Why did he HAVE to know? if he is to be beleived, he only failed the last time because of a rib injury which stopped him training for 2 weeks.

This time he had the prospect of an uniterupted camp and full rest from the last bout (you try starving yourself down to 135 pounds after a long training camp, fighting a hard 10 round war and then having to make that weight again in a matter of months... they may seem fine in a post fight interveiw... or when they get their hands lifted but you have no idea what the pain is like once the adrenalin leaves they're system... toe to toe fights take something out of you, esspecially miles from your natural weight).

He beleived he could make the weight, he failed and now he is being critised and having unfair accusations made against him because people have no idea how high the goals they make for fighters actually are.
