Does anyone know what Charlo usually weighs in the ring?

Charlo 172 tomorrow night

Sure he looks skinny. He's 5'11" and weighs less than 154 pounds, he is skinny!

It’s not how you drain, it’s how you rehydrate. Common misconception.

When you drain your body excessively, you cut muscle mass, not just water wait, and that's where the problem is, no amount of rehydration or how you do it will replace muscle mass, especially in 24 hours,that's why fighters who drain their bodies excessively, are weak and lethargic on fight night, big bro Jermall had issues in his last fight because he's draining himself and looked sloppy. You can get away with it when your young, but once you get older it affects your body more, we will see tomorrow.

Unless Charlo KO Castano early or manage to handle inside game, it will be a long night for him...

Jermall struggled to make weight in the Montiel fight and didn't look so great that night, but he didn't look nearly like such an emaciated, ripped skeleton at the weigh-in as Jermell does here. Maybe it's just the light but damn...

You are right, but there is a 'wall'. And IMO carlo definitely appears to have went past the point of no return.
Won't be surprised if he lacks snap in his punches, and has less punch resistance.

Wow! Yes this is a great fight! I can't wait!

I knew the result before the fight even started. But I didn't write what I also suspected, that they would rob Brian.

Charlo can win. But don't underestimate Brian. If he's down on the scorecards, he'll fight like a lion the last 6 rounds. Will give his life to win.

I think Brian wins by SD/UD. 7-5 type of fight.
