Why no video of weigh in?

Why are there only 2 pics of Toney up, all from the same angle, where we can't see his profile and see just how much his gut is really protruding? Why is there no video of the weigh-in anywhere on the net, aren't the weigh-ins almost always televised?

Does anyone else find this strange?

Bit weird eh? Ive looked everywhere and cant find **** but the same 2 photos! Not long now anyway!

Why hasn't it gotten up on youtube, or offered on maxboxing.com or anything? It's strange that it's so scarce especially when it's one of those cases where both guys have been known to come to fight flabby and a video would tell us everything.

Pictures lie (******* has proven that again and again) but video doesn't.

From what I saw he looks more cut but still has handles. His weight is about the same as the last fight but he does look harder and in better shape .

apparently there was very little coverage of the weigh-in event for some reason..

Not many people to cover a major fight in South Florida...

The pictures in this case do not lie and it's obvious that both men have come in better shape. Toney's guy is smaller, his **** are tighter, and his face and neck are slimmer.

Peter is slimmer around the shoulders and belly.

You really can't compare from only two pictures. I remember seeing pictures of Toney before the Ruiz fight where he looked alright in still frames but was a piece of tubby **** when you saw him on HBO getting into the ring.

Keep in mind websites usually use the most flattering pictures that photographers take, not ****ty ones.

Yes, you aboslutely can compare. I already saw the pics compared from both weigh ins, side by side and the pics were at similar angles and the difference is obvious.

Toney by decision. Peter has a solid chance either way, due to his power and apparent increased shape.

Why no video of weigh in?
