Oscar Weighing 145 Pounds for His Last Fight?

Because. .......I trying to keep things in their proper perspectives. DLH wasn't at his best....but that version was still a top fighter who shut down a very good fighter in Forbes and had a split decision against a prime Floyd who was moving up in weight.

DLH went into the lions den more times than any other fighter in the last 30 years. He won and lost but he took on everyone. Eventually stepping up that much, that often will produce losses and sometimes devastating ones. I dont hold it against him one bit. I admire him for making all these fights against the best of the best. No one else did it as frequently as Oscar.

You don't need to bite, I'm not a troll.

The reported penalty clause was for $3M for every pound over 147 at the day of the weigh in. He had to weigh in at a maximum weight of 147.

As long as he did that, then he could rehydrate to whatever the **** he wanted.

There wasn't a rehydration clause, that would be ****ing insane!

He weighed in at 145 and everyone was happy.

If he'd have weighed in at 146 or 147 everyone would have been happy.

Are you saying that had he weighed 148 or above on fight night, Roach etc would have gone mad?

Freddie Roach said "At 154, he normally rehydrates to 10 pounds, but with him having to go down to 147, it'll probably be more. We're looking at between 10-15 pounds."

That's what Freddie said. They expected his fight night weight to be between 157-162. But Freddie wasn't that concerned, because he knew Oscar was on the slide. He said "I don't think that he can pull the trigger anymore"

So they may have been a penalty clause, but it was for the official weigh in the day before the fight, it wasn't a rehydration clause.

Nobody is telling me that if Oscar had have weighed in at 149 on fight night, he'd have had to have paid $6M.

He could have rehydrated to whatever he wanted to, as long as he'd weighed in at a maximum of 147 at the weigh in.

My only argument here, is that he was ill. His body was depleted, and it wasn't natural for him to only gain 2 more pounds.

You missed my point completely. There was no rehydration clause. What is clear is that Oscar's official weight was bogus. Pac is on the record stating that he was expecting to register ~146' at the weigh-in. He weighed 145.5' before and after the weigh-in using two different scales. This means Oscar weighed ~148.5' and would've had to pay a $6M penalty. Not wanting to pay that huge sum, DLH opted not to reydrate and continued to boil off in order to come in very light for the unofficial HBO weight. Why would Oscar strip down for the unofficial weight if he wasn't explicitly trying to register as low a weight as possible? He was clearly trying to throw off suspicion for tampering with the scales at the weigh-in. Food and fluids after a normal weigh-in plus any clothing/shoes would've added far more than 2lbs, no matter what DLH's condition may have been. The IV's were used for emergency hydration after the unofficial weight was taken.

LOL, this issue didn't make sense before the Oscar and Pac fight actually happened

I'd bet you'd be laughing at someone opening up this talk before and you'd just say 'Pac is no Forbes, he's a midget with no defense. Oscar will kill him in the ring' :dead

Read my post again and you'll find your answer for how and why DLH was able to make the 147 pound limit and was able to experience only putting on a few pounds after weigh in. You seem like an intelligent guy yourself so I have faith you'll have no problems finding it.

Because he got to the weight early?

He looked in great shape before he fought Floyd, before he went into camp. But he still rehydrated 10 pounds.

Are you saying that you weren't surprised to hear that he only gained 2 pounds?

Are you telling me that he didn't look gaunt, and he looked healthy?

Your post doesn't make sense to me mate.

Why is it clear that his weight was bogus?

Manny says he expected to weigh 146, yet weighed 145.5?

That's a half pound difference. How was Oscar's weight 148.5?

Oscar would have got weighed regularly before the weigh in on different scales. His weight was 145.

You're telling me the scales were tampered with?
