Nacho Beristain: Marquez doesn't have the speed!

[Taeth]

Oscar did have weight issues.

I know he did, that's what I was saying, he didn't mention it even though he knew there were problems. I just think he's got too much experience to come out mentioning that without a purpose.

Yeah, I would hope so. But Nacho just doesnt come across as the type of guy to go out of his way to play mind games either. I do think that Marquez will be a lot slower because of the weight, no matter how he put it on. I dint think his frame will carry 147 that well. Im hoping he comes in around 143.

He's come in more than that in a lightweight fight, I think he will weigh more than that for Mayweather. Honestly it doesn't make sense for weight lifting unless done to the extreme to really slow down handspeed, it builds those quick switch fibers. People's workrate usually drops, and they are more hesistant to let their hands go, but we've seen Manny, Roy Jones, Hopkins, Duran, leonard, Hearns, Mayweather retain great handspeed while going way up in weight.

The poster boy of weightlifting lowering handspeed is Mosley, but I felt his handspeed didn't deminish as much as he started loading up on punches, and stoped throwing combinations of his own accord. IMO it was his mind set not the muscle that slowed him down.

Also whats with the Oscar weight issue thing? IN terms of making weight it looked like it would be really easy for him. If anything the problems came from him being too low in weight for too long. He lost too much muscle trying to stay around 150 which allegedly he had been doing long before the fight took place.
