the flu??? Dunno about you guys but anytime ive had the flu my weight has drained alot! Makes no sense, I understand fighters go through routine weight checks 3 days out from the fight, surely they shoulda knew then that he was never gonna make it

Duran flew to 190lbs in between 147 bouts and then 154 to 160. Hell he it 175lbs in between 135 bouts!
The difference is that when Duran hit the gym he was a maniac the kids today don't hit it hard like the generations past. It wasn't healthy but he made weight.

"he just needs a little more discipline"

Who said Freddie Roach can't do understatement?

Panchito Bojado comes to mind. That's the same thing that happened when he lost to Rubio.

When you get the flu you lay in bed all day and drink lots of fluids to clear your system out, you certainly don't lose weight and you can't be in the gym working out either.
