    Apparently he's 167.7 now.

    I don't understand it though. He seems to be comfortably inside the SMW limit at most times, even for non-title fights and stuff. He was 166½ in his last fight against Findley.

    Something must be wrong, either his body has outgrown the weight at completely the wrong time and he's really struggling to get down now, or he's not trained properly.

    It's NOT 4 oz it is 0.4 oz which is LESS than half an ounce. There is quite a difference. It's actually only 1/10th of 4 ounces. Quite a minuscule amount.

    I'm sure he's fine. This is a pretty common occurrence at weigh-ins. It's most likely due to differences between the unofficial scale the camp uses and the official scale. It's guaranteed that they would have weighed in before they walked out and with such a small amount to lose they wouldn't have gone out had they known it would have been over.

    So why is everybody else saying it's 4 oz? If it IS 0.4oz, then all he has to do is spit in a cup a couple of times, but everybody else is saying it's 4 oz.

    Can anybody confirm whether its 4oz or 0.4oz?
    There seems to be a lot of confusion in this thread.
    When I watched the weigh-in video the guy said he was 4oz over not 0.4.

    I don't even think a scale of that size would measure in tenths of an ounce.
