keosbay stnicholas no they just need to create a 165 division, change 170 to 175 and make a 195 division as well.

My tip for the outcome of Alex’s fight with Max is every pub around Wollongong will be packed..👍🍺🍺😳😂😀. (Warrila, a superb of Wollongong is where Alex is from) Fun fact is he played in the front row (front rowers are the big tough guys) in rugby league for a team called the Warrila Gorilla’s When he played league he wasn’t mad he was MADDDDDD,DDDD, he hit in the tackles hard and didn’t flinch when he was hit hard.. He played league at anywhere from 210lb - 218 lb,, very stcckky build
