Comments Thread For: Alberto Machado Takes Full Aim at Starting His Lightweight Run

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former world champion Alberto "El Explosivo" Machado will officially leave behind the super featherweight division with a view to campaigning at 135 pounds early next year. Machado made the decision after falling by knockout at the hands of California's Andrew Cancio this past June. The Puerto Rican tried unsuccessfully to recover the belt of the World Boxing Association (WBA). Marchado had been knocked out in the first bout as well.

I don't know if it was the weight loss, but he folded like a lawn chair.

Alberto Machado situation and problem

Alberto Machado need defense, increase his conditioning and stamina as a top priority. He need heart when he face adversity again or we are going to behold the same results we saw against Cancio. Let's see how he fare in the lightweight division.

Game over for Machado. He has peaked and he will only be good as formidable opposition for the up and coming young kats of the division.

Machado wasn't much to begin with, draining himself to make weight took a toll on him physically and mentally,he is nothing but a stepping stone from here on out......

How can you make a run if you're always on a knee?

Spence is the next to fall due to weight lost without IV sayonara.

I was at his fight against Corrales and he looked like another Puerto Rican star. He has looked terrible in both Cancio fights. Doesn't even look like the same guy. His move up will tell whether it was a weight issue or not!

Machado vs Verdejo

Yes. Local boy rivalry should do bits for viewership numbers.
