It's weigh-in day today, Friday.

I'm assuming both these guys are starving themselves just to maintain the 147lb requirement. Let's face it, we gain weight as we get older even without increasing our food intake.

Very true.
It was very apparent for me when I turned 30.
Stanionis is 30 right now, Boots is 27.

Yeah, I'm 5' 8" and already weighed 160+ lbs when I was nearing 30.

Boots looked weight drained in a photo I saw of him for this fight
And still won’t make the move up

Hiding from the serious heat at 154 you reckon?

BoxRec has listed their weights: Boots weighed in at 146.5, Stanionis at 146.75.

Because this is a unification, Ennis won't have to abide by IBF's 10lb rehydration and second weigh-in rule. Even-though he didn't look good in a recent photo, I expect his rehydration process to be much simpler.

Looks like the weigh in is getting delayed. Should have been over by now...

It's possible someone is having a hard time making the weight.
