This seems REALLY fishy to me...(DLH weigh in)

[mike_tha_man]

well that would mean that unofficially come fight night Oscar lost 2 or 3 MORE pounds as he came in less then. instead of re-hydrating over night he lost more doubt it.

[cpcompany]

The thing that amazed me was that Oscar only put on 2 pounds after the weigh in. Surely he had to be weight drained?

[Boom Boom]

Oscar looked unhealthy walking to the ring. His skin coulor, his face looked drained as did his body. He looked like an old fighter, and a weight drained fighter. i thought for sure Oscar would win but when I saw him and heard he weighed in at 147 fight night, I was concerned when he got in the ring.

[Master]

Oscar mis-calulated big time. He came in too low and was weak as a kitten. To think he was going to fight Mayweather in the return at this weight he would have been stopped sooner. Prat and serves him right.

He looked fine, people need to stop putting the fact he is 35, and hadn't foughten at 147 in 7 years to rest. He looked fine at 150 against Forbes, light on his feet. People need to accept the better man won overwhelmingly.

them 3lbs can make more of a difference than you think, much the same way guzman could make 138lb but 135 lb made him ill

i also think the DLH that fought forbes would have lost, forbes marked him up more than some elite fighters did to oscar when he was at his best,

i think the first little speedy shot that manny threw signalled the end of DLH's hopes of winning

Any opinion on how Forbes would have fared against the DLH that fought PAC?

[hitmanhatton]

perhaps slightly better due to the weight thing

i think forbes has a losers mentality in the way he fights, i mean dont get me wrong his a good fighter i just feel in his bigest fights he seems as if his just happy to be there and against both DLH and Berto he appeared as if he was prepared to just make up the numbers and be competitive

If they ould rig the scale once, they could do it twice. I'm sure they would have thought about the next day weigh in.

There's one hell of a lot of money at stake. Draw your own conclusions here.

I'm a little sceptical that PAC's own scales would be 4 pounds off.

[hitmanhatton]

what else seemed a little bit odd was the fact that oscar weighed in on the night of the fight, when was the last time he did that, i know for a long time oscar has refused to let hbo know his unnoficial weight on the night of the fight

maybe the scales were rigged and he was trying to prove a point regarding the criticisms about the fight being a mismatch due to the size difference

[TyBuff]

I saw that ODLH only weighed 147 on fight night and thought that maybe they had it in the contract tha Oscar couldnt come in higher than 147 on fight night. It would make some sense as to why he weighed 145 for the official weigh in and gain ONLY 2 lbs overnight. I dont think he tried to rehydrate and had to have been a contract stipulation

roach said that the official weighing scale was re calibrated in favor of dlh. cause he was over the weigh limit and was suppose to pay 3M to pac for every pound dlh is over.

dlh was thin but not weight drained, as i said on the other thread. a boxer who is weight drained does not sweat as much warming up for a fight, dlh was sweating. both of them on the night of the official weigh in did not look like zombies cause of draining.

Good point. DLH had a good lather on just before the fight. A dehydrated weight drained fighter does not sweat up well at all.

Roach says Manny weighed over 146 lbs on their own scales not long before the official weigh in. 4 LB's got lost somewhere in that time frame. It makes you wonder if the scales were messed with just so DLH would not have to pay Manny more money.

It is one of those conspiracy theories that many will ponder for a while.

[Youngblood]

I am one shooting down the conspiracy theorists on this fight, but to keep it real...before the fight started, the only word I could come up with to describe this weigh in, was ...strange.

It's not just water than contributes to being weight-drained.

Muscle glycogen levels are very important and they need to be maximum come fight night. In-fact some form of carb-loading should take place in order for him to super-saturate his muscles with glycogen.

The fact that he only added 2lbs suggest to me that he didn't consume anywhere enough carbohydrates between the weigh in and fight night.
