Those are great numbers consindering he is only 15!

Why did Big D go into the 220’s though if he was 198.6? Or did he miss weight and just decide to rehydrate instead of trying to lose the last pound?

He’s always competed in the 198’s and wanted to move up to the 220’s just for something different. He also wants to comepte in the 181’s eventually. I just don’t think he’s ready to diet down that much. He has the RAW United Nationals coming up in Dec. and I think he wants to compete in the 198’s again.

He wanted to compete in the 220’s for something different. He’s always competed in the 198’s and has set many records. He wanted to set records in the 220’s and eventually he wants to compete in 181’s and set records there as well.
