        a half pound is nothing.

        If there was really that big of a deal he could've taken off his boxers and wouldve made weight easy

          If you look only with Keith Keizer before the second attempt, Keith was adjusting the scale a little bit. That's why it miraculously went below half a pound.

          I will look for a replay and post it here... Go to 6:40

            You're right, he did touch the scale before Danny stepped on again. The way he said "Okay 140." immediately was a red flag to me. He sounded exasperated.

              That's usually what's up. I must agree though Garcia didn't look at that great. Looked as if he sucked himself bone dry

                If danny took his shorts off and reweighed at 140, we would not be having this conversation. The idiot working the scales did it incorrectly. plus Lucas' team member was there watching.

                  You are talking about a weight change of 0.36%

                  If they are within 99.6% accuracy thats probably good enough for weighing prize fighters. If you are weighing uranium or something like that maybe you want better than 99.6% but for this, thats fine by me.

                    the person weighing the scale probably said he was over because the nose was probably above the half way mark and almost touching the metal. Usually in weigh-in the nose could be above the half way mark or even above that. As long as it doesnt touch the top then its perfectly fine and considered on weight. If u listen closely, you can hear angel say its not touching and thats why the guy reading the scale was like alright, 140 lol.
