It takes a lot more than just size & strength to have a successful boxing career. I wish him well though. In about 18 month's it will be much easier to tell if he is championship material.

[BatemanPatrickl]

Agree 110%. He had his first fight tonight.

He would make so much money if he was good

boxing needs a new name and something different

[Kermit]

He was created by the Chinese in a petri dish. Yoa Ming was designed in a similar fashion.

It would be pretty interesting him to see fighting the Klitscho brothers.

How did the fight go?

[eidolon]

He throws a heavy jab.
Everything else wasn't that good; couldn't really land any hooks or uppercuts.

But he could just stick that jab and beat most Heavyweights.
Thought his reach would be a little more than 84" for a 7ft guy. Some 6ft guys have 80" reach.

He should watch have George Foreman fought and duplicate the heavy jab with 1-2 shot that Foreman would always do (jab, straight right, almost at the same time)

That is one big dong.

Solid analysis. He has one punch, the jab. Slow as penetrate too. Boxers like Tyson, Lewis and even Holyfield in their primes would knock this guy out in 30 seconds. He is more of a novelty.

Thought he was interesting because of his size and you don't see too many Chinese boxers. Looks like they lined a cream puff up for him. Boxing 101.

Dong will get knockout

That's above the expected wingspan for his height. Would be a score of 1.0 (mean) if he were 7"0.

On a related note....I've often encountered awe and amazement at the sheer size of my own "Taishan Dong"!!

[Ron_Paul_2012]

He looked pretty good for his first fight. Can't wait to see how he looks in 18 months.

Exactly. Jesus Christ, some of these people. Guy just has his first fight, a four-rounder; "prime Tyson would wreck this guy". Aaron Pico vs Jose Aldo 2015.

Taishan is Tarzan in English btw

Bump this thread when he gets knocked out by a decent fighter.

Could you have missed the point more? Couldn't have imagined suck a dumb reply.

You're the boxing expert.

[Mikail]

Easy win over that punching bag. Let's see him against some real opponents. His power is undeniable though. Knocking the guy over with his jabs.
