It has been believed since ancient times that a professional athlete should have Apollo’s body, Hercules strength, and Aries fighting skills.

But our hero has collected all these stereotypes and spit on these. Eric Esch, better known as Butterbean, was an elite heavyweight who ate his opponents as if they were hot dogs.

Many people even thought this chubby guy would defeat Mike Tyson.

And in this video, we’ll show you what he was capable of. This is boxing game. Here we go.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

 

In 1995, Esch was on a streak of nine wins in a row and easily took out every opponent.

However, a fighter of incredible athleticism, Doug Norris, appeared on the horizon.

The traces of doping was not detected in Butterbean’s blood the day before the fight, but traces of spicy chicken and soda were found. Apparently, it was the secret weapon of the puffy fighter.

On the fight day, Butterbean knew that it would not be easy for him because Norris’s nickname, “Dangerous”, spoke for itself.

Butterbean looked like a ferocious boar, while Doug looked like a boar hunter. And the hunt started. He won several regional tournaments.

Norris immediately wanted to cook a huge Humpty Dumpty into an omelette, but couldn’t break through Esch’s cholesterol armor.

Next, Butterbean recalled that it was almost dinner time and decided to make American duck out of Doug. And for dessert, Eric served up an incredible knockout, turning the dangerous Norris into harmless Norris.
Every Butterbean fight was breathtaking and unbelievable.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

 

But the truly interesting incident occurred in a fight against Pat Jackson in 1995.

In the fight, Jackson looked very fierce and with his powerful punches, he almost made holes in the walking beer keg. He was literally burning off a layer of fat in Asch’s body with his frenzy pressure.

Then Eric’s cornerman stimulated his beastly appetite by smearing mayonnaise on his face during a break. And then the puffy guy was ready for a meal and got down to business.

With his punches, he began to feed Pat like a pet. Butterbean was unstoppable. He got into such a rage that even the referee was in trouble. Seeing such a brutal knockout. Pat was frightened and voluntarily refused to continue the fight.

With the double victory, Butterbean went to celebrate with a double portion of chicken wings.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

 

However, one cocky showboater dared to bully and provoke the giant. But what eventually happened to him, you will find out at the end of the video.

In 1997, Butterbean faced his main rival in his career, Billy Eaton. By that time, Eric had already become world famous for his crushing knockouts. So, Eaton decided to raise his popularity and make a name for himself by destroying our hero.

The whole fight Billy like a puppet from Saw movie gave Butterbean a real nightmare.

Asch barely managed to survive that fight with a draw. A majority draw.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

 

And a year later, the fierce rivals got a rematch. Eaton wanted Butterbean’s head at last, but the fight began. And Esch, recalling the previous fight, unleashed all his rage on his opponent.

But it wasn’t enough to avenge the first fight. Butterbean seasoned his cold dish of revenge with a pinch of showboating and completely crushed his opponent.

At the last moment, however, Eric Esch faced his truly greatest enemy: stamina.
Billy quickly began to take advantage of this and make a chop out of this huge piece of meat.

We don’t know if Butterbean was having a harder time from the lack of air or Eaton’s punches.

But one thing was clear. Billy was one step away from fulfilling his dream.

But Eric had other plans and apparently was hungry and just knocked his opponent out cold.

And so Billy Eaton was eaten.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

 

In 1996, the 170 kilo dumpling faced another athlete in the ring, Jonathan Whitfield, nicknamed the bull.

At their staredown, Whitfield wanted to intimidate our hero with his physical superiority. However, Butterbean is only afraid of an empty refrigerator and a treadmill.

The bell rang and the Chubby’s meal began . . . .

Butterbean took on the role of matador and began to tame the aggressive Buffalo.

Butterbean once again proved that muscles in boxing do not matter.

.     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

 

And so we come to the long awaited fight in 1999 Eric Esch faced Jackie Byrd.

Byrd had an advantage in height and reach and thought he could easily run over the humble puffy.

From the beginning Byrd went forward easily hitting projectiles on the huge target point out they’re using. The showboater sensed an advantage and started mocking the fat man.

Butterbean tried to snap back but Byrd imagined himself a goose and dodged all the punches. At some point showboater already believed in his victory in advance and began to dance.

But Eric was determined to stop the disco. First, he ate all punches like spicy wings. And then with an accurate right, he sent Byrd to the ropes like barbecued meat.

Butterbean practiced this move before, as he often takes beer from the top shelf. Butterbean punished the cocky showboater, making him much humbler.
Butterbean is a true boxing legend. In this video, you have seen his best knockouts.

Iron Mike was truly lucky not to meet this omnivorous monster in the ring. I wonder what the big man would be capable of if he weighed 50 lbs less.
