So looks like the 30 day weight was a lie....or he shot up in weight.
Either or, he's more than 10 pounds off a week away... looks like it's time to train for the weight
-_-

Damn he's gonna be a shell of himself come Saturday

Yea, no way he lost all that weight for a 30 day weigh in to explod back up

WTF WBC...

I've said this before about these WBC early weigh-ins: you don't know if the fighters are cutting weight for them as they do for the real weigh-in or if they just walk on the scale.

I think for the 30 day weigh-in, Geale cut the water weight like he would for the main weigh-in and for this one he just walked on the scale. I'm actually happy to see he's this high b/c if he was lower I'd be worried about him being seriously drained like Dawson vs Ward.

I imagine that these weights will probably be within a pound or two of what they will be on fight night.

Promoter Gary Shaw clarified to BoxingScene.com that Geale's 30-day weight, released by the WBC as 158, was inaccurate. He said 'no chance' he was 158-pounds 30 days ago.

[PETUFF]

Some ***** said Geale was 157 30 days ago?

Yea, Matt said Geale did an interview earlier saying there was no way that was true... but the WBC just rolled with that as an official weight.... they're cool with that?
