TRUTH ALERT: Brook currently at 178 lbs according to Hearn

[_Maxi]

He weighed 156 against Porter. The IBF has same day weigh ins where he not allowed to gain more than 10lbs from the weigh in.

Thats a lie you desperated fool. Lemieux weighed 175 fight night against GGG. The second weigh in is hours before the fight. They can keep rehydrating after that, and they do.

I wonder how true this is and how much is just promotion. Brook just doesn't look like he's 180. I would not be surprised at 170 walk around weight, but 180 is Canelo territory - thick body, thick legs.

have you seen brook's legs? they're huge.

This is Brook at 152.

There's essentially two 'Day of' weigh-ins. The IBF 'Day of' weigh-in is in the morning, so fighters are alot lighter than the one HBO usually does when the fighter arrives at the arena.

I think it's totally legit that Brook walks around at 180lbs. He's a muscular guy and there's been a number of notable WW's & JWW's who walk around that high - Hatton, Bradley, Rios come to mind, though those guys are less muscular and weight-flux in a bad way. Shawn Porter started his pro-career at MW, I've heard he typically walks around 175+.

The issue is Brook's frame. It's significantly smaller than a typical MW. And even if he looks good around 160, he's probably going to gas faster.

He was 156 on showtimes scales for the Porter fight.

[Weltschmerz]

Brook takes a big gamble regardless, risk versus reward factor in mind. Golovkin is maybe 170-172 on fight night?

[johnm is...]

I like Golovkin, but it'd be some **** if Brook actualy pulls off an upset here...

It's happening. Brook gonna beat him.

[LacedUp]

If Brook wins, Bscene goes down.

Well, if Hearn and Co. Are saying this, then it can't be labeled as some false advertising by team GGG.
