Lucas Matthysse clears up fight night weight issue

[dan_cov]

Only idiots could of believe he was really 163 on fight night anyway.

He usually rehydrates to around 151-153 which is common and actually not that much.

Most guys in the same weight division rehydrate another 5-6lbs on top of that.
Rios, Alvarado, Prescott to name a few

I think because Hunter made a big deal over the Amino's it perhaps made a few people think maybe it was possible.

Also thanks for posting this & helping to clear things up among the haters

I knew it was BS, Showtime needs to apologize for their mistake on their next broadcast.

Hunter is complaining over nothing. Amino acid is just a protein supplement. It is natural, legal, and found in many foods.The idea that he gained 23 pounds is absurd but even if he did, it's not against the rules to gain lots of weight after the weigh in.

Showtime failed with the weight mix up. You'd think Bernstein or Mauro would've cleared it up, once they showed the graphic.

Jack asses.

I don't see how anyone believed he weighed 163 to begin with. He obviously didn't.

his weight had nothing to do with his KTFO of mike dallas jr. anyway so I don't think its a big issue.

They've had plenty of time and chances to correct this "mistake", yet they still haven't.

During the pre-fight, all they pointed out was Dallas' reach advantage which was like 2", when the only thing that stuck out like a sore thumb was Lucas day of weight.

It would be nice for Showtime to clear it up, not Lucas.

LOL their a certain group of fans, eager and desperatly trying to find something to hate on Lucas for, and this weight thing they jumped on.

Sorry guys Lucas will run the 140 division till he runs into Rios.

Showtime need to clarify or rectify this, this is why fighters don't like doing fight night weigh-ins.

[Slyboots]

Sorry guys Lucas will run the 140 division till he runs into Rios.

Sorry, guy, but that fight will never happen.
