    Josesito weigh in at 144 lbs for his 147 lbs fight 3 months ago. Now he weigh in at 153 lbs for his 154 lbs fight against Canelo Alvarez. Is he weight bloated?

    Looks extremely soft. Canelo knows what's up, that's why he's got that crooked ass smile going on.

    He looks soft at 153. Maybe he trained for strength not speed? Canelo looks really strong at the weight. Would like to see him come out aggressive and not let Lopez hang around.

    Don't mean to take a jab at you but what you just said doesn't really make sense. The faster you put on weight the more fat you'll put on.

    I originally thought Lopez would come in well below 154( training to be faster than Alvarez), it looked like he trained to be bigger(strong enough to take Alvarez' punches and make an impact with his)

    I don't see how that didn't make sense, but ok?

    wtf! Why bother gaining all that weight when a good portion is going to the belly, lol? Was anticipating him on coming in much lighter...

    He's got the frame for the weightclass... but It would take 1/2year to a year to build it up optimally. I would have stuck with minimal weight gain from the last jump up in weightclass...

    I too was expecting him to come in light and maintain his speed. But being heavier than normal is a risky move, in my opinion.

    Looked the same at Ortiz weigh in.

    It's his body type.
