Why didn't Manny fight Algeri at 140 where he is undefeated?

    Algieri actually said he was struggling to make 140 and would have preffered the fight at 147. Makes sense, the guys 5'10 and big.

    I agree with this. In fact, Chris still looks thin and weak on a weight where he fought Manny on. At his body frame, I think he should have been on a heavier weight class.

    Well normally Algieri can make weight at 140, but given in this match that he was gonna be in a cage, he had to factor that in.
    Algieri's weight + cage weight = the catchweight.
    It was all in favor of Algieri, tbh.
