    What?

    I don't like this fight. I think Pac should retire and be with his family.

    For argument's sake, if Freddo isn't just woofing and Manny is walking around at 138 in his daily life and putting on 7lbs of muscle or so every camp (which is physically possible), his body has still been used to packing that on and performing between 143-147 for 9 years.

    But 140 is what I'd call a fair meeting point, anyway, so if Roach is calling to do it at JWW, I'm not complaining. I don't think that risks endangering Manny's performance to the extent that 135 does.

    Actually, I think Manny actually LOSES weight when he is training for a fight... the fat melts away and he becomes skinny, but super shredded. The calories is adds bulk and what keeps him from being a twig/fragile.

    If you're losing fat, starting around 138, it has to be replaced by something to get up to 143-147. Caloric surplus (clean) + training = muscle gain.

    I think you're correct that he's losing weight and shredding up, because I suspect he walks around a stone heavier than 138.

    14lbs, Manny would be a 10 stone fighter exactly at 140lbs. :lol:

    Lol. You obviously aren’t Asian. My mom is Vietnamese...that table looks delicious to me. The soup, fish and curry look like Thai dishes....maybe Filipino.

    Puerto Rican/European bud. I apologize for the disrespect to your and yours, if it's good stuff I'll take your word for it. It just kind of surprised me in my ignorance.

    I had the same reaction. I like my Italian food (not that I get to eat enough of it, being on a training diet). :lol:

    No offense at all. My wife is white so when she sees authentic Asian food she has the same reaction. Lol. A lot of that stuff is an acquired taste bro. On another note.....I love Puerto Rican rice! My sister married a Rican and his pops could make magic happen in the kitchen.

    The Loma camp really strikes me as chicken ****. They imply that there is nothing to gain from fighting an old ATG like Pacman. The irony is that history could repeat itself, since Pac did go up two weights to meet an older Oscar who went down one weight. That fight ended up transforming Pac from a guy who made peanuts to a guy who was the second best earner of his generation.

    And there is nothing for Loma to gain from fighting a old and past prime Pacman. Right...

    GRJ wins, couldn’t beat Salido.
    Walters wins, couldn’t beat Salido.
    Rigondeaux wins, couldn’t beat Salido.

    Find a new song to sing.

    Lomachenko is not afraid to fight Pac, but if he beats Pac he will get no credit, like when he beat Rigo.............all the Eastern European haters said that Lomachanko did not stand a chance against Rigo.............well.............
