ive watched the fight three times now and dlh was actually game to fight pac. he tried to jab, he dug at pacs body and even tried to maul him by holding pacs nape and punching him three times. dlh was actually trying to hit pac,dlh wasnt like a human punching bag as i first watched it live.

pac made dlh look wasted and slow, dlh was game until the fourth round. on the seventh i knew dlh gave up already.

as for hatton he will get murdered by pac, pacs style feeds from fighters who likes to go forward. fighters who thinks they can out punch and out speed pac.

pbf on the other hand will give pac tons of problems. only pbf and jmm can beat pac...
It's not just rehydrating with water thats important, It's also very important to ensure muscle glycogen levels are full. The fact that he only put on 2lbs between the weigh in and the fight suggest his glycogen levels we're pretty low.

Also the stomach can shrink when you are 'dieting' but once you start eating properly again it will expand back to it's original size...or there or there abouts.
