„His weight is not an issue“, adds the coach. „People should judge Solis from his performance in the ring. See how fast he is, see how he moves in the ring. Who cares about the scale and five pounds more or less as long as the fighter knows how to use his body to wear down his opponents?“
Uh, maybe because extra fat, since it contains a huge amount of blood vessels, taxes a fighter's heart and makes it harder to stay active in the latter rounds. Does this coach actually get paid?
So does anyone actually know how he looked at the weigh-in? I sure hope he's in shape. I'm rather looking forward to this fight. Solis is still a real contender, and Airich isn't exactly a bum.
