[yt]LSd0G1DDO9s[/yt] Julius Long vs. Jason Williams - Long, who stands at a massive 2.16 metres and is also David Tua's sparring partner, was towering over his much shorter opponent at the face off. Though nothing was said, Long lashed out at Williams with a strong push which caught him off guard. The two had to be restrained by the promotional team on stage.
Long has been knocked out many times. He is tall, proves that the Klitschkos are not beating everyone just because of their height. Klitschkos always stay in shape, plus their skills are far superior to Longs. Just being tall does not make you a champion, same goes for Wilder..........although I suspect he will be handed the WBC title without fighting at all, or by fighting someone who is totally unranked.
Ustinov knocked Long out in 1 rd lol... kind of weird that Tua is using one of the worst tall Journeyman as a sparring partner to prepare for Ustinov.. He could at least spar with someone like Tye Fields.
I remember Harrison fighting Long in one of his early fights, at the press con Audley was trying to sell the fight by saying Long's like a 7ft Lennox only with a better KO ratio. :rofl
Long actually won this was his first win in over 6 years. I bet Wilder and his management are looking at Long as a potential opponent for after Firtha. Wilder will extend his knock out streak to 31, and his streak of worthwhile fights will be at 0 as it always has been.
