De La Hoya's Weight on Dec. 6th

[Double_L]

So I'm not too keen on the subject, but how much water-weight do fighters usually lose when weighing in? If ODLH already weighs 147, and has so for several weeks (Episode 2 of 24/7 had him at 147.9 after sparring), will he actually put on 10+ pounds on fight night? That seems very unnatural to me, even more so than dehydrating to weigh in. I just don't see how he will put on as much weight as he usually does if he's weighed around 147 for an extended period of time. It'd be like gaining 10 lbs of water weight which wasn't there in the first place.

Someone please enlighten me. And how much does everyone here think DLH will weigh in at on fight night?

Well I take it that 147.9 was after he had lost a fair amount of water and had not eaten in a fair time if he was training.

So picture this, De La Hoya weighs in at 147 after eating and drinking limited amounts that day. They he goes away, hydrates properly and eats a lot of energy. He could easily be 157+ come fight night...
