    Girls like tall guys it's true but they do not gauge height well, they think anyone over 5'8 is a 6 footer :lol:

    True. It's very difficult to tell on TV without a direct reference and both objects on the same plane...

    They probably are off for some fighters. Just like with other sports, particularly the NBA

    Just realized that Herrera is listed at 71.5 inch reach.


    Showtime listed him as 68 against Danny Garcia. I don't see how you could differ 3.5 inches on a measure... Perhaps the 71.5 was a "self measurement"?
