    sparked pretty much means Ko'd. It comes from the word 'Sparkled' which is like seeing birds float around your heads like in cartoons.

    Make the weight that he signed on to fight at is what he was "suppose" to do. He pulled this same **** before his last fight and tried to blame the scale after weighing in heavier the second time. **** his lame excuses.

    I always thought that is where it came from, seems more logical to me.

    When a fighter comes to the 2nd weigh in bigger than the first, I say **** him, because he is just a cheating *******.

    Last time he tried to say that he went in the back and tried to sweat more weight off before coming back two pounds heavier, then he tried to blame the calibration of the scale. I think he knew that bull**** excuse wasn't gonna fly again.

    He always looks like that, some people naturally have no definition at all.

    Why did he even bother going back, he wasn't trying to lose weight. It just made him look even worse.

    No, if he doesn't try he can't, and he clearly didn't put in the effort. Like I said, **** his lame excuses.

    It's not a big deal. It was only two lbs., it gained him no real advantage during the fight, and he was going to move up in his next fight anway. He obviously tried to lose the weight and couldn't do it. No reason to drain himself further the day before the fight when he plans on moving up anyway.

    You know nothing if you don't think he and his team tried eveything possible to get down to 135. It cost Rios nearly 75% of his purse. He basically fought for free. He took the fight because he wanted a pay day not to fight for free.
