    the scale was probably moving around because of all of the people on the stage. it happens. they'd need balls of steel to pull that stuff off in front of so many people from both camps.


    so many people would have to be "in on it."

      Even Lucas said latter that "funny things happen" when he was asked about this.

        the scales had too much movement the first time and set at 140.5. Sometimes happens to me when I get on the scales too fast, it can set at up to 2 lbs higher/lower than what I actually am.

            Slightly let air out then hold the air steady (lungs), get back on the scale towards the back of it, move your elbows away from your sides!
            Give me some chewing gum, a plastic suit and a jump rope with a fairly heated room and 1 1/2 pounds comes off in about 40 minutes! Ray.

              It's weird that when Danny weighed in, there was too many people around him. Floyd and his massive entourage didn't mess up Canelo's weigh in attempt. Odd.

                Alvarez was actually 155.

                    Dont know if the person reading the scale was right or wrong, but he read that thing way to fast at first. Let the thing settle a bit, Jesus.

                      A half a pound shouldn't be a big deal. If he were over by 1 or more lbs and they let it go, then there should be reason for concern.
