Lamont Peterson said Lipinets hits harder than Spence too

Spence has come in as low as 155 before but he came in at 162 for Lo Greco albeit it was an over the welter limit catchweight bout and realistically he weighs about 10lbs more than Ruslan, Lipinets, and Manny on fight night and obviously Khan has come up from 130.

Crawford has always been a natural 147 pounder who cuts and rehydrated a lot of weight. He was coming in as high as 153 down at 135 and 157 at 140 and he's obviously bigger now since moving up to 147

Per his S&C coach

''We've trained harder since his last fight, putting more weight on him - good weight - putting some more muscle on him, and just getting him bigger, because we've always know he was going to have to move up in weight eventually, so that was a big part of it - just getting him heavier''

''He has easily put on 10lbs of muscle all the while by maintaining speed and athleticism.''

Here he is weighing in the ''60s-70s'' range so probably bare minimum at least the late 160s and as you can see he still looks very lean and in fighting shape

He weighed more down at 135 than career 140 pounder Postol did against him and he had 5lbs on the Ukrainian on the night

And more down at 140 than career 147 pounder Horn did against him. Horn weighed about 155-ish against him according to the graphic on TV and his trainer

Egis comes in about 160 IIRC which is only 3lbs more than what Crawford weighed against Postol and Diaz down at 140

Crawford must be at least 162 on fight night and I wouldn't be surprised if he weighed a few pounds more. Thurman probably weighs 160-162. He weighed 162 for Guerrero

BEST PUNCHER
Thurman: Thurman really knows how to put all his power behind his punches. Even when he’s moving laterally, he finds a way to land a big shot from a weird angle. He has power in both hands

 

Agreed. Well said.
