    Here we go again. SteRoy already says he's having trouble making weight. He's gonna be so weight drained now I give Tito a shot, which I didn't before. (If SteRoy makes weight at all.)

    He shouldn't be taking fights at lower weights anymore. Fighting below heavyweight for him was a mistake after he won the belt. Please, if he's gonna take a fight below his normal weight, he deserves to lose. That's just plain ******ed.

    Even if he doesn't make weight it's not like it's a title fight so it won't really matter.

    fighting at 170 i beleive.
    a weight he has not fought at in years.

    no wonder having trouble making weight.

    mind you trinidad is stuffing himself in oreder to get up to 170.

    I wonder if he will even be able to make 170, and if he does, will it make him extremely weak and lethargic.

    First of all what is his ''normal'' weight according to you?
    Second, it shouldn't have been a problem at all fighting below heavy IF he took enough time to go down, instead he apparently rushed it/overlooked it.

    i heard the weight was changed from 170 to 172lbs due to Roy saying he couldn't make 170lbs.
