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.
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.

i believe the medical side of your explanation... well simply because i dont understand half of it. ehehhe

but the question is why didnt he consumed the carb, water and whatever nutrients his body needs to get his body prepared for a beating i mean the fight?

normal people gains about a pound after eating heavily not so different from dlh. he has about four meals from the final weigh to the fight. so to me that suggests that dlh wasnt affected by his weight or diet. he didnt looked malnourished at all they assumed that it was the optimum weight for dlh to be in. i mean why would dlh even think of bulking up if we all know that it will only slow him down?
