Re: Boxing thread plays

Live weigh-ins on Sportscenter coming up in about 15 minutes. I heard Margarito was having trouble making wait. I'm looking forward to see how he looks.

I seen a picuture of him a week ago and he looked fine .Of course I dont know what his weight was then

Re: Boxing thread plays

Yikes Manny only weighed 144.5 . He was suppose to come in at around 148. Margarito looked fine at 150 . Manny might be outweighed by 20lbs by tomorrow

Manny should have made the weight limit 147 not 150

Couple thoughts:

-- Margarito looked rail thin. I bet he rehydrates up to 170.
-- Pacman came in light. Only 144? He won't re-hydrate much from there.
-- LOL'ed at the Cheater chants.
-- They're fighting with 8 oz. gloves, instead of the more normal 10 oz gloves for this weight class. This makes a knockout more likely. I'm still considering the decision prop, and also thinking of Marga-cheato +18.5

Re: Boxing thread plays

I know he's manny but that size difference worries me. Giving up 20lbs on fight night is not something to take lightly....I'm staying away from betting this one but damn I can't wait to see what happens.

Not a whole lot. Oscar did not rehydrate much.

I still think Pac just hummingbirds the shit out of Margarito.

I'm guessing around 15-18 lbs . DLH weighed in at 145 for the Manny fight and was completely drained . By that time in his career he was use to fighting at 154 so by fight night he might of weighed 157-158 while Manny weighed 142

So do I Margarito and DLH are about the same size

You could be right I was only guessing .I tried to find the exact weights on fight night but had no luck

Re: Boxing thread plays

From wikipedia:

On December 6, 2008, Pacquiao moved up to the welterweight division, in order to face the six-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, in a fight called "The Dream Match". Presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank, the bout was scheduled as a twelve round, non-title fight contested at the 147 pound welterweight limit. Although Pacquiao went into the fight widely recognized as the leading pound-for-pound boxer in the world, some boxing pundits had speculated that 147 pounds could be too far above his natural weight against the larger De La Hoya.[48] However, due to rehydration after the weigh in, De la Hoya came into the fight actually weighing less than Pacquiao, and close to 20 pounds under his usual fighting weight. Pacquiao dominated the fight, and after eight rounds De La Hoya's corner was forced to throw in the towel, awarding Pacquiao the win via technical knockout.

Re: Boxing thread plays

Looks like Pacquiao entered the ring at 148.5, DLH @ 147.
