When he comes in to the ring at that kind of size? He ****ing DWARFED Sergio! I hate fighters who do this. He should be at LEAST fighting at LHW.
it don't matter. people read to much into it. There are also plenty of disadvantages in doing what chavez does. Your more sluggish, can be bloated, your slower, you cut easier, you can struggle in the later rounds. Yes you get to come into the ring heavier, but imagine having to consume around 30lbs of food and drink right before a fight.. A good fighter like chavez will take advantage of a fighter doing this.
well he was as slow as a turtle. all he had going for him was the lucky shot which sergio recovered well from
I agree to some extent, but at the same time, Sergio is not a natural middle and should be fighting at 154, hes at middle because hes able to and not many fighters are going to relenquish a title they keep defending by knockout. But martinez being a guy who should be at 154 made the size difference look that much greater. You put Chavez in with true middleweights like Hopkins, Taylor, Pavlik, Miranda, ect, he wouldnt seem so big. He does gain massive weight though regardless.
