    I saw he was 2 pounds over the limit and had only 2 hours (!) to get below it?

    He was over by 0.4 pounds. That equals 6.4 ounces.
    16 x 0.4= 6.4

    You all know there are 16 ounces in a pound right?

    Not much weight to lose but still aggravating and it brings up alot of questions.

    If it was 2 pounds then I would change my pick to Froch.

    He weighed in at 168.4, 4 oz over. He then lost that and weighed back in at 167.5, ½ a pound under.

    Again, .4 pounds is not 4 ounces.
    For you and I is easy to lose them. For a boxer who is already dry could mean 30 o 40 minutes jogging wearing a sweat suit or 1 hour in a sauna. Not all that easy. But he made it. Hopefully he will rehydrate good for tonight

    You gotta love the logic of imperial units where nothing fits together.
