Fights when a severely weight drained fighter won.

Oscar vs Manny was the worst case of a drained fighter Ive seen in 50 yrs of following boxing , Manny out weighed him on fight night and Oscar could only gain 2 lbs from the weighin and needed IV fluids to do that , not Mannys fault but Oscar was a dead man walking .

Brandon Rios-Murray wtf? Rios didn't even bother making weight and re-hydrated to God knows what. Fuk outta here with he was severely weight drained.

About Hopkins DeLa Hoya . Hopkins routinely came into the ring at 158 ,157. Remember he said he could make 154. Kind of sounds like a hypocrite now doesn't he. When criticizing GGG, HE was pumping up His fighter Canelo. I wouldn't count Hopkins as weight drained either.

What fights did a guy kill himself to make weight and still pull off a W? I dont mean mismatches like Mikey vs Juanma or Rios vs Murray. I mean toss up fights like if Dawson would have beat Ward or DLH beat Pac. Nonito Donaire guy weighed like 140 when fighting at 115 118

Brandon Rios-Murray Brandon Rios vs everyone he's beat Rios/Acosta http://2l7kr2xl4t7418ewd3w7ur01d2m.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/acosta-vs.-rios-weigh-in.jpg Rios/Murray https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GN0GUhlV-TU/maxresdefault.jpg rios vs murray takes the cake for me. dude was a f#cking zombie at 135. never seen a kid who gets that big fight at a weight that small. dude looked like a short, chubby middlewegiht. he'd put on 20 lbs in 30 hours! that's probably not even possible without diuretics and IV fluids. he looked like utter garbage in the lead in and during the fight , but his opponent was so badly outmatched and undersized that he beat the living daylights out of him anyway good examples of this phenomenon are usually modern fighters who cut a ton of weight. chavez, vs lee. mikey garcia vs roman martinez. all good post but...

Cotto's career at 140. another good call Cotto looked so much better at 147 it pissed me off how they were feeding him former lightweights and jr lightweights when he was coming up guys like Victoriano Sosa and Rocky Martinez Cotto look dry, complexion faded, and protruding cheek bones at 140.

Jones Tarver 1? beat me to it :boxing: first one that came to mind....too bad it cost him the ability to perform at the top level ever again

Brandon Rios-Murray

Rios/Acosta http://2l7kr2xl4t7418ewd3w7ur01d2m.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/acosta-vs.-rios-weigh-in.jpg Rios/Murray https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GN0GUhlV-TU/maxresdefault.jpg

Cotto's career at 140.

Yep, pretty much the downfall of his career. Think i seen another post about dropping weight this way reduces punch resistance. Maybe its true It does as you are draining water from your whole body including your brain. It takes longer than 24 hours for that water to come back into your body fully therefore it puts you at greater risk of concussions. The UFC have been having earlier weigh-ins for a couple of weeks now and everyone seems to be happy about it. Before the weigh-ins would happen in the evening, now they happen in the morning which gives the fighter more time to rehydrate.

Lol, if you think it was 25+ lbs of muscle then you don't know how weight cutting as a professional athlete works. He had to eat/drink a lot to make the HW limit in the first place. He didn't have the natural body to be a HW. Once the fight was over, he would have started to drop weight naturally as he probably didn't consume as many calories to stay at the HW limit. Majority of that cut was water weight. He just cut a crazy amount in such a short period that I don't think his body was used to it and he looked really flat. Cutting that much weight at his age is never good. Yep, pretty much the downfall of his career. Think i seen another post about dropping weight this way reduces punch resistance. Maybe its true

yep. jones cut, at 35 or 36 years old like 25+ pounds of muscle. Lol, if you think it was 25+ lbs of muscle then you don't know how weight cutting as a professional athlete works.

Literally any Chavez Jr or Mikey Garcia fight.

^^^^^^^this yep. jones cut, at 35 or 36 years old like 25+ pounds of muscle.

Jones Tarver 1? ^^^^^^^this

One name Chavez jr Hes just a lazy fvck who doesnt train hard. I wouldnt say hes drained. Hes always getting the weight limit moved up.

Walters looked comfortable in the ring,no stamina issues which is a major sign of weight draining. Plus he rehydrated BIG. I'd hardly label that as severely weight drained. About Hopkins DeLa Hoya . Hopkins routinely came into the ring at 158 ,157. Remember he said he could make 154. Kind of sounds like a hypocrite now doesn't he. When criticizing GGG, HE was pumping up His fighter Canelo.

Walters looked like a starving Ethiopian child at the weigh in for Donaire. That was a high profile fight. I dont think he ever made 126 after that again either but I could be wrong.
