    So then in that case they shall change the weight in to the day of the fight in that case. lol . But hey.. they make the weight.. That's the important part. Other fighters could do the same. Either way Cotto is moving up pretty soon to 147. Every fighter comes in a lil overweight at fights. I agree Cotto comes atleast 15+ pounds for fights. But hey they other fighters could do the same. Anyways.. lets see how much he comes in tommorrow. Im assuming Cotto comes in at 148...

      Yeah, I realize that but it's still blatant cheating and it bugs me. I expect Cotto to come in somewhere around 152. No way he's lower then 148.

        I also agree that it is unfair. But if one fighter does it then the other should just gain those extra pounds also. But i get your point.

            cottos one of my fav. fighters. But I will be betting KO branco just becuase the payout is so much. Considering cotto has to lose one day and he has been hurt a couple times as of late. as always I will be cheering for cotto while putting atiny wager on branco

              I dont think Bronco is going to KO Cotto. I see Cotto taking Bronco's punches. I see this fight ending with a left hook to the chin in the 5th round.

                re abdiel2k:

                Look, any average Joe on the street can dry himself out, sweat himself down by wearing a rubber suit and exercising in a sauna. It's one thing to drop a couple of pounds using these practices, but these fighters are dropping 20 pounds doing this dangerous and life threatening activity. It's often times taking the place of sound training and nutrition which is what day before the fight weigh-ins are supposed to have avoided.

                    i guess
                    but it when theyre drained that still leaving just theyre muscle
                    so what if u drop water weght
                    and poop a lil more
                    i just dont see water weight be such an advantage

                    it just seems like a big deal cuz the 2 main guys that are known for doin this
                    cotto and gatti have good power
                    so it makes it seem like thats where their power comes from
                    but how many times have u seen guys drain themsleves for fights and be weak and not 100%
                    drainin down for a weigh in is a gamble
                    if theyre willin to take the chance
                    its up to them

                      It's up to them? Is that the kind of attitude we should have? Fighters are punching each other in the face for a living, we should protect them at all costs.
