No.

Most fighters drain themselves the morning of the fight to make the weight on time. the earlier time means that Cotto can melt to 140 for the weigh in.. but the 4 extra hours give him about 32 hours before fight time instead of 28. In those 32 hours Cotto may be coming in at 160 the night of the fight
