    Khan has looked better at 147. He looks soft here. I don't know what to make of the appearance. Maybe focusing more on not over doing, over training. Hopefully there's a positive there and not just a lackluster camp.

    vs Alexander:
    It's a faux weigh-in, a la the UFC; Pugmire has photos up of both guys getting officially weighed in some conference room early this morning.

    Both guys basically have most of their nutrients/fluids back in, lol

      The picture I posted was from the Alexander fight. If you're referring to his defined serratus anterior, then yeah they were more DEFINED in his Alexander bout, but that's more a perception of body fat as all boxers have developed serratus anterior from repeated punching. Overall, he looks softer to me in this weigh-in.

      Crawford weighin:


      Alexander weighin


      edit: worth noting however, I don't think this Crawford "weigh in" was actually them weighing in for the first time. I think they weighed in backstage in front of the athletic commission, bc all the fighters just came out for photos with their pants and socks on. So everybody had probably started rehydrating already.
      The obvious reasoning is that the Alexander fight was years ago when Khan was in his prime. He's 32 now. Pakistani's age pretty quickly it's still a 3rd world country...

        I've already edited that part in on the following post. Gonna check those photos now...

        yeah I can't tell too much of his muscle tone here, he just looks really gaunt. Could be the angle.


        He's definitely rehydrated from that.

          Both look like they had great camps.


          I know this fight is pointless but it should be fun. I think Crawford by stoppage around 8/9
