    In this clip, which I've timestamped, Ken Norton talks about the Ali and Frazier's weight going into the ring being different from what it was several days earlier at the weigh-in.

    He mentions them both drying out as well.

    Why would they do this?

    I can understand a fighter drying out before the weigh-in but not afterwards and certainly not in the heat and humidity in Manila.
