If Chavez cut weight the right way and gradually, he's in good shape. And for those people saying it's the same as Dawson, the sparring partner that didn't get paid from his camp said that Chad was in the sauna more than training. That wasn't the case with Chavez, it's more having to do with his diet. He's a fat kid at heart.
especially with ariza, roach and sr. in his corner. by the way, jr. weighed-in at 159 against lee. the one pound means nothing and everyone here that knows anything about boxing knows this.
there is a youtube video of oscars weight onn fight night. freddie said he actually saw dlh on an iv drip before the fight.
Jack ive read you before and im confounded that the 158 is such a problem for you. jr. weighed 159 for lee and he went "incredible hulk" on him. if roach, ariza and sr. wanted jr. to cmoe in at 160 that wouldnt have been a problem. he just wouldnt have taken a **** or drank fluids. this has more to do with conditioning than anything else. he was 167 a week ago so a bad cut is not the case here.
no. im going to get drunk here in mexico with my mexicana amiga and simply enjoy the fight. and i am fairly positive that this is going to be a great fight.
i expected him weighing 160 exactly on the first try. surprised alot of people coming in 2 pounds less than the maximum required. there were even threads predicting chavez would do a broner and floyd.
:good Was only curious..... Indeed this is one hell of a fight! Props to everybody involved for putting this one together. I'm a sucker for hype and enjoy "the events" quite a bit, this one is awesome. Have a good time.
