I really doubt it was planned to come in weighing less on the night of the fight... THe fact that he only rehydrated a couple of pounds probably just tells you he was completely drained and didn't make weight properly.

Re: Did Oscar maybe aim for speed??
Yeah, Manny fought a great fight no doubt but even when Manny won other big fights, he never dominated another top level guy he beat like that. Oscar's age & dropping so much weight all worked against him that night to make Manny look spectacular. Of all the guys Oscar's fought, you'd expect maybe Hopkins to beat him that badly, not a guy coming up from 135.

Oscar thought he could match Pac's speed by staying below 150. He was dead wrong. He did too many tactical mistakes too.
