    so it was Fat Dave's team that turned down a Buff Guy Artir fight in *2020



    SmashBigBobArum Spray_resistant El Escorpion Songbird

    already at 200 pounds won't be adding much muscle if any so no weight cut for cruiser

    will depend on his hand speed and footwork for this fight thinks he's the smaller man

    Doesn't address it when the interviewer brings up people been talking about Parker's Cousin Buff Guy Jai v Fat Dave

    will go back down to 175 immediately after Fat Gilbert

      But fat Gilbert sucks overall, he is big and good a blocking punches with his face, not bad at walking forward.

        Fat Gilbert problem is he so damn slow

        slow feet even when back foot boxing

        if he had even average speed like Artur, I’d favor him against Fat Dave who is a notorious cross stepper and follows directly in straight lines rather than lateral steps to cut the ring off
