All boxers are heavier outside of training... but fitness is a lifestyle... not a period of it... ballooning up so fat between bouts is hurting Ricky... always the same crap... I'm fine... look how easy I can make the weight... but it doesn't work like that... It's a long term thing... you cna only do what he does for so many years... he's shortening his career big time.

He's big for 140 any way... he should actually train to be a 147 fighter... that's what he actually is.
Yeah but the big mistake was actually training to it and fought at it and then goes back this next fight, thats a big mistake imo. Cause I dunno, but his body don't seem right even if it wasn't all muscle or whatever he fought and weighed 147 pounds fighting and his body can get used to that but then cutting weight not too long after. People can say what they want about him going up in weight the wrong way, he is sure coming down in weight the wrong way and it will effect his stamin and his legs, he was even fading late in the Collazo fight and Ricky was his greatest in the last rounds and if his condition wasnt par to the Collazo fight pushing it to make 140 isn't gonna make it any better, and one of his strengths is overpowering and bullying and imposing his will, if he doesn't have his power or legs or stamina to do that to Urango who loves to fight within that distance this could be an upset...
