Oscar vs Forbes weigh in pics...

Steve is wearing his shoes and he still looks a good 2 inches shorter than DLH barefoot.

DLH looks to be in excellent shape, this isn't going to bode well for Forbes.

 

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FORBES!!!! :happy:happy:happy

There appears to be confusion at the scales, or perhaps whether or not the Oscar de la Hoya-Steve Forbes announced noontime weigh-in was official. With nothing reported thus far, the only news to come from the scales in Los Angeles, California was that Forbes (33-5, 9KO) made the contracted limit of 150 lb, while de la Hoya (38-5, 30KO) was ½ lb over at 150.5 lb for their fight Saturday night at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA (HBO, 10PM ET/7PM PT).

It’s standard industry practice for the official weigh-in to take place no sooner than 30 hours prior to the opening bell, which more often than not places such events at or around 5PM ET/2PM PT. It’s possible that today’s nooner at the scales was merely a show for the fans, with the official weigh-in to come at the more conventional time.

The confusion came in when de la Hoya checked in slightly over the limit. He was still just over after removing his socks, and motioned for a towel to be placed in front of him in one last effort to make weight. Before he could perform the censored version of The Full Monty, he was told by Golden Boy Promotions representatives to jump off the scale and pose for the “official” stare down.

The weight contradicts a statement made earlier in the week, when de la Hoya claimed to actually be closer to the official welterweight limit of 147 lb. No news on whether or not he will have to shed the ½ lb in order for the fight to go on as planned, though it’s highly unlikely a fight of this magnitude gets scrapped over such a small discrepancy.

More to come...

 

this fight shouldn't be happening

 

Oscar looks like he had to starve himself to make weight. His abs look wierd. Forbes looks solid. Im biased though cuz Forbes is my boy. Show everyone what u got Stevie!

 

how else are you supposed to weigh in?

 

On another boxing page, it said that DLH was gonna go naked and told people to put the towel in front of him, but then he had to pose for the staredown.

 

I don't think he looks that bad physically.

 

First Oscar De La Hoya stepped on the scales and weighed in at 150.5. 30 seconds later he stepped on the scales again without his trunks but instead of telling the weight, Michael Buffer announced that Marco Antonio Barrera is on the stage... So Oscar might've weighed-in at the 2nd try 30 seconds later...
