Paul Williams gained 17 pounds in one day. HOW?!?

[TopDawg]

It's not that rere when it comes to boxing. Joshua Clottey came in from 147 or 49 to 170 in 1 day when he fought Diego Corrales (R.I.P). And I heard Edison Miranda went up to 193 or somewhere around in his last fight at 168. I think it's a sign that the boxer is having some trouble making weight and is going to have to move up in weight soon.

The Banks fight?

WTF?!? He just ****ing moved up from 160!

How in the hell is he so huge at 168 already?!?

Does anyone have a link to something telling his weight that night, because that would seriously be something to behold.

Unfortunatly, I don't have a link. I think Pantera2000 is the one who said it. That is crazy if true though.

For the record I think Clottey vs Corrales was at a catchweight of 149 and Clottey came in at 151 on the first try.

I find it funny people bring up the weight now as why Williams lost when he was 162 against Margarito coming up from 145 3/4.

For the record I think Clottey vs Corrales was at a catchweight of 149 and Clottey came in at 151 on the first try.

And he said he only weighed that much because he weighed himself with all of his clothes on.

If Williams and Quintana ever fought again, the rematch would be reminiscent of Lewis v Rahman II. Williams will knock him out. Williams found out who he was fighting in a month, and knowing that it was Quintana, didnt take him seriously or train. Thats apparent in the his weight gain from 146 to 164 overnight. Whenever that happens, it means that a fighter had a difficult time losing the weight becuz they didnt train properly. Everyones saying that Quintana is a top 3 WW, Williams got exposed, and its all bull****. Lets not overhype the situation. Williams did not take the fight seriously, overlooked his opponent, and paid dearly for it. As a result he lost. Its not the first time this has happened in boxing. Any true student of the sport will know this. But to completely ostracize a fighter cuz he lost to an underdog is just foolish. I doubt Quintana will take the rematch. He'll probably go for the most lucrative bout possible while he has the championship title as his bargaining chip. BUT if he does fight Williams again, you will definately see the end of the Quintana bandwagon. I just came this forum, and already Ive seen the issues that past members who came and left this forum have encountered. Its like most of you are 13 year old white boys whos first boxing match was viewed in 2004. Quintana wins and now hes a God. But let Quintana fight Carlos Baldomir and lose and youll all start saying Baldomir can beat Mayweather in a rematch, hes the best, blah blah blah. Lets not get overzealous: Quintana fought a great fight and won. That win was facillitated by Williams lack of focus and training. The only thing Williams consistently said after the fight was that he could never get into the fight. Well, its hard to get into a fight on fight night when you werent in it before. Rematch though, and you'll see Williams right back at the level he was at prior to the loss. Quintana is no more the truth than Rahman, Griffin, Raheem or Corrie Sanders were. This is just my 2 cents. I know boxing.

I'm actually having my doubts about that... considering you think a non-skilled volume puncher with no power is going to knock out a very accurate counterpuncher in a rematch.

Williams = no skills, no accuracy and no defense.
Quintana = counterpuncher with good accuracy and good defense.

Quintana avoids the shots that lack technique (which is probably 90% of them) and sends back good counters all night... it would look just like... umm, uhh... oh yeah, the first time they fought, 2 nights ago.

i have a question for u guys

should the commission make boxers to move up in weight because of the constantly overweight in fight night???
