    He looked quite fit and healthy at the weigh in he'll make 140.

    I don't think that's a good thing for him.

    You'll never know. Guzman had been making weights in featherweight/superferweights but he failed to make weight in the lightweight against Campbell, remember? Also, Campbell when he fought Funeka.

    It comes from a Pac fan so it must be true. I mean what benefit would he get by making this up? It wil only increase the odds to Pacs favor making it less yielding to bet on him.

    Explain how being 2lbs under the weight limit 24 hours before the weigh in is advantageous?

    but you can make a wild guess on the current weight of hatton in the last press conference, he really looks bigger than manny...if only he can use that size(wider) into his advantage

    Hatto probably is 141 at the moment but he always gets down in weight.

    Hatton will be bang on at 140. And in the ring he'll be 147,148,150???

    All the reports prior to this were that Ricky was well ahead of schedule. Funny how those Pinoy sources have inside information the rest of the world just cant get access to

    Very true he also look fitter than he usually does before a weigh in. Also this about him running around sunset park its not earth shattering news as he says on his fight diary on the sky sports news website.

    welterweight boxers normally shed a little less than 2 pounds in their final day. note that a morning jog shed 1.5 pounds. note also that boxers really starve themselves in the day of the weigh in.

    it's been normal that a fighter shed .5 pounds a day in the final week. that's why you normally see fighters weighing 3-4 pounds over the limit in the mandatory weigh in by the wbc a week before the fight

    Not a chance he will be over.

    In the interviews on Sky he looked in really good shape.

    This **** is getting old. He has had to make 140 more than thirty times..... I don't recall him ever failing.
