Actually, I think the record was back on 9 March 2007 in a bout between Eric "Butterbean" Esch (417 1/2 lbs.) vs. Joe Siciliano (313 1/2 lbs) in which the Bean won by TKO in round 2.
I fail to see the significance of listing the weights of these guys including the extra 1/2 lb. for each. I doubt that anyone in attendance really noticed.
