Klitschko 244 Rahman 253

[southpaw_07]

I take that back....i never saw a weigh-in this strange...Hasim fully dressed and Wlad K. bare chest but long pants....whats the deal here?
I guess the weight wasn't an issue here..

[Boogie Nights]

the actual weigh-in is only in underpants..

he had all his **** on when he stepped on the scale

You cant blame Rahman for comming in that heavy. After the Toney bout i guess he even thinked about retirement and then, 5 weeks before fight-time he gets a call to fight the man at heavyweight, Wladimir Klitschko, a fight he would never think he would get at this stage! So of course he said YES! I take this shot! This is good money and with one fight he could be the on the Top of the division but 5 weeks to train is not enough. I think Klit will stop him in round 2 but a guy like Rahman has always a punchers chance, even against Klitschko who has not the best chin as we know. But that would be a huge upset. But there is no pressure on Rahman i guess, nobody expects him to really to beat Klitschko and this is some good money for him.

Rocks only chance is the 1st 3 rounds so look for him to come out firing away. I think if he lands a good shot on Vlads suspect chin, he might knock him out....


BUT, this is Rahman we're talking about and i see him getting KTFO in about 5 rounds

[ACHlLLES]

Rahman isn't getting ko'd in the ring, he chose Buddy McGirt as a trainer so he could quit in the corner like a *****

[PBDS]

Fighters always seem to want to come in heavy against the giants so they don't wilt in the clinches.

When has that **** ever worked?

...It happens to Vitali every time he fights.

Usually when boxers do that it's because they don't want people to see how fat they are. Rahman should make a nice heavy bag for Wlad.

[Kris Silver]

The trainer he literally just ditched, said he was 242 a couple of weeks ago.

Wearing all that **** in a weigh in, should not be alowd. Makes it a lot less accurate and undermines the whole point in weighing in the first place.

I dont think it matters, as heavyweights, their goal is to weight in more then 200 pounds.
Nothing else.

BTW, Wlad's always wearing pants to the weight in cause he got some skinny legs.

Rahman doesn't seem to be one of those people who does any better at a particular weight. He came in at 224 against Holyfield a few years ago.

yea go figure. he came in at a huge 260 for tua and clearly won the fight only for it to be scored a draw
