Wouldn't say we'll below but lower than Edwin. Guess he learned from missing weight at 130

Last time I checked, you DONT need to come in at the weight limit.

133.8 is hardly well below.

thought i was going to see 132 or something like that

Welp. There goes the notion of Shakur being ‘huge’ LOL.

1.2lb is a notable difference in boxing, that’s why some fighters have catchweights with a 1-2lb difference from their respective original division. Canelo at 155 for example.

Tank-Garcia 136lb.

I don’t recall the last time a fighter came in at 133 at lightweight, shows he’s disciplined and really isn’t that big imo.

You don’t. But most fighters struggle with weight because they’re big for the division. Seems to be the opposite with Shakur, he isn’t that big.

It's not really. It's essentially 1 lb under which happens regularly.
