Yeah but Manny was in a coma! They had to wake him up literally... At least Paul Williams' eyes were still open. Manny's were closed, if they would have left him there he would have slept on the canvas overnight. All the crowd noise didn't even wake him up.

Fight was a joke, was contracted at 155, Mayorga's opponent came in at 153 and Mayorga came in at 175, 20lbs over. Mayorga "won" with an illegal knee to the spine.

MMA is just like a real street fight though right?

Nah I'm playing, its fucking Mayorga though if he wants to come in 20 pounds over and knee you in the spine that's what he's going to do because he's a fucking boss. He could have entered the cage with a knife and it would have been legal.

Eyes Wide Shut, Williams was OUT. That was pretty scary just the same.

There u go Argentino. I told u Mayweather comes into the ring in the low to mid 150's dog. Most experts and other fighters in folks in boxing know that. We may not get the exact weight but obviously even Garcia knows that and i would take the word of a fellow boxer over some hating ass fan lol. Also like I been saying and now everyone is saying Canelo is way to big and needs to fight people his own size. Boxing needs to change their rules on that rehydration bullshit. Got Em!!
there you go again with that "hater" word. how would garcia know floyd's weight anyway? nobody knows floyd's weight on fight night BECAUSE ITS NEVER SHOWN!

how is it that every fight BUT the main event on saturday had both weigh in and fight night weights shown? i couldn't even tell you the last time floyd's fight night weight has been shown because it hasn't!

No matter what anyone says, I do also see if they show or mention what Floyd's fight night weight is and they hardly ever do. I would like to know just to know as oppose to assume, even tho i do also think he doesn't balloon to 205 either. I think he goes up to 160, but not 170

Probably not 160...not against Geurrero at least. There was one fight, fuck I can't remember against, where floyd looked pretty damn swole, looked close at least to 160.

The thing with the unnofficial weigh ins are that they are not mandatory. Any fighter can refuse them. They are also not really accurate because they typically happen in the morning of the fight so a fighter can still be rehydrating and still weigh in more than the unnoficial weight.

Floyd is secretive, we know this because he almost never allows footage of his sparring sessions. Most other fighters do but Floyd, call it smart or whatever, he doesn't like his foes seeing what he does. Maybe his line of thinking is he doesn't want them to know what he weighs either. Keep them guessing I suppose.

Maybe u are talking about the Cotto fight. he did look kinda big there and he didnt look as quick thus maybe why he didnt move much. Also that fight was at 154 and Im sure he didnt want Cotto to out weigh him by much. Got Em!!
