I made a post a couple weeks ago highlighting how no fighter has ever moved down two weight classes and been successful, especially not one over 35.
Jones career fell apart when he did it, Tarver's career collapsed when he did it and Byrd could barely even stand up after dropping from heayweight to light heavy.
Oscar was his lowest weight for 12 years. When your 35 that is simply not natural.
At 154 the fight would have been very different I feel.
Of course.But if this fight happened at 154 and Oscar won most people wouldnt feel the outcome should have been different if the catch weight was 147.
everyone taught Oscar still had the upperhand. and its impossible for him be a light welter.
So I guess this weight is fair play for both of them. But the truth is Oscar is just a shot fighter and a promoter on his prime. Sad but true. and for the record,I think DOn King is shot.anyone who disagree?
An empty can is always noisy.
