Impressions of a photographer who saw Canelo's weigh gain after the weigh in

This guy worked in the Canelo Cotto fight shooting Canelo. He saw the transformation after the weigh in. He also states that Canelo being 187 against Khan was bullshit, of course. For the people reading Canelo coming in at 187 on fight night against Khan. There are numerous sources that states he came in at various weights on fight night , from 172 all the way from what Khan was quoted saying "187 pounds". My personal experience when I was working Canelo Cotto , he was rumored to be around 180 against Cotto. From what I saw thats highly believable him at the weigh in and him on fight day in the dressing room when I was shooting him , he was huge . On a Friday him and I being almost equal in size the next day his whole body doubled in size, craziest transformation I ever seen. It like reminded me in DBZ when Vegeta 1st witnessed Zarbon's transformation. Source: go to the video and read the first comment. The guy that uploaded the video is the guy that actually wrote that comment.

I don't believe in weight bullies. Of you can make the weight you can make the weight. I disagree whole heartily, when someone is draining themselves so bad to have a big advantage over a guy who makes the weight comfortably it makes a mockery of that division it becomes a case of good big man beating a good little man this is why imho that we need to scrap super divisions. Guys like Broner and Ward took advantage of that I mean look at them now when they fight at their NATURAL weight limit they look like trash they can't throw about their weight as much and they're not doing as well as they have been doing. It's a whole different ball game when you're fighting at the same weight as your opponent is hence why Ward has looked absolutely average at 175lbs I said it before he even moved to light heavy, he is overrated! You all overrated Broner the same way too, expecting him to be the heir to the Floyd Mayweather throne well look how that turned out!!

Lol some of these guys make me laugh, 15 pounds of water weight is nothing for an under thirty fighter. many boxers fights cut weight when they start camp they change the diet to first try and lose mass, usually two days before weigh in they hit the sauna and drain mass amounts of water you would be amazed how much water weight some people can lose in a day before weigh in, fighters will lie down wrapped in warm wet towels the entire morning to stay warm, and drink pedialyte post weigh in and eat they will put in any where from 15 to 30 lbs Plenty Mexicans boxers are notorious mass weight advantage cutters.

I'm going to assume this thread is some GGG fanboy propaganda. Actually it comes from a guy who works for Golden boy... The sad part is I like Canelo and all the GB fighters I've had the honor of shooting because I work production for Golden Boy. Canelo fans are triggered for no reason. They see the difference on the tube , but they werent physically there sizing the man up in the locker room. The guy is huge , and whatever I read in boxing news regarding his weight I believe it. Source: same video, same comment, look at the replies.

I don't think Canelo is 180 on fight night--most likely between 170-175. But my question is, why aren't weigh in's mandatory on fight night? And when they're done, why can't they use good digital scales instead of crappy bathroom scales? I'd be very interested to see what Chavez Jr. weighs. If Canelo fights GGG, the IBF won't be up for it because of the second day weigh in

If you actually read the post, rather than simply harp about the headline, you wouldn't have just played yourself. WTF do you talk about? get inside that thread and see how I made him look silly he disappeared from it.

I think he might be cutting 20 pounds. 26 seems unreasonable to me. The point the guy is making is that he had never seen such transformation. why is 6 more lb unreasonable a year later? But yeah, I understand the point. He is a weight bully. Puts on too much. Like I said, there needs to be a weigh in limit. I honestly think the best idea is a weigh in on the morning of the fight, so if the main event is 10 or 11 at night, have it 12 hours earlier. Then they can only way a max of 5lb over that limit by fight time (can have a weigh in an hour before).

I have a friend who works in the commission (wont mention his name for obvious reasons) and he told me Canelo was 193.5 the night of the Khan fight and 197.4 the night of the Cotto fight. ^^^bull****

Wake me up when Danny Garcia's father is fined for talking to his son between rounds, assh0le. If you actually read the post, rather than simply harp about the headline, you wouldn't have just played yourself.

You're the one who looks like an idiot if you think a guy dropping 25lbs is impossible. Gatti used to make 140 and come into the ring at 165-170 all day long. source please. The most controversial weigh-in for Gatti was clearly the Joey Gamanche fight, where he "weighed in at 140lbs" (rumors abound that the scale was gimmicked to allow Gatti to actually weigh several pounds above that) and ended up weighing 160lbs, unofficially, on fight night. If you have a fight where Gatti was actually rumored to have weighed in that high, the information would be greatly appreciated

I'm going to assume this thread is some GGG fanboy propaganda. As usual, tbh. 'Alvarez is this giant man, therefore he should have no issues agreeing to give Golovkin the full 160lbs (even though Alvarez has already shown that he can still make 154, and Golovkin and his camp have humg their hats on this nonsense about Golovkin being a small middleweight who could fight at 154)' rinse/cycle/repeat

Alvarez gained 19 pounds after weigh in against angulo, and 18.5 pounds against Trout, and performed well in both fights. So don't come here with that 10/15 pounds rule. I don't think he gained weight to 180 after weigh in, but just wanted to post the opinion of the guy who actually works in boxing, and was shocked to see Canelo's transformation. He claimed he looked so huge compared to the day before that 180 didn't seem unreasonable. He's not affirming anything. Will agree to disagree; north of 15lbs in a night, to me, is putting someone at risk for the situation to turn out badly (drained in the ring or sluggish for putting on too much weight). Never been in a boxing locker room where they do the day-of weights, but rumor has it that those weights are nowhere near as formal as the "strip to your near skivvys" weights at the official weigh-in.

And he was 172 for Trout and 174 for angulo :bottle::bottle::lame: He didn't even make 154 vs Angulo. They had to throw him 100k because Canelo couldn't lose that extra pound.
