Donaire is 7lbs over the 122 limit a week before the fight?

[Los Zetas]

Is the T's making excuses or bashing Donate?

[RL_GMA]

I made mention of this last week. I have no doubt this is his last fight at 122. I don't think he'll be drained, but I think he may struggle a little to make weight. I don't think it's going to effect him because Rigo's not going to make him work more than try waiting on Donaire. Had he been fighting a pressure fighter, I'd be a little concerned for Donaire.

I thought there was a safety weight that cannot exceed 5% the week before the fight?

Which would put him at 128.1 max.

So he's about a pound away from where he should be.


Is he a WBC champ?

[Russian Crushin]

Sounds right on point

Good point. If Rigo really took this fight to Donaire, things could get ugly for Nonito. But we all know Guillermo doesn't fight that way. This raises an interesting question, though: What if in the later rounds Rigo lands a couple of hard shots? Will Donaire's rush to make weight cost him? Nonito might very well need every ounce of energy at some point.

If anything, I am more worried that Rigo is already on weight.

[brick wall]

as usual rigo fans *****ing about everything.

he had more pounds to shed at the lower weights days before the fight and he was fine.

he'll just sweat it out, take a dump, skip a meal and he'll make the weight easily.

diego corrales sweated off 10 pounds the day of the weigh in vs. mayweather and nobody wants to believe he was drained. so 7 pounds on Tuesday shouldn't be a big deal.

[Evol]

yea, not eating breakfest and lunch will lose 7 lbs. What world are you living in?

U guys must be super over weight. A person at 130 can shed lbs fast. I'm right around 140 and if I don't eat for the whole day at work and I go and weight myself I'll drop 2 lbs or so and this is from not eating and doing the usual routine at work walking to my office, restroom etc. now imagine adding a work out routine, I'll drop even more weights!

[F l i c k e r]

donaire says the 7 pounds shouldn't be a problem to shed...not sure if this is how he's done things before, but i'm confident he'll be fine come fight night.

It is how he usually does things. Eats nothing but soups, practically all water weight.
