    Guzman[Gooz-mon]
    verb
    1.
    the process of blatantly missing the championship bout's agreed-upon weight limit, forcing your opponent to take the fight to still get paid after months of training. (Ex. "My main homie Floyd Guzman'ed dat ****-drinker Marquez at da weigh-in! Floyd a G! -- bballchump)

    Would be a smart idea if he really has that much trouble making weight

    Now I'm not saying that Rios will do this, but it certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility, in my opinion.

    Something tells me the Margarito-Cotto II training camp in Mexico was a bad one. Probably the cold weather.

    I thought about this, there won't be a belt on the line to my knowlege so Rios can actually get away with it. If I was Gamboa I'd of insisted on a $'s per Lb sort of clause in the contract.

    Rios is didn't eat for five days before the Murray weigh in. I think that alone shows how much of a professional he is.

    Comparing him to Guzman is ridiculous.

    There's no reason to suspect Rios would do that. Guzman lacked dedication. Rios does not.
