Nate Campbell vs. Joan Guzman is Still in Doubt

[Zocalo]

I smell a huge lawsuit brewing.....

It sucks... you got to believe that the Casino will never host another boxing event ever due to Guzman canceling the event due to his weight problems.

People are so surprised that he is overweight...but look at the surrounding facts.

He's moving up to lightweight against an aggressive puncher when he himself hasn't has knockout power since 122.

The answer?

Strength training. Muscle requires adequate hydration. He added too much muscle to his frame. Another poster pointed out that against Soto his first weigh-in was 2lbs. over and he re-hydrated to 148lbs.

With that knowledge we understand that even if he added no muscle to his frame, his fighting weight is still 148 pounds -- 13 pounds over the 135lb limit. Most fighters don't even rehydrate 13 pounds, so if Joan added muscle to his frame he obviously will be unable to make 135.

People are saying he didn't train or he under-trained but the problem was he trained too much and added too much muscle. This isn't Joan's fault. This is a problem with his team and the blame lies solely on them. The fighter hires nutritionists and trainers to make a work-out routine for them to follow and the boxer's only responsibility is to follow that routine.

Now, seeing as how Joan is moving up in weight classes so quickly it should be completely understandable that his team didn't have the perfect plan for his first fight at 135.

Let's stop turning this news into hen house gossip and wait until some thing develops.

It's called a sauna suit or better yet, train to make the ****ing weight. It's kind of odd that he can't make weight when he is moving up 5 pounds. This is a ****ing disgrace to the sport.
