Sky Box Office Weigh-In Live NOW

Very interesting discussion.

As you say, some people will simply not be able to get that light due to their musculoskeletal system. I am like you. I am about 189cm and if I malnourished myself for a a couple of months I would not be lower than 95kg. When I was a skinny 16 year old I was 88kg. You may not think you are a heavy set person just by looks, but if you are lean and skinny looking but still heavy you actually are.

Look at the enormous difference in stature between Kovalev and Yarde on the scales. Kovalev looks like a junky but still weighs same as musclebound Yarde. Kovalev has the heavier musculoskeletal system.

 

Well yeah, if you say you can't - you can't.

 

If someone has visible abs when relaxed (around 8% body fat) and is sitting at 102kg without any kind of weights training and caloric surplus, their musculoskeletal system obviously won't allow them to reach 90kg, nevermind 75kg or less.

 

I'm 6ft 9 and have been up at 294 pounds, now at 215.

Use the intermittant fasting myself for keeping off the fat, run 20-30 miles per week, plus heavy bag, weights etc.

Thought Joshua looked a bit better today, cringed at the microphone grab though.

 

Yep. People underestimate factors like bone density which btw IMO is what distinguishes truly destructive punchers like Golovkin from mere middleweight mortals like Eubank Jr. Obviously technique and rotation are factors too but bone density is so overlooked.

 

Possibly. Or possibly not. One thing is for sure, if you start out with "I can't" then you are ALWAYS going to prove yourself right.

 

Awesome work Sir. You on 16:8 or other?

 

I found I don't need to do that, although all I consume from 6pm until 10am the next day is a couple of protein shakes.

 

Haha brilliant, fair play to you pal. What do you do at the gym?

 

Every single time people say Joshua looks light and yet he's not THAT different. 10lbs down from the Wlad fight but it's his typical fighting weight the last few years.

 

For me Usyk looks weak to the body, Joshua will be looking to exploit that and that peasized head !

 

Was it takam where he came in heaviest? Even before that people were saying he was looking light

 

Can’t wait for Florian Marku to get flattened.
