    If Oscar would have been aloud to rehydrate completely, would things still have...

    gone the same? I'm watching the fight right now and De La Hoya only went up 2 pounds. No wonder he looked sluggish. My question is, if he would have been aloud to balloon up to his regular fight night weight.. would things have gone differently? I can't remember the last time someone wasn't aloud to rehydrate.. I've sparred dehydrated before but never fought more then 3 rounds and it was very hard.

          I have no clue.. I just heard this right now and hadn't seen the fight so when I started watching it I saw he only gained two pounds over night.

          TBH he kinda deserved it though..

                      someone said he couldn't gain more then a few pounds on fight night or he would be fined mad money.

                      I actually don't blame him for quitting now.

                          no, he had to weigh in at 147 or under

                          he could have went up as high as he wanted after that

                          he just didnt

                                  no amount of liquids would've saved DLH from that ass whipping. He's done, Pac-man was just in a zone.

                                      I'm not sure that was in the contract. Please provide the proof if you can. But, if it was, then Pacquiao played it perfectly. The guy has only been at 135 for one fight, so he's basically moving up from 130.....a whopping 17 pounds to get DLH! If being at 147 on fight night was in the contract, it was a brilliant move. Otherwise, Mannie gets completely outsized.
