Comments Thread For: Seven Day Weights: Cotto 163.6, Geale 167.5

Geale is at fault... Knowing he had to lose 3 extra pounds all this time, he should have been more disciplined. Little tweaks in his diet alone could have accomplished that extra 3 lbs...

All hail cotto,champion of the 157lb weight class.

I'm confused

Catchweight bs gotta stop

Roach is at fault

I have very little doubt that he'll make it since that's essentially what he's being paid for. He'll do whatever he has to in order to make 157 because that's the only way the fight will go on. You see how Cotto's been acting? Geale better make the weight or his purse will be ****d and/or the fight might not happen.

He won't make weight but Cotto will still go on with the fight but the title will not be at stake. Seeing as it will not be a title fight, he will now be able to claim the Canelo fight as his voluntary defense and not have to make a step aside deal with Golovkin.

[Hype job]

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...

He'll drain 10lbs of water weight and rehydrate to what he weighs now doofy.

Truth be told

[JJRod]

This is Geale's own fault.

Again if the catchweight was going to be a problem he should have never agreed to it. Should have stayed firm at 160.

Now if he comes in over on fight night he should be prepared to pay a fine.

[DoktorSleepless]

Does the WBC actually pay for the plane trips, and send people to check the weight? How do they confirm it?

[pretty boy_]

Cotto should ashamed of hisself.

Geale looking like he dying of aids in that pic, smmfh.

It wouldn't surprise me if it played out like this. I don't see anything stopping Cotto/Canelo from happening. MW has become a ****in joke. GGG will hopefully get his feet wet at SMW soon.

Why is Roach at fault? These fighters are goddamn adults and should be taking responsibility for their actions. Cotto is the champion not Roach. All he needed to say is 'the fight takes place at 160' and it is done. I'm sick of giving fighter's a pass for pulling this **** and solely blaming it on Roach. I'm no fan of Freddie but when are we gonna start putting some of this back on the fighter's themselves?

[SCEN3RY]

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?

smh so this stuff has been all word of mouth? what's even the point of these 30 day weigh-ins if none of their guys is actually out there watching the fighter step on the scale...
