    Last night I was watching some Aaron Pryor Jr. fights and his bout against Oosthuizen was one of them. Decent fight, two of the biggest SMW I've ever seen for sure. While I was watching though it struck me that this Oosthuizen kid had some seemingly VERY short arms especially for a fighter measuring in at 6'4. He almost looked like a T-Rex out there. Anyways, I wanted to verify but I can't find his listed reach anywhere, does anyone know it off the top of their head or know any website that might have it?

    Kid seems a decent prospect, I don't think he will ever be a champion or anything but I think at his peak he could give some very good fighters a run for their money. I was somewhat surprised also by his speed, obviously it isn't Gary Russell Jr. type speed but he seemed to have some speed in his hands.

    I noticed that myself especially when he throws a right he really has to step in

    :lol: I was just intrigued a little because I was a big fan of his father growing up and his size...... Guess I just wanted to see what went wrong from one generation to the next while also having a better natural tool set. TBF, he isn't that bad but certainly not his old man.
