Does anybody have the real reasons behind DLH's weight issues against Pac ??

His usual weight 154 was where he looked good he had to cut 7 and go to a weight he had not been at in years then the only gained 2 pounds over nite he obviously was not healthy or properly rehydrated

 

147 was the contracted weight because Manny was scared to fight him at 154, which is a lot lower than his natural weight class.

DLH is a professional so he made the weight even if it mean coming in seriously dehydrated.

If they fought a at 154 I think DLH would have taken it and so does Manny thats why he insisted on a lower weight class so he could have an advantage of fighting someone who should be in hospital bed rather than fighting in a ring.

 

If they fought at 154, what honor does a big guy get when he bullies a little guy? You're right he's a professional. He's not like Floyd.

 

I read that he was eating a very low carb diet. He was probably sporting low glycogen reserves. You need glycogen (built mostly by carbs) for explosive power. I think when roach heard this he immediately pointed it out and stated this is the worst thing you can do nutritionally for a boxer.

This in addition to hydration and rapid weight loss issues.
