Look at the HBO Tale of tape for the last 3 fights. He was huge right around 152 lbs vs Judah and McCloskey, but then only 149 lbs vs LP, and then shockingly came in at 148 lbs vs Garcia even though he was looking bigger in all his training pics. Love to get a knowledgeable trainer to comment on this. Aren't fighters supposed to increase their fight night weight as they get older/progress through weight? Its like he put on all that extra muscle just to lose it pre-fight.
Remember how Tabares was saying Amir would make 140 on diet alone days before the fight without losing water weight. I don't see how he could have done that without losing muscle. He looked at least 160 in the training pics and yet he come in smaller than ever on fight night. Again its like he put on all that extra muscle just to lose it pre-fight. Ironic seeing as how Khan kept talking about moving up to WW since the Judah fight.
End of the day I have to think that he would have eaten that shot better if he had those 4 lbs of lean body mass on him. Still would have likely got dropped but would have recovered by the next round. Thoughts?
