Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin 167.8, Kell Brook 168 - IBF's Fight Day Weighin

What an idiot. Brook thinks putting on that much weight is going to help him, just going to make him a bigger, slower target for GGG. This isn't going past 4 unless GGG decides to carry him a bit longer.

Lol golovkin is trying real hard to make it seem like he doesn't struggle with weight. He'll be 175 in the ring tonight.

First off this is normal for Golovkin. His IBF morning weigh-in vs Lemieux was 168.6lbs.

Second off, there's zero sign he's struggling with his weight b/c everything's the same as it's always been. The majority of his fights he weighs in at 159.0lbs. Vs Murray in Monaco he was 158.9lbs, that's 0.1lbs heavier than he was for Brook.

As far as how he looks flat - biorhythm/time change. The weigh-in was 1pm UK time which is 5am Los Angeles time. His body is normally asleep then.

all this. he flew in too late me thinks, so he looked a bit off. Brook rehydrated more than expected.

Just to confirm, Golovkin weighs 166 30 days out, 163 7 days out, comes in under 159 for official weigh in, rehydrate to one of his lowest weights in years, but he's struggling with weight?

Man you guys are some dumb ass bunch. This garbage isn't even the usual bull**** theory you idiots throw out there, this is factually incorrect based on the weights.

In comparison, Jacobs & Mora also had day of/morning weigh-ins:

Up for #WBA Second Day weigh in.
Jacobs 170lbs. Yours Truly 168lbs

Golovkin was 167 one month ago, remember? I don't think it's the weight, rather it's about the age -- those Russians have the bad habit to age overnight (it's something in their genes).

It's good thing Golovkin isn't Russian then.

Well played, sir.

GGG is 75% Russian (and he has a North Korean grandmother).

How can you say that this is his lowest rehydration weight in years?When all they have available is an early morning check in. I would be shocked if he isn't around the 177-180 range come fight time.

He does not cut 20-22 pounds. He'll probably be around 170 as usual
