I mean its seriously sad if he doesnt come in his 240lbs.. Just a few fights ago he was 239lbs.. So he is capable of dropping the weight. I think its poor eating habits clearly. Im sure he works his ass off in the gym, but you cant come home and eat greasy ass enchiladas..
This is the biggest fight of his life, and not to be dedicated and disiplined at this point in your career is quite pathetic IMO..
But 3 weeks ago he was reportedly 259lbs... So most likely he should be under 250. If hes under 240, I give him a good shot.. He comes with relentless pressure with sharp punching when he's lighter..
He better nip it in the bud though because if not he'll just get worse and worse as his career goes on. I'm hoping 240 or under but it should better than that even.

This is only 3 years ago...he was like 25, how'd let himself go.
Oh well though I like him as a fighter and would like to see him win or just give one hell of a performance.
I think they should pay heavyweights to come in at a reasonable weight much like they used to pay Tony Tubbs, and Tubbs would look slim next to a Chris Arreola.
