    I'm glad I got everyone's weight since most other sources didn't stick around for all the weights, or the guys looking waiting for a 2nd try (example: Shay Mobley).

    Erik Morales 135 vs David Diaz 133.75
    Juan Manuel Lopez 120.5 vs Hugo Dianzo 122
    Ulises Solis 108 vs Rodel Mayol 108
    Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. 152 vs Louis Brown 148.75
    Bernabe Concepcion 122 vs Gabriel Elizondo 121.5
    Donovan George 168 vs Shay Mobley 168
    Mercito Gesta 130 vs Carlos Madrid 132
    Michael Walker 159.5 vs Dante Craig 159.5
    Victor Polyakov 158 vs Jesse Orta 161
    Joey Abell 242 vs Mike Sheppard 216.5

    Morales looked pretty drained, but insisted that he feels great and more comfortable at 135 (he clearly didn't make it on the first try).

    I can't give names, but most folks felt that Diaz was an easy pick for tomorrow night.

    I think in some cases, like in this, present case, they are quite indicative of the fighter's preparation for the fight, their readiness, desire and motivation, especially when you interpret them in the light of the weigh-in results and the context Morales finds himself in now. This is last chance saloon for the brave warrior. I expected him to look much better and have a lower weight than he does. As such, I find it impossible to compare him to a Phoenix. Diaz is bad, but he really seems to want this, so, being a betting man, I have to put the money on Diaz.

    Why? Well if the fighter do not look 100% and normal, it's indicative
    of how physically prepared he is coming in into the fight.
