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

[New England]

that's from his mouth. does this dude plan on coming in over weight? he will get taken apart in the mid to later rounds by a much better conditioned fighter who is extremely sharp.

losing 7 lbs on a 129lb fighter is a lot of weight, I don't care who you are.

7 lbs is nothing at this stage. that's exactly where they want to be. donaire is a big guy for this weight, even if he just got there. it's not healthy for him to be close to weigh in weight for a long period of time. they want to be heavy. they want to put on a ton of weight after the weigh in and have an advantage in the ring. they will only want him to be at the weigh in weight for a few hours / half a day at most.


welcome to the era of "modern nutrition," and the 3 oclock weigh in on friday.

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.

It will get interesting indeed. Hes going to be able catch Donaire clean multiple times in this fight. If he hurts him Rigo will tear him apart.

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

it's evidence of how much smaller he is. he's also got a leaner body type. donaire carries some loose skin. rigondeaux is about as ripped as a man can get.

He will be fine,I do not want to hear any excuses come fight night.Whomever wins this fight will be the better man and will have earned this victory.

I can lose 10lbs just by sweating it off in the sauna.

[dan_cov]

7lbs is nothing, hes right on point IMO

It just destroys the fanboy theory of he now walks around at 128

[lx!!]

It's really not that bad. He could get rid of the excess weight in hours before weight in day & just rest & rehydrate night before the fight.

hey, genius.

majority of boxers cut 10, 15, 20 pounds before weigh in. it's water.

that's why when they rehydrate, their fight night weight is 10, 15, 20 pounds above what they weighed in.

i love how ppl don't even know the most basic things about the sport but try to talk.

Donaire always cuts. He's pretty big even for 122, but people are closer to his size now at least. I think he used to cut more than 7.. Thats not too bad. Few hours in the sauna and a big s hit and he'll be where he needs to.
