    He's still going to starch Williams.

    Relax everybody.

    does anyone have any pictures or anything?

    He could have just ate and been wearing all of his clothes. That is like 5 pounds, so he could be like 170 first thing in the morning with no clothes and not even trying to dehydrate. So then you are only talking 13 pounds over 30 days out and he could be able to do that easy by fight night.

    He could just be trying to psych williams out

    prolly 165 or so

    but as a pro fighter he does have the ability to shed 19 lbs in 30 days


    People shed 20 lbs in like 8 days


    it aint impossible for him to lose 19 lbs in 30 days and not be drained

    The check weigh-in is treated like the official weigh-in, no difference. I can assure you he would not be wearing all his clothes or playing any mind games.

    It's basically to check where the fighter is at, for his health and is taken seriously.

    It's not that a fighter can't get rid off 20lbs in 30 days. The question is: what the hell Sergio Martinez is doing at 176lbs 3 weeks into training camp?

    We're only talking about 19 lbs. Some fighters do that in a few days before the fight and put it back on within 24 hours.

    Calm the **** down. lol

    he is unorthodox, always has been. at his age he knows his body. he knows what he can and cannot do.

    expect him to beat williams, then margo and then hopefully get a mega fight vs pac/floyd

    Yup, and Briggs looked really ripped 2 weeks before his last fight... and Pacquiao is looking out of shape.

    However, in the real world Briggs lost his fight, Martinez and Williams will be another close fight and Pacquiao will win.
