Matthysse looks sick/gaunt

[Weebler I]

I hate to say this because its always **** people say about Broner but truth is he is younger than Matthysse and his body probably adjusts to the fluxuation in weight easier than Matthysse I know my body reacts differently to stuff now that im 29 compared to when i was 23

No doubt but Matthysse has always made weight with no issues. This time he has had his house broken into, passport issues and arrived in the US 2 days before the fight following an 8,000 mile journey. People should cut him some slack imo.

He has a day to get right so I'm not even worried. People put so much stock into the weigh-ins it's crazy.

Cry me a river ! If it was anyone not named Mathysse no one would be looking to cut the guy slack.

Yea its def a lot to deal with going in to a big fight like this i just saw the weigh in pics he looked better there in my opinion maybe this was just a bad photo they released or something

dude obviously is draining himself to make 140.............why can't fighters just fight in their natural weight class. sick of this draining to balloon up BS.

I'm pulling for him but damn.............

oh the irony, are you guys gonna hold that over his head and give him no credit for the rest of his career?

They are abusing the weighing system is what you are not understanding. If a fighter like Canelo for example walks around at 170+ and you take a fighter like Martinez who walks around at about 165+ then what does that tell you? Clearly Canelo is forcing himself to fight at 154 for a clearly obvious reason. Just because he can make the weight on the weigh in it doesn't mean they are not abusing the system. Its allowing fighters to campaign at a weight class that they shouldn't be in to give an size advantage over those who naturally fight at that same respected weight class. That is the issue here. If hes having trouble making weight then that's the price he should pay for abusing how the weigh in system is these days. Like I said, it should be same day weigh in like the old days to stop giving these guys advantages.

Its funny because Donaire wants to complain about him having trouble making weight for his fight with Rigo and trying to imply that it was a reason why he lost. He was clearly bigger then Rigo and so the obvious is obvious why he was fighting in that weight class when he should have been at 130 a good while ago.

No, the rules are clear. If you want to fight at a certain weight, then you have to weigh-in at or below that weight. There is no abuse, a fighter can either make it or he can't.

You get a lot of fighters who blow up between fights, are they supposed to fight at their blown up weight? come on.

So for the guy (name escapes me) who fainted last week trying to make weight when he could've easily made it one class above ... Why would he put himself throu that kind of torture if he didnt feel it would benefit him once he rehydrated 15+ pounds ?
You wouldn't consider depriving yourself of food and water for an extended period of time until you pass out abusing your body ?
