Look at the fat **** it's like a light middleweight butterbean.

 

^^^lmao...

**** me...I wouldn't say I am particularly overweight but if thats fleshy then i'm ****ing obese.

 

He does look soft. How long until the fight? Moore always looks big tho.

 

1/2 days.

He just looks natural at the weight to me. Calzaghe never looked especially ripped and he was always in tip top condition.

 

Ha ha at the responses.

Obviously to us mere mortals he is completely normal.

Just strange because his last couple of fights he's been ripped, and this is probably the most important fight of his career with the winner more than likely gonna fight for the green and gold.

 

For a start he's not exactly flexing or anything, and if you look at the pictures for the macklin weigh in he looks pretty much the same except he's breathing in, plus he has a day or so to lose a bit of fluid which is probably all it is.

 

I don't see much in it. He'll lose any water before the weigh in, and he'll flex on the scales and he'll 'look' in great shape. And he'll be huge on fight night again.

 

true i know some pro who drop 6 or 7 pounds a day before, cos they get 24s til fight night after the weigh in

 

Moore usually looks much harder and cut than that. Good just be white guy syndrome. As soon as he gets under those lights and gets a sweat going he'll look cut to ****.

 

I doubt it means anything at all to be honest. He'll lose some excess water over the next day and come fight night he'll look a bit of a monster as he usually does. There's no way after working so hard to get to this point (potential eliminator) that he wouldn't be ready :good

 

He looks fine to me ,same as usual. This is'nt a body building contest you know lads,It's a fight Think he looks massive at the weight though. A lot bigger and stronger looking than Rhodes. Which could be a deciding factor.
One thigs for sure,with Kerry Kayes he's garenteed to be 100% right physiclly

 

Salford southpaw star Jamie Moore defends his European light-middleweight title against Sheffield’s former British champion Ryan Rhodes in a great-looking domestic showdown at Bolton Arena tomorrow night. The fight also doubles, quite rightly, as a WBC light-middleweight title eliminator.
Moore won the major EBU belt with a stunning three-round knockout of Italian veteran and former world champion Michele Piccirillo earlier this year and has since retained with another hot display against Ukrainian tough guy Roman Dzuman, who went out in only two rounds.
Rhodes, a fellow southpaw, has also been winning big of late, including a heavy nine-round knockout of Londoner Gary Woolcombe in London to lift the Lonsdale Belt (which he relinquished to concentrate on this) and a fine 12-round decision over South African dangerman Vincent Vuma to secure a WBC top 10 ranking (Moore’s European title means he is automatically ranked in the WBC top 10). Last time out in April, Ryan caved in Hungary’s Janos Petrovics with a big body shot.
Rhodes has won his last seven on the spin; Moore, his last 12.
These are the kind of showdowns we crave in domestic boxing: two home boys in real form and with real ambition and top-flight experience. Yes, both have endured their downs through the years but adversity has only served to make them better, smoother, more dangerous fighters. They are naturally heavy handed. Moore is 32-3 [23] altogether; Rhodes, 42-4 [28]. That's 51 knockouts combined.
Expect this to be fraught with danger for both men, in the early stages at least. Both men have been down, both men both men know how to set an opponent up for the finish, both are 'big' for the weight. Rhodes is tricky and switches stances and mixes his punches up a lot. He likes to lead with a dangerous right hand and retains sharp reflexes and counterpunching skills for a 14-year pro. His body shots could really trouble Moore.
Moore, a pro 10 years, is more relentless and probably more punishing but Rhodes, a former Wincobank product (think of Naz), won’t be making it easy for Moore to land. although weightmaking could play a real part. Rhodes is tight at the weight, for me, a former full middleweight.
Ultimately it boils down to strength and desire. The solid Moore proves hungrier and stronger down the stretch as he forces a thrilling decision.
