    Weight was extremely improtant to Void, so important that he cheated. Fans who bought such a fight, well, I don't understand.

    They warm up before the fight, which is normal in every athlete because you don't wnat your muscles to be too tight or tense. But to suggest that he is still doing aerobics or heavy exercises hours before tha fight is just plain ignorant.

    Fact is athletes drink fluids prior to any event, even swimmeres who are already in the water. This protects them from dehydration occurring during excessive sweating and the heat of the lighting. Especially with boxers because although venues are airconditioned, the action in boxing as well as all the glare and heat of spotlight would dehydrate someone.

    Against an overmatched in terms of size fighter like JMM, although Mayweather does not overpower you with his weight , the difference in puinch resistance is different. A bloated 135 pounder would probably have a power sligtly stronger than those in the 135 but would not bother a 147 fighter. Plus the fact that bulking up slows a fighter tremendously.

    too fast and slick because marquez ballooned up 10lbs which slowed him and gassed him. when we talk about weight advantage, this is what most people are saying.

    Marquez is a natural featherweight. Weight too much for him, but Void knew he could pull the wool over the fan's eyes, well, at least enough of them. Will Void fight a flyweight next?

    Uhh, fight night weights moron. He was obviously drinking water, maybe had a meal before the weigh in because he knew he was going to come in so much under the weight.

    Why did Void think he had to cheat?

    from the very beginning, all odds are stacked against marquez, and for floyd to come in abaove the already unfair contracted weight limit is just a pure bitchmove on his part. Him winning by a shut-out is no surprise at all. Marquez at that weight is flat-footed, slow, and powerless. anyone can look good against a fighter who poses no threat at all

    true. if it was pac who came in 1 pound over the contracted limit, floydettes would pounce on him like cougars on heat.

    but if it is pbf, they curiously try to be silent on this. it was really bitchy on the part of pbf. ****, the man has the best skills in his generation.

    why the hell does he need to do that in the first place.
