    DLH didn't look 149 during the press conference for Katsidis-Diaz, I could be wrong though because all I could see was his face, which looked a little fat.

      So, what's Arum up to? he's saying that DLH wouldn't have any problem with his weight thus taking away 1 of the few advantage that Pac will should have hence telling the people that Pac will most probably lose the fight. Is it just? I really dont get it.

        Question, does Oscar have to come in at 147 on the weigh-in day, or on fight night? I recall reading somewhere that the contract is for Oscar to come into the fight weighing no more than 147.

          That's what I'm aware of too.

            Oscar will make weight easily, This is why Oscar knows he wont retire because when he knocks pacman out or beats him easily it will only make him look like the comeback kid and then a fight with mayweather jr would be huge!

            Also Oscar will have all the Advantages he will be in the best shape, he will have reach, height and power and skill advantage over pacman and also pacman made a huge mistake by allowing oscar 8oz gloves, oscar with 8oz gloves is deadly and faster and will throw harder and faster combos.

            Oscar looked lean Arum was not lying If you saw him at the BAD card in houston he was looking slim and probably 155 tops.

              There's no way DLH would agree to that, he has to rehydrate.

                Those has been said over and over again many times.

                  Well if that's what the contract calls for, then he has no choice. What good would it be to just have Oscar come in at 147 the day before, if he could just rehydrate to 160 over night?

                    There's no way DLH would agree to that clause, he wouldn't risk his own health like that, even for that money.

                    And that's why most think this will be a mismatch, DLH will be a middleweight at fight time while Pacquiao will still be a welterweight.
