds.
The ability to adapt mid-fight showed the experience of a seasoned champion.
And even as the exchanges got intense, Wolverine never lost composure.
No Disrespect: Giving Credit to Crazy Hawaiian
Despite moments where it looked like Crazy Hawaiian was struggling to respond, Wolverine refused to diminish his opponent’s effort.
“I’m never gonna put him down like that.”
Instead, he acknowledged the unpredictability and toughness Hawaiian brought into the match.
“I loved every second of that matchup.”
A Fight That Still Brings Joy
Even after a long and decorated career, Wolverine made it clear that fights like this still excite him.
“It depends on the match… this one made it fun.”
For him, it’s not just business — it’s about competition and respect.
“It’s like a friend versus a friend… it’s a challenge.”
High Praise for Logan Greenhalgh
Looking ahead, Wolverine turned his attention to rising contender Logan Greenhalgh — and didn’t hold back.
“He is by far the next light heavyweight champion.”
That’s a massive statement from the current champ, signaling a potential changing of the guard in the division.
A Champion Who Knows the Future
Wolverine even hinted that his time at the top may not last forever — and he’s okay with that.
“At some point I plan on just being a spectator.”
It’s rare to see that level of perspective from a champion — but it speaks to his legacy and confidence in the sport’s future.
Respect, Legacy, and What Comes Next
With:
-
A war against Crazy Hawaiian
-
Continued dominance at light heavyweight
-
And recognition of the next generation
Wolverine continues to solidify his legacy as one of Power Slap’s all-time greats.
But as he looks ahead…
The question becomes:
How much longer does the champ stay on top — before the next era begins?
