Eric “Butterbean“ Esch – The Legendary Knockout Machine



In the spring of 1997, a man who was considered unorthodox because his physique did not fit the mold of a professional boxer, entered the ring for a title fight. He won that fight by knockout and became the IBA Heavyweight Champion. He went on to have a professional record of 77 wins, with 57knockouts and only 10 losses. He was known as a man with a big heart and incredible tenacity, the king of 4-round fights. His name is Eric Esch, commonly known as Butterbean.

  1. When Butterbean starts swinging, gtfo. Most people underestimated him by thinking he's fat and slow, but then they take a hit from this beast and immediately reconsider their life decisions lol.

  2. I just wish that one time we could have seen him jump victoriously up to the top of the UFC cage. And sit there. And gloat. He really was amazing.

  3. It was one thing to step into the ring with Tyson and think you had a "chance", but most of these guys "knew" they had a chance against Eric. LOL!!!

  4. Obese people are very strong from carrying all their weight around most of their lives. Butterbean was tough to hurt being so big and thick. Most of the people he fought were worn out, burnt out, nobodies and after they got tired of trying to KO Butterbean, and if they hadn't been knocked out, they would just fall down and give in.

  5. His arms are just these 2 massive fucking pistons like in a car. Left, right, left right, left right, until they’re asleep. This shit is art.

  6. I was homeless in the eighties and I came across Mr Ash was enormous Butterbean in Sacramento I walked up to him and I told him I haven't tasted food and days and he said to me don't worry about it it still taste the same

  7. Butterbean was a brawler that went as far as he could go on raw talent. God Bless America!

  8. The most amazing thing is his cardio/boxing. He actually had very solid accuracy, quick hands for the shovels they were, and just kept walking you down.

  9. You know oddly butterbean ain't exactly fat I mean he don't jiggle everywhere.I bet if he ever cut up he would be a huge ball of muscle.

  10. These fights look fixed these guys are barely getting clipped all taking a fall
