I bet dela Hoya doesn't make weight on the first try. :D

    dela Hoya is depending on his power to make the difference in this fight, and fighting Pacquiao 10 to15 lbs heavier would definitely give him that advantage just like in the Gatti fight. But dela Hoya's been bragging that he kept himself at a certain weight level for months even before training camp so the weight loss was supposed to be a lot more gradual and that he trained at a certain weight level that is pretty close to welter 150-155 I think. So even if dela Hoya bleeds himself a wee bit to make weight, I don't think that bloating himself to 160 from weigh-in and fight night would be part of the plan.

      I think ODLH cannot make the 147lbs, but the fight will still on, ODLH stamina and power will not last for 5 rounds.

        What balls? He'll probably take the fishnets off just to make weight.

            DLH is the consummate professional, he will make weight. The man weighs 149 right now, two pounds is nothing and from reports I have read, he's weighed that for a while now.

            The key is to get to that weight slowly so it won't affect your stamina or strength. Oscar has been keeping that weight for a while.

                  From what i've read, if Oscar comes in even a fraction over the 147lb limit, he will be fined.

                      But even if he comes in at 147.5, he will be fined.
