Tim Tszyu vs Brian Mendoza full fight card, results, Julius Long, who is he?, shoes\u060c<\/p>\n
Measuring 216 centimeters, Julius Long is the tallest heavyweight boxer in the world.<\/p>\n
But in the ring on Sunday, even the American’s significant height advantage was no match for Toese Vousiutu’s sheer power, suffering a fourth-round TKO defeat.<\/p>\n
Things took a bizarre turn early in the fight when Long entered the ring in sneakers, attracting the attention of American boxing great Shawn Porter on commentary. <\/p>\n
\u201cSome things are just unacceptable,\u201d Porter said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese shoes are unacceptable. No matter how big his feet were, he could have found something.<\/p>\n
