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

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Cant be worse than the weight that Julio has to lose during fight week.

7 pounds over a week is not much at all. Most boxers lose that, and more, with a week left. It really is normal. He probably loses much of it during workouts, but then puts it back on overnight rehydrating etc. 7 pounds with a week left is fine. Nothing to worry about at all.

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

Absolutely. I don't know what everyone's on about. It's much more worrying that a guy is already down to 122 weeks or a week out. It shows he is over trained or small for his division. Maybe a bit of both in his case.

7 pounds is easy to lose over a week. This is completely normal for all modern boxers. Welcome to the world of the day before weigh in!

A pound of water weighs roughly 8.3 pounds. He needs to lose about .84 - .85 gallons to make weight.

With a name like Mathed, I'm hoping that's just a typo.

It might be doable but then again Donaire hasn't been in a tough fight in a long time.
Lets see what happens if he gets to round 9 onward how he looks.

But Rigo still got to avoid that left.

thats nothing. ive cut 10lbs in 2 days

Water weight/retention is normally lost in the first few weeks of a camp or excercise program. That is why the 1st month or so in the gym you make the biggest and quickest weight loss. Unless his diet has moderate-high levels of sodium, hes probly not carrying 7lbs worth of water weight at this point in time. He's going to have to not eat and sweat out most of that in the upcoming days. Doable? Yes, but not easily or good for your health for obvious reasons.

Must have a great conditioning team.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

5-7 lbs is about the norm a week or 10 days out.

They know what they are doing.
