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

[b d w]

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.

Triple G should stay at MW. He looks the perfect size for MW, at SMW he would deffo be on the small side. I mean he isn't even a huge MW ala Chavez and at 33 his body aint going to go through any radical changes or growth spurts. Stay at 160 and rule with an iron fist I say.

Geale looking like Bale in the Machinist. The drainage is in.

Does anyone know if HBO is also televising Felix Verdejo's fight?

The week after

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

Truth be told

You sound pretty confident he makes weight friday. I'll bet all of your points that he doesn't, confirm?

Daniel Geale looks like Edward Scissorhands.

I don't think he is drained, it's just the way he looks, his facial features. If he is drained at 167.5, then that means that he needs to move up to Light Heavyweight, which he would get killed there.

Per WBC rules, at the 7 day weigh-in the fighters aren't allowed to be more the 5% of the limit (165lbs for 157lbs). I wonder what this means?

The 5% most likely pertains to the weight of the division not the contracted weight of 157. Remember a catch weight has nothing to do with the sanctioning body, it is an agreement between the two parties who will be fighting.

If you are in a sanctioned championship fight you most agree to these weigh ins, if you do not or if you miss weight the fight goes on but you will not be allowed to compete for the belt.

I hope he comes in at 160 and the fight gets canceled. Cotto can always make money doing commercials for Vagisil.

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.

the title will be on the line as long as geale makes 160, he will pay a fine if he doesnt make 157 but still be a title fight...
but if WBC wants it, they will find the way to screw GGG in order to get that cotto-canelo money...
