Probably if he had tried to slim down he would have lost something in the strength department.
But on the other end of the spectrum,if the fight went to the fourth,he was weezing like a bellows.
Im not calling him a slob,but it would have been interesting to see him in legitimate good shape
I dont say it would have worked,but it would have been interesting to have seen what he could have done. Suprisingly I'll say this,that guy could really time a shot, so what makes it interesting is,what if he could have thrown more of them
Point taken. Last I saw of him, a few months ago, he was in a K1 tournament. Again, while he was no superstar, he performed surprisingly well based solely on his physical appearance.
