WOw he really must drain himself!!

ya that **** gets old they need to make a rule on this cause its getting out of hand

[kiaba360]

Is this the first time he's weighed this much?

[BafanaBafana]

So the guy rehydrates to 151 (Judah) or 150 (Olosegun) and the next fight he rehydrates to 163.5? Something isn't right.

163 confirmed. No typo. Could be wearing clothes though.

A Showtime spokesman confirms that Matthysse truly was 163.5 pounds tonight. Wow. Just wow.

If Greisman says it, I'm much more inclined to believe it.

Regardless, I really don't care. I don't have a problem with any fighter so long as they actually make weight. This isn't a case where a guy failed to make his weight - If you can make the limit you can fight in the division, that's just how boxing works, and I've got no problem with anybody who makes weight.

Didn't see that in the fight but considering I've ragged on JCC jr in the past I have to man up and hold Matthysse to the same standard. He should man up and move up. But for the record since I didn't see it and Mattysse is only 5'6.5" I have a hard time believing it.

I'd like to see how much he weighs in his next fight because 163.5 is just ridiculous (25 pounds) the guy previously weighed in at 151 (Judah) and 150 (Olosegun) where did all that extra weight come from?

I personally think Showtime either made a typo or didnt know how to use a scale.

For a fighter to go up 25 pounds in 1 night, which was 18.1% of Lucas' weight is unlikely, almost impossible i would think without terrible consequences. If that is really true, i would think it was caused by "unnatural" means. I have I have never heard of a boxer gaining 25 pounds over night, especially a fighter who has never had trouble with weight, and then looking the same as always
