    These guys actually look a bit like athletes compared to the last set of heavies. Both are still quite flabby, however

    Yeah, the undefeated Cuban definitely could stand to lose 30-40lbs but he's no more portly than a lot of his countrymen that have been successful.

    Booker, btw, is the same guy that fought James Toney in 2004 (and took a fourteen year layoff before returning and serving as fodder to current HW contenders)

    Yeah I was just checking out his record. That's wild, but since he "came back" in 2018 he's fought a who's who in the HW division.

    Lost to all the name opponents he fought.... unless you count the 2021 draw against a washed up, ancient Ray Austin! :lol:

    19-19. Very competitive so far.

    Santana throwing more and pressing in with more spring in his legs - but counters landing sharply from the fleeter-handed Booker.

    Oh man - you should rewind at some point and behold the absolute human specimens that are Michael Jones, Kenas Jenkins, Dillon Pumphrey, and Demetrius Shaw... (four men combining for 3/4 of a ton)

    Alright, now Booker needs a KO ...and doesn't look to have a second wind in him. Doing all he can just to parry and grab.

    39-37 Santana
