Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer: Canelo will only gain 7, 8 pounds on fight night

[Robi13]

That's intersting. But eddy, if you all don't plan on stepping on the scale come fight night, please save us all the bs. THank you sir

7 or 8 pounds after the 170 second morning weigh in I guess..... Otherwise he Is taking us of ******s

Their is no second morning weigh in bro. Ibf cancelled that because of what Jacobs did when he fought ggg. He skipped the second day weigh in and ggg still did it which put him at a disadvantage... now ggg nor canelo have to do it which is fair to both

Lol, so he goes from 155 to 170+ but Eddy expects people to to believe he's going to be <170 on Saturday? Yeah, sure thing.

Agreed. They are contracted to fight on HBO PPV. HBO promotes them with faceoffs and stuff like that. HBO should just make it standard in their contracts. It's incompetent and makes it so that in a sport with weight classes, fans don't even know the weight of the fighters they are watching. Weight is what the entire sport of boxing is structured around, but you're not going to tell fans how much the people in the ring fighting weigh? It's insane.

I agree. The UFC basically has a monopoly though and doesn't weigh its fighters on fight night, for some reason

Canelo has always weighed higher on fight night yet he could not bury Cotto..GGG awesome power will KO in round 10.

Why don't the networks just force everyone to step on one last scale two to three hours before a fight? Would kill all of this speculation.

They definitely should go the ufc route. Those guys weigh in right before stepping into the octagon

[Biolink]

I guess he's talking about after the IBF weigh in?

[_original_]

No way. We'll never know so his trainer can make these type of statements.

They should step on scale at ringside right before walking up the steps.

Perfect. His counters will be hitting GGG like G's head was a speed bag.
