He went up a massive 4 pounds. He just stopped dehydrating himself and got to eat fully.
He is a little guy who actually weighs around the weight limit in the ring where every guy he faces makes weight and ballons up to the upper 150s.
Naw i'd say Pac is a full welter, He can spark a dood at welter, he can take a punch at welter, he's been there for time and is comfortable taking all challengers at the weight.
It doesn't make it less impressive that he moved up so far but people grow as they age.
now saying that Pac is a full on junior middle would be a different story, just like how they were reluctant to take on guys at 154 with a big height advantage.. i'd say his frame/arm length etc is welterweight maximum, thats where his comfort zone ends
