Pac/Marg will be Pac/DLH II....here's why....

[Pullcounter]

Just my take.....

So the catchweight is 150lbs right? According to reports....margarito is only 1lb. above the contracted weight the week of the fight. I thought the "right way" to prepare for a fight was to cut weight a day or two before the weigh in and then re-hydrate back to optimum weight (+10/15lbs night of the fight). Last 24/7 episode they showed that he was at what weight? (157-159lbs?) Margarito looked like he was so drained.....granted they showed clips of him training hard and hitting the mitts with Garcia....but all 24/7 has showed is Pac getting blasted in sparring as well...(great marketing ploy by the way).

If Margarito doesn't re-hydrate back to at least 160-165lbs....same mistake will be made as with the DLH fight....he will have lost his ONLY advantage....his physical advantage.

Like Emmanuel Steward said during I think it was the 3rd or 4th round of the DLH fight...."It turns out DLH is only the TALLER fighter...."

Wonder how much of Margs chin and power will be left for the fight.....

question: how do you weight drain a career welterweight like margarito with a 150 lbs catchweight???!!!!! HOW THE **** DO YOU DO THAT???!!!

So if Marg is already around 151lbs-154lbs a week before / week of the fight....what is he suppose to re-hydate back up to? If its not 160lbs+...then he has no more advantage over Pac right?

I think the 158 (Ep1) and 154 (Ep3) weight they mentioned was after cutting down 8-10 pounds...seeing if he could cut down in 1 or 2 days...

Come fight time he should be back to 160...

I see your point. Marg does look extremely ripped and he still has to shed some pounds.

they still put on weight.

even a week before the fight , they're already cutting weight to make sure they can make weight at the weigh in.

plus they're training hard every day so they're burning a lot of calories.

after the weigh in when they can rehydrate + eat + stopped running/gym work , he'll put on some pounds.


look at pac. even though he has no problems making weight at 147 , he still puts on a few pounds after the weigh in.

btw..... some 411.

weightdrain is when you cut so much weight for the weigh in.

he can't be weightdrained then if he's only 4-8 lbs. away from the weigh in weight.

^^This.


Some people fail realize that there are times that a boxer comes overweight at the weigh-in and has to lose the same amount of pounds (4)that Tony needs to lose in 1 week. Except they do it on the same day. 4 pounds in one week is nothing.

If you're already looking for an excuse, I believe that the proper one is overtrained. That one looks like it will work well in this situation.

when everyone kept saying oscar was weightdrained i was trying to come up with a different since weightdrained wasn't right.

i was thinking overtrained? , underweight? , overdieted?

weightdrained is just incorrect (though even boxing writers used it too , which is surprising)

You had it but the other cat missed it.
