Comments Thread For: Smith's Trainer: If Canelo Fails To Make Weight - Fight is Off!

He may make 154, but he will be a drained middleweight simply by the fact that his last 5 fights were at 155 which is obviously not junior middleweight and he probably struggled to make his own catchweight of 155.

The reason the VADA testing was called of is GBP could not take a chance on Canelo not making weight, it would be the straw that broke the camels back after running down to 54 saying Canelo is not a 60 fighter. He will make weight with help from the drugs, period.

So would that mean the World would be blessed with a Monroe/Rosado PPV

Imagine the backlash if he does miss weight.

I reckon the fight would still go on if Canelo is over by very small amount.
I think Gallagher is just sending out a little reminder that he expects things to be kept professional.

Candelita won't make weight and Smith will accept the extra cash to fight.

Lol this is a Texas rules fight. Remember when Chavez Jr skipped out on his post fight drug test after the Andy Lee fight? Emanuel Steward was mighty steamed. I would check those scales. As far as I'm concerned, the results for this fight have already been paid for.

It would be interesting to hear what excuse Canelo's team would come out with if he failed to make weight.

He looked drained as shit at the weigh in for the Cotto fight and that was at 155.

He'll be fine. There's no testing!

Simple truth ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I kind of like this. I remember when AB would constantly miss making weight and how much crap I thought it was.

Mexicans are always cheating with the weight. It's about time fighters told them to go and smoke and called the fights off. Only then will something be done about it. Going through with the fight allows them to continue this farce.
