Thread: JMM Bulking Up?

According to Ring Magazine Juan Manuel Marquez will put on weight with the help of a physician for the Manny P. fight.

WHY?

Juan you should have learned from the Floyd debacle that you can't handle additional bulk. You should also be smart enough to know that Manny is only 3-4 pounds bigger on fight nights now that he was when you last met him at 130. The last time you fought Manny? He weighed 145 on fight night. So here's what you should be doing.

Train the way you normally do AND DON'T DEHYDRATE FOR THE WEIGH-IN! For your last fight you weighed in at fight time at 145 after weighing in the day before at 134.

Manny in his last fight weighed 148 in the ring after weighing in at 145. The two of you remain more or less the same size at fight time. The results of day before weigh-ins mean crap.

In other words, in terms of the only weight that really matters? You'll be within 3-4 pounds without changing anything. DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING EXCEPT DON'T DEHYDRATE!
