    The guy is ridiculously short for the HW division and would be so even 100 years ago, let alone current era of giants. Interesting, but at 5'8" and 235 lbs he looks much, much fitter than Andy Ruiz ever did. Or even Chris Arreola. He doesn't look fat. It looks like he has quick hands and decent power. I'm not sure he would ever be able to reach even fringe contender level, but it will be interesting to follow his road. 5'8" heavyweight are very, very rare species

    What happened to Gurgen Hovhannisyan on that card?

    I saw Danier Pero won his fight fairly easily on the same event.

    "He doesn't look fat."

    Definitely don't see too many sub 6'0 heavyweights. Last truly successful one I can think of was 5'9 James Toney.

    He's what I think the average ESB poster is like. Short, thick and quick.
