    after the weigh-in? As in weighing in more on the day of the weigh-in, rather than the day of the actual fight.

    Didn't that happen with Cosme Rivera when he fought Judah?

    I've seen it happen a few very rare times.

    If that's true, then the man must be a total gym rat because in his last fight w/ Angulo he lost 1.5 lbs after the weigh-in

    I know Mayweather unofficially stayed the same for the Judah fight, but I don't remember anyone losing weight. I'll try to check that Judah-Rivera fight.

    Mayweather claimed to be lighter against DLH than he was at the weigh in. Harris claimed to weigh 135 in the ring against Maussa but that could have been an excuse.

    Some of those fat HWs could be lighter in the ring, warming up for the fight is probably the most exercise most have had prior to their last fight so they could well sweat a few pounds off :D
