At 5'11" each, both Barthelemy and Easter Jr. should be @ 140! It will be interesting to see 5'7" Loma fight the winner!

Wow I didn't know he was that tall. I am 5'9 200lb. They are some skinny dudes.

It can't be healthy! Especially Barthelemy who is 32!

They are skinny, but they also drain down to fight at those weights. When Barthelemy stops fighting, he’ll probably go up to around 180 and still look fairly fit.

Now we both know that's not healthy at all. He needs to stop bs and just fight at 147.

Now if i were to fight in a professional boxing match I would cut down to maybe 168-160. That's around 40-35 lbs from my lazy weight. You telling me he's really walking around at 180lb and cutting close to 55lb?? He could die in that ring.

It isnt the average weight for his height and weight plus age is 185-197lb

I would slightly favor Easter in this one. I don't see too much action in this one.

No, what I think he probably walks around at is about 160, maybe less. I’m saying he might go 180 (or more) when his fighting days are over. Barthelemy, although somewhat tall, appears to have a thin frame. Like many fighters, he tries to take advantage of his ability to get down to such a light weight for a man his height.

I gotcha.
