Still blown away by the fact that Munguia and Hurd can boil themselves down to 154, does anyone have any idea what weight those two would walk around at roughly? Especially surprising when you consider the fact that Chris Eubank Jr has been fighting up at 168 (weighing roughly 172lbs on fight night which he has previously stated to be his walking around weight). Could anyone tell me whether they think it's likely that Hurd and Munguia weigh more than Eubank Jr on fight night, or do they look even larger due to the smaller opposition they face?
Eubank is not being honest he would easily be over 180 Hurd has stated he gets as high as 190lbs between fights, but after a solid camp that would come down a bit. I tend to believe that based on the eye test. Unsure of Munguia but must walk around close to 180lbs
i use to pay attention to how much a fighter rehydrates during fights and his walking around weights .Hurd in his fight against welborn rehydrated to 172 from weighing at 152 the day before . Hurd said in an interview in the boxing voice that he walks around 186,187. Munguia however i never heard him talk about his walk around weight. Also Munguia in the cook fight rehydrated to 175 from 154 and in his fight against liam smith he rehydrated to 176 . from 154 the day before . both are way bigger than jermell charlo who when he faced austin trout he weighed in at 169 fight night. so there you have it.
by the way i know these things because i screenshot when they show the fight night weigh ins when they are giving the tale of the tape. im kind of obsessed with these things.
my souces Hurd weighing at 172 https://www.boxingnews24.com/2018/12/jarrett-hurd-stops-jason-welborn-results/ Munguia rehydratiing to 176 http://www.sportingnews.com/us/boxi...championship-fight/1ayyf4rfzn0ka1euwcgqj743ri Munguia in the cook fight 175 lbs https://www.boxingnews24.com/2018/09/jaime-munguia-stops-brandon-cook-results/
if you ever want to know how much a fighter rehdrates let me know i might have a record of it man. I keep a close eyes on these things
So if Hurd has stated he walks around at 186/187 inbetween camps, yet weighs 172 in ring once rehydrated would it be fair to say the higher walking around weights he's given are due to added fat? Because although Eubank Jr says he walks around at 172 he's in the gym 24/7 And never out of shape, so he's 172 of pure muscle but maybe the same can't be said of Hurd inbetween camps?
yea its just added fat basically. once hurd gets down to the 170,s he just drains water weight the rest of the way. thats why you can rehydrate water weight but not fat during weigh in and fight night .
Never in my life have I seen a bigger looking junior middle than Mexican Mungo. The first time I saw him fight, I thought I was watching a cruiser. Looking at those weights, maybe I was.
I would say a lot of the guys that fight 154 walk around in the 180 to 190 range. I know for a fact Winky Wright was a solid 190 in between fights. A pro MMA fighter at my gym regularly cuts about 15 to 20 pounds of water weight in a couple of days before his weigh in. With that said, for every fighter that cuts weight for that extra edge in size and power you have guys like Hopkins, Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather who are usually about 5 to 10 pounds of there weight class between fights.
Personally think Hurd looks bigger but one thing is for certain, both make Canelo look like a welterweight. A blown up light welterweight even.
