Smoking Joe you really need to tell the whole story here, it might answer your own question. in May of 05 Ustinov weighed 269 for his debut. in October of 06 he weighed 286 for his fight. then 9 weeks later he weighed 231 pounds according to boxrec. then 2 months later he was back at 293. This tells anyone who BOTHERS TO CHECK FACTS! either two things. Ustinov went on an unbelievable crash diet(highly unlikely) or this is a typo(very, very likely). Does this anwer your question?
accusing someone of that without knowing a darn thing(which you don't) is irresponsible. I'll tell you the same thing I told smokin Joe. in May of 05 Ustinov weighed 269 for his debut. in October of 06 he weighed 286 for his fight. then 9 weeks later he weighed 231 pounds according to boxrec. then 2 months later he was back at 293. This tells anyone who BOTHERS TO CHECK FACTS! either two things. Ustinov went on an unbelievable crash diet(highly unlikely) or this is a typo(very, very likely). give me an s t....upid for your post about steroids and Ustinov.
As joeboxer said, almost certainly a typo, there's no way a guy can lose close to 4 stone in 9 weeks.
I think they mix up his weight with his opponent, all the other recorded weights for his opponent are in the 230's but for this fight it's 297.
