I have been very vocal about insisting fight night weights are rigged. This weekend we have witnessed 2 of the most disgusting examples of fight night weights being used to push an agenda. How the f can Sadam Ali only weigh 1lbs less than Munguia? It is not possible yet HBO have tried to push this. For what reason I don't know but I can assume they wanted to minimise the disgusting weight difference between the two fighters. This is pretty much plugging that Jaime was in with a bloke supposedly his own size. I know!!!! FAKE NEWS. It is also possible they wanted Munguia to weigh in the vicinity of GGG to portray their upcoming fight as evenly matched!!! The other shameless example Linares 154 Loma 138??? R U Serious??? Why even attempt to do this one, is there even 1 person who watched the fight who believed that. Ffs this is reminding of Pro wrestling billed heights/weights to make big blokes look even more monstrous. This is getting comical!!! Thoughts?
I believed Linares was 154lbs, he looked a loooooot bigger than he did at the weigh in and a lot bigger than Loma.
I went from 96kg to 86kg and I barely look any different hehhh, I just store my fat roundly over my body rather than specific areas. It’s totally possible. Thicker bones, denser muscles, who knows!!
If we lined you up in your undies next to your previous self I am sure there would be a noticeable difference 16lbs is no joke, Loma was not that much smaller. No way did he only put on 3lbs
Honestly I think he is 175+, 180+ might be a small exaggeration 175+ is more than big enough for 168, and the fact is he has a strict diet to make 160 He could easily put on more size, that's unquestionable.
Pretty sure hes came in at 174 for a fight so that's reasonable. I think Golovkin is 172-174 fight night. There's been bigger MWs who haven't moved up. As for Loma vs Linares I think Linares is spot on while I could see Loma being 140-142. 138 is believable as he hasn't really gotten any thicker than he was at 130 despite what the well timed photos on the leadup would have people believe but its safe to assume he put on a pound or two.
