    Reminds me of a guy who fought in some tough man contests here back in the 80's, he couldn't box a lick either

    He looks better than the Homeboy Alonso Cisneros.

    Seeing a short HW is rare and inspiring

    I’ll be following him

    I love Avtandil Khurtsidze, he’s 5’4 and just came back from his prison time and he’s 45

    Could have been Mikey Garcia. He looked to be around 180 when he fought Spence.

    This is such a hilarious comment :lol:

    A HW that's 2 inches shorter than me and 50lbs heavier, I can't imagine being anything other than cannon fodder for anyone in the top 200. This is not the 2nd coming of David Tua lol

    From that short video, I'd tell a guy fighting Garcia to throw a right hand whenever Garcia throws a left hook. Garcia threw the hook from too far away and missed badly a few times leaving the left side of his chin/jaw unprotected. Garcia needs to get closer before throwing the hook. If he doesn't somebody will take advantage of him missing the hook from outside.

    Bro at his size he should be a 154 pounder. It’s not like his frame is massive. He has a gut and doesn’t like to cut probably.

    Anyone under 6ft at HW is fat and/or a roid experiment like Tyson and all MW's who ended up there (Byrd, Jones etc.).
    Plenty are fat even over 6ft.
    But it's still interesting to see what fat MWs can do to HWs.

    Being that short might have some advantages at HW. He barely has to move his head to get underneath punches.
