He is eating a heavy diet of protein,eating six times a day every 3 hrs,to maintain weight,speed and strength. hes probably been told to make sure to weight at least 150 in order to make things not to look worse.It will be embarrassing to see josesito below 150 the day before the fight.
i say as long as Lopez gains the weight right and is at a comfortable weight who cares if he is 150 if he is comfortable at 150 i think he will be alright, some guys just seemed to gain the weight wrong like Winky for Hopkins Lopez will be in great shape and hopefully will bring it like he did vs Ortiz
That would be disgraceful, if true. He should be allowed to weigh whatever he feels best at. His stamina, movement and speed will be key. He shouldn't be forced to carry any excess weight. But really, I get the sense they're choosing to do this. They probably feel, with Alvarez's significant weight and size advatange, they need to put on some weight to compete and not be bullied around if and when the fight takes place at close quarters.
ok, then expect next canelo vs archie solis...there will be drama behind it and solis will definitely be under 154
Now that's the fight I want to see. Lopez needs to go down to 140 and dominate or try his luck at 147 which would also be a good weight for him. He is a big dude so maybe 140 is too much to cut now.
