Marquez vs Ramos

[fan johnny]

Even at this weight Juan Manuel Lopez looks thick and too heavy. I look forward to seeing how he looks, but my initial impression is he shouldn't try to be any heavier against Manny.

I think his body looked fine. He is thicker in his last few fights at 135.
He rehydrated against katsidis to 145.

If I am him I train hard and get in great shape and come in around 138 again.
For whatever reason if Marquez were to come in at 141 and rehydrate 4 pounds and fight at 145 he'll look much worse than if he weighs in at 138 and fights at 145.

Makes no sense to me, but it seems to be true for Marquez.

Hard to argue with that now

Manny fights around 147-148 so if JMM is 144-5 on fight night? Where he wants to be is my guess.

Something I thought was kinda weird the announcer said his official weight was 135lbs but the earlier weigh in Cor. Bob said he was heavy at 138lbs.

I believe his weight was 138 and I thought 140 was the max contracted weight for the fight. I could be wrong.
