    Is this true? :huh Is the kid really struggling to make weight? As 3lbs is a fair bit.. Could explain his KO loss..

    serious. the fight will still go ahead. looks like kkan will 100% move up to light welterweight then.

    I missed the weigh in. But my boss said Khan was 3lbs over. This probably explains why his punch resistance was so poor if he was killing himself to make 35. As even in his earlier fights he was around the 140 mark and alot softer. His body has matured immensely plus his still growing and obviously is finding it harder to make 35.

    Does it?

    What explains his jelly legs in the amateurs? And what about all his other fights, he was struggling for every one? It's probably more to do with the fact Roach is trying to sort out his chicken legs and they havn't quite got the equation right.

    Either way, when he steps up any gain as far as weight draining goes is going to be tempered by harder hitters.

    He probably did a Spinal Tap and had a cucumber wrapped in tin foil down there.
