Mike 'The Tank' Schutte

Box/Rec has Mike incorrectly listed at 6' 5" in height..........

Mike Schutte stood at 6' 0", and had a reach of 71".

He was a thick barrel-chested guy, with a heavy torso. Typical brawler/puncher.

But, for a thick-heavy guy, he had surprisingly fast-hands, and was quick.
