    That's bull**** on Davis's part. I lost a bit of respect for him. The other guy still made 130, and now will be at a bit a disadvantage.

    Tank said he had the opportunity to make weight, and just could not do it. Its not like he didnt try.

    I have seen high school wrestlers suffer the same fate, all dressed out in their plastic suits and the body just says hell no, not a ounce, or mililitre more.

    If I were Fonseca, I'll take the money and not fight. Unless they pay me 500K for each extra pound Davis went over to make it worthwhile. If not, it's a win win for Fonseca.

    That means he is fighting in a weight he doesn't belong or he is lying and didn't take training serious by not cutting weight properly.

    Bro, put down the cell phone and attend to those french fries before they burn again. You know your shift manager warned you about that.

    Wow...so talking about the only two possible scenario is now assassinating some guys character. I'm touched I have that much power.

    So please tell me which one of my two statement was incorrect.
    1) He trained as hard as he could and did everything correctly but he could not lose the weight no matter what he did then he is fighting in the wrong weight class.
    2) If this is his weight class then he should have been able to cut the weight. Which begs the question, why didn't he? It would be him and his team not training and cutting weight properly.

    How about this: The man said he tried and could not make the weight. Until you have proof of any theories, the mans word is good.

    Damn trump voters strain at a gnat and swallow a camel

    Another punk who boasts about being the future/taking over the sport but turns around and disrespects it.

    Not making weight is one of the biggest cheating move someone can do in a boxing match. I don't need no proof. The proof is he did not make weight. Also If your saying the man's word is good then by his own word "He could not make the weight. He tried" that means his ass don't belong at 130. Or if you had the opportunity but didn't cut the weight means his ass knew he had to make weight but didn't.

    Tough spot to be in. Loma at 130, Mikey at 135, and Bud at 140. He'll be quackin wherever he goes.

    Typical, trying to drain themselves to face smaller fighters.
