If @ParamPam1990 is correct, 146 kilograms would put the 6-foot-5 heavyweight Hardy at a shade under 322 pounds. The 6-foot-1 Papin, who’s billed as a cruiserweight, is listed at around 200 pounds.
Hardy posted the following to his Instagram account after the vicious knockout:
The former Pro Bowler, who played for the Panthers from 2010 to 2014, entered the bout with a professional boxing record of 3-0.
