Zurdo weighing 204

Jesus wept! He weighed 196 for his official LHW debut

196 is the biggest recorded weight gain of any LHW I've ever heard of up until then and not by a pound or two either. Like by 4lbs.

Joe Smith who is considered a big LHW weighed 188 for B-Hop

Marcus Browne has come in at like 190-192 IIRC

Bivol who is a career LHW weighed 183 in the ring the other night and he was 180, 181, and 184 for his other fights where the weights were announced

Zurdo has talked of moving up to HW but it's hard to believe he weighed that much. That's 29lbs

 

I've heard of MMA guys rehydrating that much but never boxers

'By the time Thiago Alves steps into the cage tonight (March 2, 2012) to face off against Martin Kampmann in the main event of UFC on FX 2, which emanates live from the Allphones Arena in Sydney, Australia, he'll likely be doing it as a light heavyweight.

Not that it matters, but his contest against "The Hitman" was contracted at 170-pounds.

Celebrity nutritional adviser Mike Dolce, founder of the famed "Dolce Diet," was "Down Under" this week to help "The Pitbull" make his mark. The Brazilian has been inconsistent in successfully cutting weight throughout the course of his career, but based on a recent tweet by Dolce himself, he doesn't seem to have any trouble putting it back on.

27 pounds in just three hours, for those of you keeping score at home.
Alves weighed in at 170.5 at Thursday night's weigh in event, and Dolce later tweeted that he was already back up to 197.6. By tonight, who knows what the finally number might be.'

 

Yeah it's ridiculous. We aren't just seeing fights between fighters where one looks two divisions bigger after the weigh in, we're seeing ones between fighters who look like they're two different species after the weigh in
