IDK why people make big hoopla about fighters missing the fight weighin, it could be a numerous reasons why but they usually have 2 hours to make it so as long as they make it, its all good.

Sounds like he was way over earlier today and may be seriously drained to get down to 140. Could be dangerous for him in there, think he needs to move to 147 after this regardless of result

> Maurice Hooker was approximately five pounds overweight two hours ago for his scheduled title defense against Mikkel LesPierre. He’s stepping on the scale soon in Verona, N.Y., for fight on DAZN

He is built like Diego Corrales with real thin frame.. I doubt he can be effective at 147.
