Hatton puts on half a stone after the weigh in ?

[Finch]

I'm not a nutrition expert, but surely putting this much on in just over 24 hours is gonna be mainly shit ?

That's the amount Johnny Nelson i think it was just now said he'd be putting on.

7lbs is nothing

thats not much compared to some fighters

Clottey weighed in for the Corrales fight at 147 and entered the ring the following day at 170

No idea, also Cotto weighed in for the Paulie fight at 140 and put on a stone before the fight

He's in very good shape if he's only put 7lbs back on, I'd have expected him to be 152-55 in the ring, so if hes 147 he's in superb shape, not sure he'll be that light tbh

Explain how please ?

I understand at the weight in they would be at their lightest during the day, not eaten much prior to it, they'd piss till they drop and cut their nails off, their body hair etc etc to be as light as possible but even so, putting a stone on in a day i don't get.

When i was losing weight i was weighing myself about three times a day, even when i ate shit, it would fluctuate a couple of kilo's, but a stone ??????

Most of a human's bodyweight consists of water. Fighters sweat off (saunas/sweat suits) or use diuretics to lose the water weight, they then drink loads of water and are able to eat properly and your easily talking 7lbs. Typically they'll also be severely dieting/fasting to make weight and many splurge afterwards

Allot of fighters add 10-20lbs after the weigh in. Cotto/Margarito/Morales/R Marquez/Pacquaio/Delahoya are all known for adding 15lbs of water weight after a weigh in

If Hatton has only had to drain 7lbs of water its allot less than he usually drains, he usually comes in at 150-155 for 140lb fights

Mayweather and Barrera are probably the only 2 world class fighters below heavyweight who weigh the weight they fight at

[rhino222]

its all about fluid fellas, if you 'dry out' for 2 days to make the weight, you can feasable gulp down 3 litres of fruit juice straight after the weigh in, this automatically puts another 2.2lbs x 3 into your system. yes some of this will be excreeted via the kidneys but you still have 23hrs and 55 mins before the fight, to gulp more down. so..if the majority of your weight loss over the last 6 days before weigh in is fluid depravation, then its not difficult to realise what the replacement weight consists of.

Its just like a wet sponge being a lot heavier than a dry sponge.

Judah is another guy who doesn't drain at all. That's why he'd probably be a champ at 140, but when he's fighting welter's he's usually out-weighed by at least a stone come fight night and ends up getting his ass kicked by much naturally bigger men. Mayweather and Barrera could get away with because they're just that damn good.

was in boxing news that kevin mcintyre put on 16lbs after his weigh in and he usaly only puts on 7lbs after,didnt seem to do him any good.think its mostly water thats put on between weigh in and fight thats why they look so drawn in at the scales

It was in the round by round topic in the current scene. I assume one of the American commentators mentioned it. Malignaggi was 149 lbs.
