Hatton: "I'll be 154 lbs, vs Manny"

Like you stated above, the dehydration factor. I can't pretend to be a doctor here, but it has to do with the fluids around your brain, and even with high tech shiz goin' on, it would take more than any 24 hours to be certain that all is truly well.

Somebody more educated than me on this care to explain further?

 

This is dumb. 99% of the pros cut weight. Even Mayweather. You think they walk around weighing exactly 126, 135, 147, 154 all the time? Please.

Don't hate the player hate the game.

 

You are exactly right, and it is how the game is played these days....it's just when you see a fighter coming in 15 lbs. or more over the specified weight limit....well that does raise some eyebrows.

 

agree! although it's obviously a boob job! i still love her! who is she?!

 

Good example. I can't remember what the fluids around your brain is called, but when you severely dehydrate those fluids get cut short too. This is when it can be really dangerous from what I understand, and can cause brain damage more easily. It takes longer for those fluids to "refill" to normal levels and it's not like they can put an IV in your ear....you know?

 

114-114 Draw, but a hell of a nice battle none the less.:deal

 

LoL. We're talking about bulking from weigh in til fight night.

 

That girl is hott but mine appears to have less makeup on

And **** you too Silvermags :smoke

 

err, yes! he was 152 against malignaggi, he walks around at 165-180 so this is normal.

 

Why would you want to come into the ring weak? I call it making sure you come in at you're best.

 

Shut the hell up. Thanks for the info, but too bad I already know why they changed the weigh in and the number of rounds.
