Yeah, but Johnson's been in the game to long to overshoot by that much, if he was struggling to make the limit an old pro like him would come in bang on 168 IMO
Just an FYI, Johnson looked the exact same vs. Green, and he rehydrated to around 190lbs. He was 171 lbs. a couple of days out vs. Green and ended up fine. People are jumping to conclusions. As has been already stated in a different thread, Glen lost bodyfat and picked up around seven to eight pounds of muscle according to his nutritionist. If you aren't aware, muscle clings to the skeletal frame as opposed to fat which just kinda hangs there (becacuse muscle cells are more dense than fat cells) So, the fact that he looks skinny is kind of misleading. He's lost fat and gained muscle. He's leaner, not drawn of emaciated.
And De La Hoya weighing two pounds under the 147 limit for Pacquiao. I don't think anyone here would disagree Oscar was drained. :think
Boxing fans on the whole are the most shamefully ****ing stupid sports fans I have ever seen. Exaggerations and assumptions are the absolute truth in this game. Bandwagon jumping and jumping the gun in general is the norm. Jesus I hate most of you cocksuckers. Every weigh in, every fight, any fart in the wind through the boxing grape vince, it's this back and forth game of who can state opinions as facts, who can contradict themselves the most, who can distort what the most.
Johnson looking awesome he cant help looking old, its Froch who ussually looks boiled before weigh in, Froch win 8th round.
Johnson just has that look where he looks older than he actually is. When someone told me he was 38 years old a few years ago I thought the guy must have tampered with his birth certificate or something. He looked 50 back THEN!
delahoya's body was in shock and he came into the fight at 145. he couldn't rehydrate so they tried to inject fluids.
that unni chick acts like a dingbat. diet is one thing but using those fat measuring devices is overboard. shes just trying to justify her pay. i think that nutritionist overall are highly overrated. i lost money on vargas versus dlh because that dumb**** vargas was taking anabolic steroids used for draining water and building muscle mass...something that is important to bodybuilders and not boxers.
Johnson signed up for this. This fight is going to be a good fight. Johnson looked good against the overrated green, and froch be right in front if Johnson who loves when fighters stay in front of him.
For some strange reason...This fight could be fight of the year canididate!! Maybe its an outlandish statement on my part but I got a feeling that Johnson is gonna make Froch really work for this victory. Given Froch's character, I dont see him shying away from the challenge! I got Froch winning by a hard, fought UD, but no way in hell will this be easy for Froch.
