Impressions of a photographer who saw Canelo's weigh gain after the weigh in

[Scipio2009]

I have a friend who works in the commission (wont mention his name for obvious reasons) and he told me Canelo was 193.5 the night of the Khan fight and 197.4 the night of the Cotto fight.

^^^bull****

"Like when Vegeta first witnessed Zarbon's transformation." For any DBZ fan this was the funniest **** you'll read all week.

Looool that reference had me in stiches.

[soul_survivor]

I think he might be cutting 20 pounds. 26 seems unreasonable to me. The point the guy is making is that he had never seen such transformation.

why is 6 more lb unreasonable a year later?

But yeah, I understand the point. He is a weight bully. Puts on too much. Like I said, there needs to be a weigh in limit.

I honestly think the best idea is a weigh in on the morning of the fight, so if the main event is 10 or 11 at night, have it 12 hours earlier. Then they can only way a max of 5lb over that limit by fight time (can have a weigh in an hour before).

If you actually read the post, rather than simply harp about the headline, you wouldn't have just played yourself.

WTF do you talk about? get inside that thread and see how I made him look silly he disappeared from it.

I don't think Canelo is 180 on fight night--most likely between 170-175.

But my question is, why aren't weigh in's mandatory on fight night? And when they're done, why can't they use good digital scales instead of crappy bathroom scales? I'd be very interested to see what Chavez Jr. weighs.

If Canelo fights GGG, the IBF won't be up for it because of the second day weigh in

Love the DBZ comment

I haven't watched anything DBZ in years but Vegeta's voice seemed weird in that, Australian dub?? Lol

I'm going to assume this thread is some GGG fanboy propaganda.

Actually it comes from a guy who works for Golden boy...

The sad part is I like Canelo and all the GB fighters I've had the honor of shooting because I work production for Golden Boy. Canelo fans are triggered for no reason. They see the difference on the tube , but they werent physically there sizing the man up in the locker room. The guy is huge , and whatever I read in boxing news regarding his weight I believe it.

Lol some of these guys make me laugh, 15 pounds of water weight is nothing for an under thirty fighter. many boxers fights cut weight when they start camp they change the diet to first try and lose mass, usually two days before weigh in they hit the sauna and drain mass amounts of water you would be amazed how much water weight some people can lose in a day before weigh in, fighters will lie down wrapped in warm wet towels the entire morning to stay warm, and drink pedialyte post weigh in and eat they will put in any where from 15 to 30 lbs

Plenty Mexicans boxers are notorious mass weight advantage cutters.

The guy who did Vegetas voice was changed, that is like the original.


Zarbon's Australian accent doe I actually forgot he had one

I don't believe in weight bullies. Of you can make the weight you can make the weight.

I disagree whole heartily, when someone is draining themselves so bad to have a big advantage over a guy who makes the weight comfortably it makes a mockery of that division it becomes a case of good big man beating a good little man this is why imho that we need to scrap super divisions.
Guys like Broner and Ward took advantage of that I mean look at them now when they fight at their NATURAL weight limit they look like trash they can't throw about their weight as much and they're not doing as well as they have been doing.

It's a whole different ball game when you're fighting at the same weight as your opponent is hence why Ward has looked absolutely average at 175lbs I said it before he even moved to light heavy, he is overrated!
You all overrated Broner the same way too, expecting him to be the heir to the Floyd Mayweather throne well look how that turned out!!
