    At the 2nd weigh-in this morning. Weight limit was 178 lbs (IBF rule).

    Isn't Johnson kinda light? :think

    Apparently Bute will be around 184 lbs in the ring tonight.

    I agree about Johnsons weight, I don't get why he cuts down that extra bit.

    Most Bute's opponents came lighter at the second weight in.

    He should've put a little more muscle on, if he had 1 pound to spare.(1st weight in)

    Coming up at 173,7 might mean that Johnson wasn't as drained as Bute was.... and might have extra energy making the weight easier.

    He looks to have more muscle then he did against Froch.
    He is seriously ripped.

    He looked way worse against Allan Green.

    No worries. Before the fight, Johnson will take a big ole swig of Geritol.

    :lol:

    I was surprised at Johnson's weight today. I wasn't expecting him to be lighter than the LHW limit, a weight where he fought at for almost a decade. Bute being way bigger today was also unexpected for me. I thought for once that Bute wouldn't have a size advantage over his opponent. Though Johnson is probably the stronger of the 2.
