    What's happening then, the fight still going ahead? 174 is a bit ridiculous

    As far as I know just stripped of the title and that's that. Couple of pounds you could maybe understand, but 6 is ridiculous.

    Probably a lack of motivation. Up until last week Rocky never even had an opponent.

    he had no intension of making the weigh by the look of it, he doesn't care for the commonwealth belt and is giving himself the advantage against a old man before as he puts it moving on to bigger things.

    my first thoughts were 'he has been on the gear' when i seen him on scales with puffy nips, a clear sign.

    then i see interview with Hearn who said he has been bulking up!!

    He just started lifting steel last year. They made a big deal about it on Sky.

    perhaps they should give him some slim fast while he is training then because coming in that heavy is a pretty poor show.in fact what is the point of having weight divisions if you can come in at the weight above and still fight.?

    Disgrace, he should have a large portion of his purse withdrawn, clearly didn't bother training properly, Whatever he does tomorrow the win is meaningless 6lb over the limit didn't even try to make weight, whats the point of having weight classes in boxing if fighters are just going to abuse them, 3 examples in recent times Salido, Canelo and now Fielding it's becoming a joke.

    in a weird way its probably better a fighter weighing in naturally 6 lb over than boiling down,making weight,then weighing 20lb more on fight night!!
