Comments Thread For: Quick Weights: Alvarado Overweight, Provodnikov 139.8

Its 1 pound, usually just a miscalculation

Still things like this can be very taxing on a guy who already cuts 20 pounds

Is one pound a miscalculation... I mean... anything less than half a pound I get, but a pound seems a little much.
Was it an electronic scale or the other one?

Ruslan looked like a monster at that weigh in. First time in my life I'm having serious doubt about my pick after a weigh in.

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

Why were you betting on Alvarado in the first place?.

He's really not that good at all, he was outboxed by Prescott for Christ sake.

[johnm is...]

It was electronic.

[Hougigo]

What casino lets people bet hours before the fight??

What do you mean?
You can bet on them like up until the ring walk

[MrRolltide91]

Time to move up

[Hougigo]

It was electronic.

Always room for error on those things then.
I thought they used the other scale to avoid that
They should have 2 just to be certain in case something like this happens

He'll sweat off a lb in two hours, no sweat.

Doubt it'll have too much impact, unless he looked really drained already.

Lol intentional irony?

Anyway, unless Ruslan really is much less impressive at 140, I think he's got this. I like Mike a lot, but he outboxed a really, really basic fighter in Rios. Provodnikov is going to cut the distance and knock his ass out, or at least get KO'd doing it. I don't think Mike will have nearly the success boxing that he did against Rios.

I'm a big supported of the electronic scales.

I have one at home and at my gym. If you buy a good one than there are no problems with its accuracy
