He seems to be in good shape. thats not that much.

I think it's still doable. He's going to have to for when he fights Cotto. It would be a shame to lose all that muscle mass though.

this guy is one of the most professional fighters of course he made the 30 day weight

[UglyPug]

guys that's not a lot of weight at all between fights. on average a fighter fights at about "20 pounds under his normal, in shape, regular diet, fully hydrated weight". Sergio was prolly about 180 pounds at the start of camp. he might be around 185 outta training camp now that he has clearly added some muscle

[puga]

he had to loose 20 lbs in 3 weeks in his last fight also if im not mistaken....so he's good right now!......

He would do it just to knock Pacroid out but Pacroids too much of a ***** to fight anyone who's not shot.
