Pacman was not a huge underdog in this fight. I should know because i bet $1,500 on DLH to win. But anyways, DLH was at about -165. Hardly a "huge" favorite.
Just because you can get down to a certain weight comfortably does not mean your body is going to react well to it. I think that was the case with DLH. He had no trouble losing the weight but it wasn't healthy for him.
fukkin aye.....the weight has nothing at all to do with this....its pretty irrelevant....... the skill, athletic ability, speed, just everything is so damn lopsided its not even funny......Margo CANNOT keep up with Pac......someone mentioned it will look just like Pac/DLH........BINGO!!!
What was Cotto's fight night weight against Pac? Probably at least 155lbs Oscar, we know what happened. He waited until after the HBO unofficial weigh-in before rehydrating himself fully. He thought Pac was an easy win, and didn't want to make it look like he had a huge advantage for the audience. That's the reason Oscar still had fresh IV marks on his arm right before the fight started. He rehydrated the weight at the last second, so the audience would not see his real ring weight and would be duped into thinking Oscar and Pac were the same size..
Again, not Pacquiao's problem when ODLH ****ed up with his theory. He had the option to fight Margarito but instead he fought Pacquiao who he thought was an easy fight. ODLH should have fought Margarito instead.
Take that back PH|LLA, you cannot be serious. You're telling us DLH dehydrated on thursday, all morning friday......weighed in the afternoon of friday, and then did'nt eat or drink water till an hour or so before the fight the next day on Saturday???? Are you telling us that an hour before the fight DLH is drinking pediolytes and hyrdrating using an IV. Are you also going to tell us that DLH went from weighing 147 lbs, to nearly 160 lbs in an hours time? Your post makes absolutely zero sense. If its true what Freddie Roach said that DLH had fresh IV marks on him, his body must have shut down from the task of having to make the 147 lbs limit. He must have gone overboard and over did what he was doing to drop the last few lbs, that he got sick, threw up, got diharrea, and what have you, that as the result of his sickness weighed in under the 147 lbs limit. The only way to explain DLH only having weighed 2 lbs over the 145 lbs he weighed officially was that DLH's body shut down and was'nt taking the fluids that he needed. DLH had been a fighter that had stepped up into the ring at 160 lbs for nearly 10 years, and all of a sudden he's stepping into fight Manny Pacquiao weighing only 147 lbs.
I call Pacquiao the catchweight *****. If he is already at this weight whats the problem with him fighting a the 154 limit?? Crooked ****ers.
Surely the PED Pac can put on a few more pounds. Slowly losing respect for the over celebrated fighter.
