Thurman rehydrated to a ripped 162 with little soft tissue

[Hype job]

He was ripped, not much muscle bulk, little fat, basically a skin and bone 162 pounder in there.

This guy is a big welterweight, and I think he struggles to make the weight, how much longer do you think he has at 147?

Not sure if Thurman stays in decent shape after fights. He only fights twice a year and since he's been making 147 I would think two years, three tops.

He's already had several fights past the 147 limit, but not in a couple years.
Past fights he's came in as low as 145.5 (Julio Diaz fight), usually he comes in at 146.

Thurman weighed in at 146 and rehydrated to 153 against Bundu.

Which means he was in tremendous shape

Guerrero got a hell of a chin that's for sure... I was surprised Thurman was a damn Middleweight in there. All that weight probably caused him to tire and clinch more in the last couple rounds.

15 pounds rehydration!

I've not seen any research in to it but putting that much weight on in 24 hrs doesn't seem like a good thing to me.

It was odd he rehydrated so high. He's definitely a welterweight though. He looked big because Guerrero is so small. There are tons of welterweights that rehydrate to 160+. 13lbs isn't much, especially to regain overnight. I've gained 7-8lbs as an amateur on same day weigh-ins. Those were 4-8 hours from fight time.

hes going to super welter sometime in the future, but thats it.

It can't be good on the body\heart to train down the weight, and then put all that weight back on within a 24-hour period.

I agree, I would like to see some research into how that behavior impacts performance both short and long-term.

ya thurman could fight at 154 no probelm and if im not mistaken already has earlier in his career. I personally want to see canelo thurman i want to see thurman maidana as well but maidana was supposed to be the fighter on the card yesterday not guerrero but said no

[Cinci Champ]

thurman also looked way bigger then guerrero that was clear as day to the eyes
