    I know the General aint the best place, but after reading that Chavez will NOT have his gloves weighed again is utter bull****.

    How on earth can he get away with this considering he did it in the Andy Lee fight too?

    It's got dodgy written all over it, i also think Chavez is gonna' come in over the 160lbs mark too

    Where the hell does it say that? DiBella would go absolute nuts if they didn't weight Jr's gloves probably. Can't see it happening.

    Btw, Roach claims Jr is already weighing around 166.

    He certainly makes it difficult for people to like him.

    I really hope that Sergio puts a BEATING on this kid. It's the least he deserves.

    There's a thread in the General with Di Bella kicking off on a video about the gloves and some dinner bet Jose has had about Chavez winning

    DiBella won't let them get away with murder like so many others will.

    That's what i thought, Di Bella has a big mouth so i didn't think they'd try with the bull**** tactics but apparently they have

    DiBella won't allow this.

    I can't see them getting away with the gloves thing. All Sergio has to do is kick up a big fuss and refuse to fight until the gloves are weighed.

    Btw, Martinez was wearing a River Plate top at the press conference today :yep

    Hopefully Martinez kick's up a fuss until they are weighed.

    Di Bella was also kicking off saying the ring better be 20x20 or the fight is off, and he'll measure it himself if he has to

    Looking at that picture, Chavez is looking quite thin compared to the 24/7's

    I'm sure I've read before that in Nevada all rings have to be 20x20. Nothing the promoters can do about it. This came with one of Pac's fight (I think) where the opponent was complaining that Top Rank were going to make it a smaller ring. Someone at the NSAC cleared things up and said their rules was all rings have to be 20x20.

    I'd still measure it myself though, your asking to be bent over a barrel trusting Bob Arum
