    The guy weighed in at 550 lbs in his pro debut - that is exactly 100 lbs more than legendary Dustin Nichols' highest weight ever registered in his pro fights and 85 lbs more than the previous weight world record which has belonged to Frank Finnegan (465 lbs).

    Here is photo of 18-years-old Wade - https://www.google.com/search?q=Wad...sKHdCIAp4Q_AUoAXoECAwQAw#imgrc=2Dz0qGH2LL9g3M:

    Bruins lost his pro debut to 47-years-old fomer super wlterweight Alfredo Cervantes (1-4-1, 0 KOs) by UD (40-36 on all cards)

    Can't believe this guy went under the radar for so long! What's the bomb squad been doing?! Get him on the crane and send him over to Al Haymon's office! Deontay's gonna offer him a opportunity of a lifetime. Lol

    Bet he doesn't have the speed and slickness of Dustin Nichols. Dustin Nichols used to weigh himself on scales that only went up to 450lbs so as not to intimidate his opponents too much. You can be sure DN weighed more than that fairly often.

    Andy Ruiz went on a Snicker binge after viewing this thread. That man is as huge as a sky scraper & he's as tall as he's wide.

    Is he only 18????? If he starts training with big Andy there's a real shot Bruins might join the 1Ton club. We need to add more mass to the baby phat

    Apparently they fought to raise money for Cervantes' wife who has/had an illness. They are also good friends and Bruins said he didn't want to hurt Cervantes in this fight. His ambition is to eventually fight Anthony Joshua. Joshua could have brought him in as a sparring partner but he didn't get the call.
