    Add a rehydration clause to that catchweight, somebody please!

    So all of the brave fighters let their opponents have a 20 lb advantage. Got it……..,

        came in to say this. most of all that "theyre scared" stuff is overhyped but spinks legit looked like he saw a demon, thats the one fight that really looks like a fighter was shook.


        true like the other guy said he atleast went down on his shield and didnt try to quit or fake an injury. think he knew he was getting sparked out.

          In Shapiro’s book apparently when Tyson had his hands wrapped Team Spinks felt they could see lump under the wraps and wanted Tyson to have his hands re-wrapped. This caused tensions to boil over a bit and Tyson told Kevin Rooney to inform Spinks that Mike was gonna seriously hurt him.

          Not sure how true that story is and how much the threat from Mike actually shook Spinks but he did look legitimately scared walking to the ring that night so I somewhat believe it.

            Mikey Garcia vs Spence

            Chavez Jr and Callum Smith vs Canelo

            which was weird to watch, as both were significantly bigger than the ginger

            Canelo looked like a dwarf against Smith, yet it was Smith doing the running all night

              To be fair, Chavez actually looked sick making 164.

              Smith wasn’t much better but that at least was of his own doing.

                And he’s going to beat Beterbiev according to the poster

                  You are afraid for Tank if he has to face the same Ryan Garcia as everyone else at 140 must face, even though Tank himself had a 140 title? Was Tank’s 140 title a fake?

                  for the record, I doubt there would be any where near 20 pounds difference between Tank and Ryan if they simply met at the half way point 137.5 with no rehydration clause.

                  In your opinion, how much larger do you think Haney will be when he fights Loma?

                      Chavez was a finished fighter as well as being badly drained by one of Canelo's contracts.

                      Smith was in a pandemic environment with no real training or sparring and got the fight 4 weeks out which meant Callum had 3 weeks at home which would be rushed, and needed to bring his weight crashing down pretty quickly. Again, all by design from Canelo. Like his whole career is.
