I can't keep up. Is he weight drained or isn't he? Has he had to bust his ass to make weight? School me.
he had to bust his ass to make weight like every other fighter out there save Pacquiao If Margo doen't wanna bust his ass to make weight he'll have to move up to 160
He's been making 147 almost his whole career, I got not ****ing clue why making 150 is supposed to harder. Sounds like a crock of **** to me
In understand your reasoning, but all you got to do is look at Margarito at the Weigh in & you can see he has struggled to make 150lbs. He will not box at Welter again, that's for sure! He looked Concave when weighing in & he started to Rehydrate as soon as he stepped off the scales! I predict he will put on 14lbs or more from weigh in to fight time!
He is a career WW with some fights up at 154. The fact is he is getting bigger and older which means harder to make weight. I dont understand how people find it so hard to believe that he is having a hard time making 147 now. 2 years ago PAc was a LW. Could he make that safely now?? Things i noticed from the weigh in: Margarito's hair was damp as if he had been working out right before the weigh in. And i mean he probably went fromthe gym to the weigh in. As someone mentioned the first thing Margarito did was go drink some water when he got off the scale. Last time i saw that at a weigh in was Pavlik-Martinez. The size difference was so apparent that had i not seen the weigh in i would put some money on Margarito. Im sure Margarito will rehydrate to about 165.
damn people are not even waiting till after the fight to start coming up with the excuses already :hat
Or he just miscalculated his target weight schedule misjudging how fast he can lose weight near the time of the weigh in.
I think he busted his ass to make weight and still failed. Pacquiao was supposed to come in around 148. Manny looked a little softer than normal and Tony looks like he's cut from stone. I suspect that after getting caught with the loaded wraps, Margarito spent some time lifting weights in an effort to increase his strength and natural punching power. Making weight with the added muscle is now proving difficult.
