That's what Team Hoya reported... Hoya at 145 lbs. right now... It really sounds weird since most boxers will try to maintain their weight a few pounds over the required weight limit before the weigh-in...
Well it's Hoya's style... It might work for him... ;)
.
Probably Valero got carried away, heh no more sparring for Hoya he's gotta get his face right for this fight. :p
Here's the 145 lbs. (and black eyed) Hoya...

I'm not sure if it's Valero or Victor Ortiz who inflicted that black eye on Hoya. Or is it just plain make-up (fake black eye)? Well Hoya likes to put make-up on his face? :lolhaha:

oscar does look a little pale and drained but i still think hes gonna win.
but the more and more i see pacman in good shape the more i think he can pull it off. but i hope he doesnt. :-\
Roach having a fun day too... ;)
Clearly, Roach has a plan and is excited about it. Asked what he observed when De La Hoya stopped using his effective jab against Mayweather in the later rounds, leading to his loss, Roach got a twinkle in his eye and said, "I know why the jab stopped working and that's part of our plan."
Clearly, Roach is having fun with all this. Asked why he had a huge painting on the wall of his gym that depicted De La Hoya fighting Felix Trinidad in their 1999 classic, Roach said, "I just put it up there because some guy wanted to sell it."
He paused for effect.
"Been up there a year," he said.
Clearly, the fun has just begun.
;D

;D
dlh weighing at 145 this early means he wants to retain some handspeed. he also wants to be comfortable at that weight. i dont think he will balloon back on fight day cause that will slow him down.
dlh knows he will gas out early and he will probably try to finish pac early.
