    Dude looked dehydrated, mid section didn't look defined, skinny, had love handles coming out despite all that. He is weak and dehydrated. Was grabbing the water bottle between the weigh in and face off.

    Maidana plan was to get weight down and energy up to sustain punching for fight. that is the strategy. he did look skinny. But a lot of fight in that dog.

    My thoughts, too - but I thought it was just I who felt that way. I hope we're correct, for Floyd's sake.

    He'll be completely fine tomorrow night. Stop the excuses.

    I will say the dumbest thing team chino did was fire ariza. That dude knows how to get athletes in shape and stronger than ever. I wished Floyd used him as his s/c coach the whole camp and not specifically for mind games.

    Oh well, great fight tomorrow night for true boxing fans

    Maidana has never looked "great" at 147 but he always brings it come fight night. Floyd looks in great shape as usual. I don't think either fighter will be handicapped in terms of being drained. The handicap is the gloves again, and at least this time, Maidana will be used to the Powerlock gloves beforehand, even though they aren't the best for his style. Bayless is generally fair as a ref and one of the better ones overall, though he can have his bad nights like everybody.

    i didnt like his look either, but he did come in 1lb under the limit so he didnt struggle with weight too much.

    he was clearly in better shape last fight. No one is expecting him to look like a body builder.

    Some fighters don't look all shredded at the weigh ins like others.

    Maidana typically doesn't look all that great at weigh ins (or even fight night sometimes, honestly). I actually thought Maidana looked in good shape compared to his usual.

    I don't think he took the weight off probably ,and still will probably weigh 160+ tonight.
