In the Falliga fight a catchweight had been agreed to when the contracts were signed, but unless I'm sadly mistaken, only days out Mundine's camp decided they'd go in heavier. That's when they made that press announcement - see previous post - and I remember hearing it on the radio a few days before the bout.
I wasn't even hinting at an excuse, I was just stating a fact. Pavlik's performance would have had to be substandard, that's all I'm saying.. At his best, he still may not have beaten the Argie, I'm not contesting the win. To slap on that much weight that the system has to establish nourishment for, takes time. In 24 hours it will cope, but there would be an imbalance that would throw things out of whack. It may only be a split second but at this level, it's what makes fighters Champions. If it's not there, it's "Out of the Limo & onto the bus"
Strangely it didn't seem to bother Angulo against Lenny Zappa. I know it meant only Lenny could actually win the title, but the guy's gone in about a kilo and a half over! ...FFS. What was going through team Angulo's mind?
To be fair team pavlik have not wheeled out any weight excuse except it's always tough to make 160lbs. I think the sudden influx of weight making experts appearing on this thread are trying to justify danny green's demise at the hands of "the man" through pavlik. Making weight is hard fighters know this, pavlik made the weight with half a pound to spare and got beaten by sergio fair and square.
Of course it is. All roads lead to the indomitable "The man". It has to. Greens the only decent fighter he ever beat. Now,,,back on your knees you raving plonker.:|
Speaking of raving Plonkers. It was funny seeing the fleeting, kamikaze return of Luds on the night of the Green v Saica fight. The guy must have been doing speed that night, he was absolutely rabid. ...hilarious stuff!
this.Pavlik is robotic.caught Taylor on the decline.i hope he goes to 168 he will be KTFO in devastating fashion.
Funny that a thread about mundine turns into a weight thread when even team pavlik are not using that excuse, obviously the likes of you know more than them atsch. Maybe Pavlik wasn't "world class" in your eyes. I don't know how people can't see this.

The weigh in was more than 24 hours before the fight atsch Pavlik has "always struggled to make 160", I guess he would perform better at a higher weight like the hopkins match? atsch :hi::hi::hi:
Good logical comeback, guess I "won" the debate. It would have been funnier to post an actual picture of gump and not a photo of yourself though atschatsch
