He weight 169.6 at 9am and only gained .4lbs in 15 hours?

GGG 170 on HBO scale, Jacobs declined.

If you believe this you gotta believe Charlo was only 165 on fight night against J Rock

Haters be salty. Jacon tried to game the system and still lost.

Wasn't it you who said Jacon cheated? Shouldn't when you cheat (going by your estimates) you should at least?

Ward against Barrera only rehydrated 1 pounds, which maybe was even less, after the ibf seconds weigh in. 185 and 186 later.

Golovkin was gonna weigh 169 or 170 according to Sanchez. Golovkin weights are 168,170,171,173 so 170 doesnt sound illogical.

Also, you dont know if he took his clothes off for the ibf second weigh in. Maybe only his shoes.

Also, his 30 days and 7 days weigh ins showed he was 164 and 162 respectively, several pounds lighter than Jacobs.

So please, Accept the defeat. Accept that Jacobs cheated according to you, and he was clearly the heavier man. The taller, the longer, and younger. But he still lost.

What does this post have to do with what he just posted?

My theory on those weights is you either believe them for everyone or no one because they are conducted the same way for all fighters. You can't run around holding onto Golovkin's fight night weights but then say they aren't believable for other fighters because it doesn't suit the narrative that they're too big for their division or whatever.

Golovkin's face looked a bit puffy in the ring. Plus his workouts as of late has a lot of flab hanging like some dehydrated deficiency. Golovkin looked big. Perhaps he had some Mexican food in NYC. We all know NYC has horrible Mexican restaurants so he probably got the runs which is why his performance was mediocre. Golovkin was most likely 174

HBO was very insecure to make it clear about the weight controversy before the Roman vs Thai guy fought. They were instigating the situation on both fighters. Imo, very unprofessional by HBO considering they didn't do it for Oscar vs PAC.. different years in revenue innit...

Fight night weights are fake news like i've always said. Take them about as serious as compubox numbers.

i guess if you believe Floyd weighed 150 on fight nights you should believe GGG weight.

Just like compubox. People only believe them when it fits their narrative.
